Happy Holidays to All Americans.

Wherever you may have been born you are now in America.  If you came here to live then we want to help you stay in our great country.  The recent election has raised the awareness of many as to the future of immigration.  At this point NOTHING has changed.  What may or may not happen remains to be seen, of course.

One thing is certain.  If you are here and not yet a citizen of the United States you must follow the rules and regulations of this great nation.  Things may change after January 20th so why not prepare now?  Don’t panic.  Right now you have no reason to.  Success in this country has always belonged to the well-prepared.  Just read our history books and you will see that for yourself.

Do not wait until the New Year.  Now is the time to contact Baltimore area immigration attorney Briana Arnold.  She will sit down with you and offer her expertise of many years as to what is happening now and her considered opinion of what the future of immigration in this country will bring.  It may be the most important thing you will ever do as a future US citizen.  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.

Car Accidents and the Proper Steps to Take.

Some attorneys spend tens of thousands of dollars every month on advertising asking you to call them if you have been in a car accident.  If they have that much money and time to permeate the tube I’m not so sure that they have the personal touch that it takes to defend your rights one-on-one.  Does a big multi-lawyer firm intimidate you?

At some point or points in your life you will probably be involved in a car accident.  If it is not horrifically serious you may tend to exchange phone numbers and insurance providers with the other driver and just be grateful to have walked away from the crash.  It is vitally important to assess the condition of you and any loved ones involved.  It costs nothing to consult a qualified personal injury attorney.

If an auto accident occurs on the Beltway there is a sole-practitioner who will devote her EVERY effort to get you the compensation that you deserve.  Contact Baltimore area car accident attorney Briana Arnold.  Attorney Arnold will assess your case thoroughly.  Give her a call at (410) 484-1400 for a free consultation at her office on 1777 Reisterstown Rd in Pikesville, MD.

Deportations are the Lowest in a Decade.

Undocumented immigrants have been deported at the lowest rate since 2007.  Now, where do we go from here?  Obviously with strong political views on both sides, next month’s election will determine a great deal of how deportation evolves in the next several years.  In President Obama’s first term a record number of undocumented immigrants were deported.

According to the United States government increased technology has led to a lower deportation rate.  Border crossings have decreased and the Mexican government is assisting by sending many Central Americans back to their respective homelands before they ever reach the U.S. border.  Of course, we are awaiting the next Supreme Court nominee to see how laws are interpreted in the future.

This issue of immigration could not be more sensitive than it is now.  If you are seeking compassion and experience, then please contact Baltimore area immigration attorney Briana Arnold.  Attorney Arnold will advise you on any and all matters that are effecting your family.  Give her a call at (410) 484-1400 for a free consultation at her office on 1777 Reisterstown Rd in Pikesville, MD.

How to Handle Your Personal Injury Claim.

Many people think that certain personal injury cases may be handled without the benefit of an attorney.  These claims come in all sizes and varieties.  Are you qualified to determine the severity and potential complications of a given P.I. case?  The injury may have occurred in your car, you may have slipped and fallen in a store, or maybe a neighborhood dog took a bite out of you.

Handling the claim on your own may bring into play the old adage “he who represents himself in court has a fool for a lawyer”.  If you mishandle your side of the case it is a bit like treating a wound without proper medical attention.  In this particular case you could be leaving thousands of dollars lying on the table…you will never know!

Personal injury is more often than not something that needs to be handled by an experienced attorney.  If you feel that you have a potential case, why not begin by contacting Baltimore area personal injury attorney Briana Arnold.  Attorney Arnold will advise you on the proper next step.  Give her a call at (410) 484-1400 for a free consultation at her office on 1777 Reisterstown Rd in Pikesville, MD.
