Why Become a Notary Public

A licensed notary is a reasonably lucrative, highly employable, and yet somewhat hidden professional position. This is because its duties are often included as part of other jobs. Becoming a notary, also known as a notary public, can help you launch your own business or increase your value as an office employee.

Want to enhance your resume? Why not become a Notary Public. Most employers expect their paralegals to be notaries and trust they know what they are doing! Being a Notary Public is definitely …

Why Black Homeowners in Brooklyn Are Being Victimized by Fraud

The house, in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood in Brooklyn, has an even more remarkable story — Ms. Byas’s father, a teacher who was born into a family of former slaves in South Carolina, bought it in 1957 for $7,500. But now the house is going through a tumultuous chapter. Ms. Byas, 54, is working to reclaim it after she was duped into signing away her property deed, according to federal prosecutors. Though the house is worth about $1.2 million, she gave it up, unwittingly, for a mere $120,000.

Deed theft, or stealing the title to a house, has become a worrisome crime in Brooklyn, targeting rapidly gentrifying communities of color.

TODAY’s JOKE - JOKESDAILY.NET
The engineer found himself at the pearly gates. St. Peter looked him up in the book, and found that he was destined for the other place. The engineer protested that this must be a mistake, and that he had lived a righteous life, going to church every week, being faithful to his wife etc. to no avail. About 6 weeks later God reviews the lists and realizes that the engineer has been sent to the wrong place. So he rings up Lucifer and demands that the engineer be sent up. Lucifer says "NO WAY. This guy was the best thing to ever happen here. He's got the AC working, we have running water and cable now too, and next week he thinks we will get internet access and an ice cream machine." God is pissed and yelling says "I'll sue". Lucifer says "ya okay, but where are you going to get a lawyer?"

The movement to limit Spanish speaking in US

The SPLC monitors hate groups in the US, which they define as any organisation that - based on its official statements or principles, the statements of its leaders, or its activities - has beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristics.
In this sense, the SPLC qualifies as hate groups several organisations that it considers anti-immigrant, such as the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and the Washington DC-based Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).

Attempts persist to make English the official language of the US. But what real power does it have?

Workers’ Compensation - NY Personal Injury Attorneys

When do most people seek a Worker’s Compensation Attorney in New York?
Most seek an attorney when their claims are denied or are receiving improper treatment for their injury. Some of the other reasons that you may choose to work with a lawyer include:
* The injury happened at work, but a third-party vendor rather than your employer is responsible.
* A defective product caused your injury, making you potentially eligible to file a claim for product liability against its manufacturer
* You’re the victim of toxic exposure such as asbestos
* Your employer knowingly violated the law and required employees to work in unsafe conditions
* You work for a very small employer that doesn’t carry workers’ compensation insurance

NY Contested Divorce Lawyers - Figeroux & Associates

While a nice thought, a conflict-free relationship is not a realistic expectation.

Between any two imperfect humans, disagreements and misunderstandings are bound to arise.

It’s how you approach conflict in your relationship that makes all the difference.

In fact, not all conflict needs to result in an argument. It can be productive. Often, it is an opportunity to connect and hear your partner’s needs.

So don’t be afraid of conflict. It can be helpful to remember that while conflict is inevitable, combat is optional.

There are many reasons why homeowners face foreclosure, such as job loss, sudden illness, divorce,and excessive debt obligations. Our seasoned foreclosure defense lawyers will analyze your situation to determine the most effective and appropriate course of action.
