Game On…Immigrants.

Now that there is a new sheriff in town the rules may change rapidly.  For immigrants in our country those changes may not be favorable.  Now more than ever, it is time to think about your future if you are not a citizen of the United States but plan on staying here.  One of the main reasons people immigrate to the US is for asylum.

Asylum by its very definition (a place offering protection and safety) should mean what it says.  If you or a loved one was persecuted in the country of your origin America has always offered protection.  We built two-and-a-half centuries on that premise.  You need to feel safe and secure in the good old US of A.

Never has it been more important to find a lawyer who is dedicated to your future residence in America.  If you live in or around Baltimore the answer is obvious.  Call Baltimore area asylum attorney Briana Arnold.  She will help you stay in this great country.  Address this issue today by arranging a meeting at her Reisterstown Road office by calling (410) 484-1400.

Kids in Car Seats.

What is your most precious cargo when driving the highways and bi-ways of the Baltimore area?  Why, your kids of course!  We would do anything to protect them, but sometimes we become less than diligent when it comes to traveling around in our vehicles.  This is especially true this time of year when road conditions are uncertain.

We all know that a proper child safety seat significantly reduces the chance of a serious injury occurring in a crash.  The type of seat that your kids are in should be judged by their age, their size and, of course their weight.  If the seat you choose is well past the manufacture date…say 5-6 years it very well may be expired.

Choosing the correct child seat for your children is one of your most important decisions.  And remember…NEVER leave your kids in the car alone!  If a potentially defective children’s car seat has caused an injury to someone in your family, immediately call Baltimore defective car seat litigation attorney, Briana Arnold, at (410) 484-1400.

Are You Owed Child Support?

What better way to start the New Year than discovering that some much needed AND deserved financial help is on the way?  Dead beat or just simply down-and-out “baby daddies” are shirking their responsibility all over the country.  Maybe they think that by not acknowledging your phone calls, emails, etc. that you will just quietly go away.

The lack of child support is one of the primary reasons that moms and their kids go on welfare.  You deserve better than that!  He helped create these beautiful lives, now it is his co-responsibility to make sure that they have opportunities to become responsible adults.  It is only fair isn’t it? 

Where do you turn when a negligent father refuses to pay his fair share?   Baltimore area child support attorney Briana Arnold may be able to help.  She will apply her years of experience in family law matters to your particular case.  Begin 2017 by doing the right thing for your kids.  Call Briana Arnold today at (410) 484-1400.

Prescription Drug Abuse in America.

Every time a drug is prescribed in the Baltimore area there are multiple steps where errors can rear their ugly heads.  Among those errors are ordering the correct amount, making sure that the information is transported properly to the pharmacist, checking for side-effects, and just giving the correct dose at the proper time.

Did you know that improper drug allotments account for nearly three-quarters of a million emergency-room visits per year in the United States?  A couple of years ago there was a study that showed half of all drugs administered around the time of a surgery had some sort of snafu occur.  About 80% of these mistakes could have been prevented!

It is important to know where to turn when you or a loved one have been personally harmed in any way.  Baltimore area personal injury attorney Briana Arnold may be able to help.  She will carefully review and discuss your potential personal injury case.  It may be one of the most important steps you have ever taken.  Call Briana Arnold today at (410) 484-1400.

Sloppy Medical Practices.

The days of “oh no, we operated on the wrong body part” are NOT completely over.  Surgical errors still occur every day in this country.  Something as simple as the surgeon operating on the wrong vertebra just because the X-ray was not completely clear is still a very real scenario.  Here is a more common mistake…is the procedure being done the correct one in the first place?

This statistic may shock you.  In a survey taken over 12 major U.S. cities, it was discovered that nearly HALF of all patients did not receive the recommended care for their particular condition(s)!  Every body is different.  Operating rooms are not supposed to be assembly lines.  Because of the fear of malpractice some mistakes are made out of omission rather than commission.

It all adds up to this…medical malpractice is still rampant even in our modern health care facilities.  Always ask your doctor ahead of time to give you details on your treatment step-by-step.  If something occurs that just does not seem right, please contact Baltimore area medical malpractice attorney Briana Arnold.  You can reach her for thorough and confidential advice at (410) 484-1400.

The Illegal Immigrant Population.

First of all, let’s answer the obvious question.  About how many immigrants are in the United States illegally?  There are approximately 11 million or roughly 3.5% of the U.S. population.  This may surprise you - about two-thirds of this segment of the population have been in America for more than 10 years.  Plus, they are more likely to be native-born residents.

About 40% of these illegal immigrants have simply outstayed their visas.  The government is cracking down on border crossings by employing five times more agents than it had 25 years ago.  It is estimated that over eight million are employed or looking aggressively for jobs.  And believe it or not, roughly half of them pay some form of income taxes!

This issue will continue to become more and more complicated.  To sift through it schedule a free consultation with Briana Arnold.  Attorney Arnold is a Baltimore area immigration and naturalization attorney.  She will assess your case and suggest options that fit YOUR needs.  Give her a call at (410) 484-1400 for a free consultation at her office on 1777 Reisterstown Rd in Pikesville, MD.
