President Biden, the Federal Trade Commission, and Non-Compete Contracts

I have shared my bias before…I dislike non-compete and non-solicitation contracts with a passion.  They unfairly prevent an employee from using his/her skills and knowledge to earn a living and feed their family.  Even more, these restrictive employment provisions are bad for our economy and American innovation. My home state of Virginia passed a new…

Virginia River Season 3 – skeezy lawyer Todd and how our attorneys (Dan / Lauren / Bo) are not like that guy

Failure to diagnose ovarian / vaginal / cervical cancer (Gynecoligic Cancers)

Ok ladies – let’s talk. Our mamas didn’t sit us all down and explain much about our gal parts – or how to keep ourselves safe – other than – “GO TO YOUR OBGYN.” And so generations of women do very little but an annual or bi-annual pap smear and or visit to the OBGYN.…
