We already gave you the phone number, above. We know what we are doing. Everyone wants to know what it will cost up front. We can’t tell you that during a two minute phone call which is why we invite anyone who has been arrested to come meet with us in person. We don’t charge for a criminal consultation. If you’re still wondering about price, compared to other attorneys we usually land somewhere in the middle. We offer flat fee pricing on criminal matters which usually works better for clients since they know what the total amounts are going to be and don’t have to worry about monthly bills. Heck, we even take credit cards (even Discover as I found out recently.)

More importantly, we actually do care about you and your well-being. My wife thinks that I trouble disassociating myself from the crimes my clients are alleged to have committed. I’m not even sure what that means, but my job is to bear some of the weight that has fallen on your shoulders, so maybe she is right.

    The Kelo majority allowed the takings when it held that economic development qualifies as a public use under the federal Constitution. The majority also expressed its deference to legislature on the question of what constitutes a public use. By comparing precedent, Justice Stevens of the majority found that New London's plan served the “valid public purpose of economic development, including new jobs and increased tax revenues." (Kelo v. City of New London, Majority Opinion, 13). Justice Stevens emphasized that the Court could not distinguish economic development from the way that the Court defined public use in its precedent because the Court maintained a broad understanding of public use.…

He goes on to claim that their view is an infantile version of the Mutakallimun, who took the basis of this argument and developed it into a theological position, repeatedly referring to the Karaite tradition as “scanty”.

When the true process of procedural justice is implemented, people feel they have been treated with respect and dignity allowing the individual to accept outcomes they may not like (Burgess & Cast 2013).…
