Q. If someone is arrested at a hospital are they in titled to receive the care that is recommended by the hospital?

July 19, 2019

A: Sorry but they will give you the most limited cate they can get away with.

Q. Can a minor date an adult without any sexual relationship and still be legal?

May 30, 2019

A: It is not illegal for a minor to communicate with an adult. Yet, it is never an idea you want to allow! Only face time? How do you know? The adult is much too old and any thing other than normal conversation is likely to get him in grave trouble. Don't allow this type of communication Ever.

Q. Is it just that in a criminal case like domestic assault, spousal privilege “may not be claimed” but still could be?

April 7, 2019

A: Spousal privilege cannot be claimed. The idea of it as a defense in a criminal matter (domestic assault, sex trafficking, drugs) is really no longer valid. Some communication may be excluded or barred, but over the year the privilege has been eroded.
