Claimed Lawyer ProfileQ&A
Biography
I was born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska, where I practiced law from 1977. I was a municipal attorney for the first part of my legal career, and then switched to private practice. I conducted a general private law practice, with emphasis in civil litigation and bankruptcy. I also taught several college-level courses relating to various aspects of the law. In 2004, my family and I moved to Florida and have been here ever since. From 2011 to 2015 I worked for another lawyer in Walton County, assisting him in his office, especially with scheduling of attendance at real estate foreclosure hearings in behalf of secured creditors. I was admitted to the Florida bar in 2016.

Legal Answers
- Q. HOw can I fight a mobile home park about them not renewing our lease for a reason that was discrimitive?
- A: Having been accused of violence in the course of breaking up a fight doesn't sound like discrimination on the basis of being in a suspect category (race, etc.). So, unless the mobile home park's agreement proves otherwise, they can get rid of you.
- Q. See below
- A: a. You should ask the local police if they can and will prosecute the cyclist. b. The resident driver's liability insurance company might be able to sue the HOA and the security company if the carrier is obligated to pay damages to the cyclist. c. The cyclist is probably barred from suing because of the doctrines of assumption of risk, and the cyclist's damages might be reduced by the doctrine of comparative negligence.
- Q. If the grantee s post office address is wrong on quite Claim Deed, Does it make the instrument defective or invalid
- A: Or, if you are the grantee, simply notify the post office of a change in address. You should probably also notify the tax collector.
