SMP Law wishes everyone a safe and happy Halloween!

Whether representing yourself or if you hire a lawyer, you will at some point need to do some legal research into other cases. When in court, judges will sometimes ask “what cases are you relying on” with the assumption that you have done some research into other cases.

Law firms are typically comprised of sole practitioners who tend to work alone with an administrative person or comprised of multiple practitioners working together along with various clerks and administrative personnel in small to large size firms. Should you hire two lawyers or one?

Peace bonds can be seen differently depending on the judge. For example, a peace bond can be determined that since the person did not go to trial the actual criminal issue was not determined or decided. A peace bond should not be determined an admission of guilt, unfortunately the optics of a peace bond do not sometimes play out that way.

SMP Law wishes a Happy Easter to those who are celebrating this weekend! We hope you have a safe and relaxing weekend with your loved ones. SMP Law office is open on Monday, April 1st.
