    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           After an accident, many individuals are unsure of their legal rights or whether they even have a valid claim. Personal injury lawyers are trained to evaluate your situation, determine liability, and explain your options in clear terms.

           Determining the true value of a personal injury claim can be complex. It’s not just about immediate medical bills—there are often additional factors to consider.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Without legal experience, it’s easy to underestimate the value of your claim and accept less compensation than you deserve.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Insurance companies are often focused on minimizing payouts. They may offer quick settlements that do not fully cover your losses or use tactics that can weaken your claim.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;

            Protect you from making statements that could harm your case
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;

           Having an experienced advocate on your side helps level the playing field and ensures your interests are represented.

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Successful personal injury claims rely on strong evidence. Lawyers know how to gather and present the information needed to support your case.

            Long-Term Impacts of a Criminal Conviction
           &#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           When facing criminal charges, most people focus on the immediate penalties: fines, probation, and the possibility of jail time. While these are significant concerns, they represent only the beginning of a long journey. The reality is that a criminal conviction carries a wide array of hidden consequences that can follow you for years, affecting nearly every aspect of your life. These are often called the "collateral consequences of conviction," and they can be just as damaging as the initial sentence.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Understanding these long-term impacts is crucial for anyone navigating the criminal justice system. A conviction can create barriers to stable employment, secure housing, and even fundamental civil rights. Learn all about the less obvious repercussions of a criminal record and discuss potential ways to mitigate them. Quarantillo &amp;amp; Truex can explain how a conviction can impact your career, housing situation, immigration status, and personal freedoms long after you have served your time.

           Employment, Licensing, and Professional Registration Risks

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           One of the most significant and immediate challenges for someone with a criminal record is securing and maintaining employment. Many employers conduct background checks as a standard part of the hiring process. A conviction, especially for a felony, can automatically disqualify you from certain positions, regardless of your qualifications or how long ago the offense occurred.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

            The question of
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           how a criminal record affects employment in New York
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            is complex. New York State has laws designed to prevent automatic discrimination, but employers are still permitted to consider convictions if the crime is directly related to the job's duties or if hiring the individual would pose an unreasonable risk. For example, a conviction for fraud could prevent you from working in finance, and a violent offense could bar you from a role involving public safety.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Beyond general employment, a criminal record can jeopardize professional licenses. Occupations such as nursing, teaching, real estate, and law require state-issued licenses to practice. A conviction can lead to the denial of a new license application or the suspension or revocation of an existing one. Professional boards have wide discretion in these matters, making it essential to have skilled legal guidance when your career is on the line.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h2&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Housing, Eviction, and Public Benefits Impacts
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Finding a safe and stable place to live is another major hurdle. Landlords, much like employers, frequently run background checks on prospective tenants. A criminal record can be grounds for denying a rental application, leaving you with limited and often less desirable housing options. Private landlords have significant leeway in their screening processes, and a past conviction can be a difficult stigma to overcome.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           This issue extends to public and subsidized housing. Many public housing authorities have strict rules that can disqualify individuals with certain types of criminal records from eligibility. In some cases, an entire family can face eviction if one member of the household is convicted of a crime, even if the offense did not occur on the property.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Furthermore, a conviction can affect your eligibility for government assistance programs. Benefits like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) may be restricted or denied, particularly for drug-related felony convictions. These policies can strip away a critical safety net at the moment you need it most.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h2&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Immigration, Visa, and Deportation Risks
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           For non-citizens, the immigration consequences of a criminal conviction can be the most severe penalty of all. Under federal immigration law, a wide range of criminal offenses can render a person deportable, even if they are a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) who has lived in the United States for decades.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Crimes that can trigger deportation include "crimes of moral turpitude," aggravated felonies, drug offenses, firearm offenses, and domestic violence convictions. The definition of these categories is broad and can sometimes include misdemeanors under state law. A conviction can also make you inadmissible, preventing you from re-entering the country after travel or adjusting your status to become a permanent resident or citizen.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Navigating the intersection of criminal and immigration law is incredibly complex. What might seem like a minor offense can have devastating and permanent consequences for your ability to remain in the country with your family.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h2&gt;&#xD;

           Gun Rights, Voting Rights, and Other Civil Disabilities
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           A criminal conviction, particularly a felony, can result in the loss of fundamental civil rights. These are often referred to as "civil disabilities." One of the most well-known is the restriction on firearm ownership. Federal and state laws prohibit convicted felons from purchasing, possessing, or owning a gun, often for life.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Your right to vote can also be taken away. While rules vary by state, many jurisdictions disenfranchise individuals while they are incarcerated, on parole, or on probation for a felony conviction. Some states have lifetime voting bans for certain offenses. Re-enfranchisement is often a complicated process that does not happen automatically.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Other civil liberties may be impacted as well. For instance, a felony conviction can prevent you from serving on a jury or holding public office. These consequences can leave you feeling like a second-class citizen, unable to fully participate in the community long after you have paid your debt to society.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h2&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Insurance, Loans, and Background Check Issues
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The reach of a criminal record extends into your financial life. When you apply for insurance, whether it's for a car or a home, the company may view you as a higher risk and charge you significantly higher premiums or deny coverage altogether.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Similarly, obtaining a loan can become much more difficult. Banks and other lending institutions often conduct background checks as part of their due diligence. A criminal history can be a red flag, making it harder to secure a mortgage, a car loan, or even a small business loan. This can create a significant barrier to building wealth and achieving financial stability.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The pervasive nature of commercial background checks means your record can surface in unexpected places, potentially affecting everything from volunteering at your child's school to adopting a pet.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           How Sealing or Expungement Might Mitigate Consequences
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h2&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           While the collateral consequences of a conviction are daunting, there may be a path forward. Many jurisdictions offer legal remedies like sealing or expungement, which can limit the public visibility of a criminal record.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;

            Sealing
           &#xD;

      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
             a record generally means it is removed from public view, though it may still be accessible to law enforcement and certain government agencies.
            &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
        
            Expungement
           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
             is a more powerful remedy, as it typically involves the complete destruction of the record.
            &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           In New York, for example, certain convictions can be sealed after a 10-year waiting period, provided you have remained crime-free. This can make a tremendous difference when applying for jobs or housing, as a sealed record will not appear on most background checks. However, eligibility rules are strict and the process can be complex.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Exploring these options is a critical step toward moving past a conviction. An experienced attorney can help you determine if you are eligible for sealing or another form of post-conviction relief and guide you through the necessary legal proceedings.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

Understanding the full scope of potential penalties is the first step in building a strong defense and planning for your future. If you or a loved one is facing criminal charges, it is vital to seek guidance from a legal team that sees the whole picture—not just the immediate court case.

           Living Together During a Divorce
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h1&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Divorce is often an emotionally complex and challenging experience, but circumstances sometimes require couples to share a home while navigating the separation process. This can create a delicate balancing act as both individuals try to move forward while maintaining a functional living arrangement. If you find yourself in this situation, it’s important to establish boundaries, communicate effectively, and focus on creating a peaceful environment. If times get tough, it might be time to call a professional divorce lawyer to find peaceful resolutions and protect your rights. Below, we’ll explore practical tips for living together during a divorce to help you maintain stability and reduce stress.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Setting Clear Boundaries
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           When living together during a divorce, setting boundaries is essential. Discuss and agree on shared household responsibilities, personal space, and financial matters. For instance, designate separate areas in the home where each of you can have privacy. Additionally, you should establish a clear division of chores to ensure equal contribution to household upkeep. These boundaries not only make daily life more manageable but also help reduce conflict.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           It’s also advisable to define guidelines for social interactions, especially if either partner plans to start dating during the divorce process. Discussing these topics upfront can help prevent misunderstandings and maintain respect in your shared space.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Maintaining Open Communication
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Effective communication is a crucial element for navigating life under the same roof. While you may no longer share the same goals as a couple, open and honest communication can prevent misunderstandings and help you address issues before they escalate. Focus on practical discussions regarding finances, parenting (if applicable), and the logistics of daily living.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Consider scheduling regular check-ins to touch base and ensure you’re both on the same page about matters like bill payments and future plans. If communication becomes strained, a mediator or divorce lawyer may be able to facilitate constructive conversations and negotiate solutions.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Prioritizing the Well-Being of Children
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           For couples with children, living together during a divorce can be even more complex. It’s important to shield your children from unnecessary stress by presenting a united front as co-parents and preventing them from feeling caught in the middle. Be honest about the situation in an age-appropriate manner, emphasizing that both parents remain committed to their happiness and well-being.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Create a collaborative parenting plan to divide responsibilities and time with the children fairly. Continuing to provide a sense of routine and consistency helps children feel secure during this transitional time. However, if you are facing issues with child custody, hiring a divorce lawyer can help you work through these complex issues and fight for your rights.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Practicing Self-Care and Emotional Management
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The stress of divorce, combined with the challenges of cohabitation, can take a toll on your mental and emotional health. Make time for self-care to help you process your emotions and regain a sense of control. Whether it’s through therapy, yoga, or simply a regular walk to clear your mind, prioritizing your well-being is key to navigating this period with resilience.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Seeking guidance from a divorce lawyer can also provide peace of mind. They can handle the legal complexities of your case, allowing you to focus on your personal and emotional needs without additional worry.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Planning for Your Next Steps
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           While temporarily sharing a home, it’s crucial to plan for your future living arrangements and financial independence after the divorce is finalized. Evaluate your finances, research housing options, and consider your goals for life after separation. The more prepared you are for the next chapter, the easier it will be to transition when the time comes.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           A divorce lawyer can provide valuable assistance as you prepare for these next steps. They can help you understand your rights, divide assets fairly, and ensure that the legal aspects of your divorce are handled efficiently.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

           What Do You Need to Know About Workers Comp?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h1&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Workers' compensation is a type of insurance provided by law through employers that covers injuries and illness that are a direct effects of their job. When an employee makes a workers comp claim, they only receive compensation when the employer or insurance company determines if your illness or injury was a direct result of your work. However, if your claim is disputed, then you may not see compensation until a judge decides whether your claim is correct or not. But before submitting a workers comp claim, what else should you know about it?
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h3&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Workers Comp Provides Extensive Coverage
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Workers' comp covers injuries, such as slip-and-fall or machinery accidents, and illnesses, such as breathing problems as a result of exposure to dangerous chemicals, and provides financial coverage for lost wages, medical expenses, and rehabilitation.  Most workers' comp policies also provide death benefits, in the event that the worker is killed on the job.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h2&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Workers Comp is a Trade Off for Legal Action
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           With a workers comp policy in place, employees are unable to take legal action for their injuries against the company they currently work for. In exchange for being unable to sue the company, the employee is able to collect the financial benefits and accommodations of workers comp. However, employees can take legal action if their claims involve their employer intentionally causing harm to employees or acting recklessly that resulted in the injury or illness.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;h2&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Not All Employers Carry Workers' Compensation Insurance
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           While most states require businesses to carry a workers comp policy, Texas is an exception in that carrying workers comp insurance is optional. Workers comp is also not applicable for self-employed individuals, agriculture workers, and real estate workers, so it is important to know if your employer provides such coverage for you.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;

           You Should Have All Applicable Information Prepared

            When preparing to submit a workers' comp claim, you will want to make sure you have the following information prepared:

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

      <title>Factors That Impact Child Custody</title>
      <link>https://www.quarantilloandtruex.com/factors-that-impact-child-custody</link>
      <description>Are you and your child’s other parent fighting for child custody? Click here to learn more about the factors that are used to determine who gets custody of the child!</description>

  &lt;h1&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           What the Court Considers When Granting Child Custody
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h1&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           As parents, we all want what is best for our children. They are the most precious thing to us. There is an unbreakable bond between a parent and a child. When they are born, we expect both parents to be active in the child’s life and both to co-parent the child. Children are born during relationships between parents that unfortunately do not always last. A point of conflict during splits is often child custody. Each parent wants to have custody of their kid because they are everything to them. So, if you are in a child custody case with your former partner you should understand what the court looks at to determine which parent will be awarded custody. These factors include:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Relationship Between Parents &amp;amp; The Child(ren): The relationship between each parent and the child is unique. If one parent is not around much, they develop a much deeper connection with the more active parent. It is more likely that the more active parent would get custody while the other parent gets visitation rights and must pay child support.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Mental &amp;amp; Physical Wellbeing of the Parent: If a parent has a physical disability that makes it more difficult to take care of the child, they are less likely to get custody. In addition, a parent who has a mental illness or emotional condition is much less likely to be awarded custody.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            The Willingness of Each Parent to Work Together: Both parents will be interviewed by the court to find out their willingness to work with one another. The court does not want to deprive children of time with both parents wherever possible. So, a parent who is more willing to work with the other is important to the court.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Financial Stability: Parents must be able to provide for their children. It can be through a job, investment property, child support, or any other legal means of having the financial resources to care for a child.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
          
             Parent’s Living Accommodations: Every child needs a roof over their head and a place to sleep. If one parent is living in their own home or apartment while the other is living with friends in an apartment, the more stable environment for the child would be the parent living on their own.
            &#xD;
        &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Acts of Abuse or Neglect: If a parent has been abusing the other parent or the child, they are not going to get custody of the child. Abuse and neglect are not tolerated in a court of law and are extremely harmful to the well-being of the child.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            The Majority Caregiver: The court will consider who has been the majority caregiver for the child. That is because they are the ones who have formed a deeper connection with the child and know well what the needs of the child are. It will also help the child feel more normal and minimize disruptions in their life.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;

           Why You Should Hire a Child Custody Lawyer
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/h1&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Every parent loves their child unconditionally. You are always there to care for and love them, no matter what. They are your world. Each parent believes they are the best for their child when it comes to who gets custody. It is a very fierce and emotional topic to discuss. At the end of the day, both parents love the child or children and want what is best for them. However, custody can be a challenging thing. There are many forms of custody, and each parent may want sole custody. The impacts of the court’s decision can have profound impacts on you and your child’s life. So, it is important that you take all the necessary steps to ensure an outcome that is best for your child. That is why you should hire a family lawyer for your child custody case. The benefits include:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Legal Guidance: Family law is complex and nuanced. The average person is unlikely to know their rights and legal procedures that come with a child custody hearing. A lawyer will give you guidance throughout the process, inform you of your rights, and help you in the courtroom. This can help you focus on your child’s needs and not just the case itself.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Courtroom Advice &amp;amp; Representation: Courtrooms are daunting places for most people. There are strict legal standards that must be followed, legal jargon is tossed around like it is everyday language, and a judge will speak to you, and that is scary to most people. An attorney will help you know what is expected of you in court, talk to the judge on your behalf, and explain any legal jargon used in a hearing.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Protect Parental Rights: A child custody lawyer knows parental rights during child custody proceedings. They will do everything in their power to protect your legal rights and interests. They not only will give you legal advice to benefit you, but they will also help you decide what is best for your child.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Peace of Mind: Child custody disputes are stressful situations for both parents and all children involved. You want what is best for you and your child. You want to ensure you do everything you can to make sure your child gets what they need and deserve. Family court can make it seem difficult for you to do that on your own. The help and advice of a child custody attorney will handle the legal side of the case while you focus on your needs and the needs of your child.

      &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
        
            Cheating -
           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
              If you find out your spouse has been unfaithful and decide you want to get a divorce, the first step should be finding a divorce lawyer. Divorce is a tough thing for anyone to endure, so don’t go through it alone. There are plenty of divorce lawyers who would love to help you navigate the divorce process. 
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
        
            Lack of commitment -
           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
              It’s tough to be in a marriage when both parties are not fully committed to one another. Half commitment can lead to divorce because it makes the fully committed person feel like their partner is not as invested in the marriage as they are. 
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
        
            Concern for the safety of your children -
           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
              When there are children involved while you and your spouse are going through a divorce, it is very important to get a divorce lawyer involved. A lawyer will be able to help you fight for what is best for your children. No child should be subjected to ongoing fighting or a home that doesn’t feel safe to them.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
        
            Violence or abuse -
           &#xD;
      &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
              There are more cases of domestic violence and abuse in marriages than people realize. If you are experiencing any form of abuse- verbal, physical, emotional, or financial contact a divorce lawyer right away. Our divorce lawyers will fight to get you the justice you deserve and help you get on track to starting fresh.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Here is a step-by-step guide to filing a personal injury claim:
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Step One: Seek Medical Treatment
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Even if you don’t feel any symptoms immediately after the injury, it’s important to seek medical treatment. While you may not experience any pain, you may feel injured days later. Seeking medical treatment can also help your personal injury case. Without going to the hospital, the insurance company of the person responsible may say that the severity of your issues was minor because since you didn’t seek help immediately.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Step Two: Contacting a Personal Injury Attorney
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           If you endured a major accident, consider turning to an experienced personal injury lawyer to help you recover the cost of your medical treatments and discuss a claim. It’s important to choose a personal injury lawyer that is dedicated and experienced.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Step Three: Making Your Claim and Gathering Information
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            At this stage of the personal injury claim process, you’ll be informing the person liable for your injuries and their insurance provider about your claim. Gathering as much information as possible is crucial for your case. Having medical records, doctor invoices, records of lost wages, photos, and estimates on the damage to your personal property will aid you in your case.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Step Four: Settlement
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            You can demand compensation from the individual responsible or their insurance company before or after filing your personal injury claim. Typically, it is hard to negotiate a personal injury claim as each side has its own idea of what the claim is worth. Your lawyer will help you with offers and counteroffers to reach a suitable claim. If you can’t come up with a reasonable settlement that both parties are comfortable with, you can choose to file a lawsuit to seek the amount of compensation you want.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Step Five: Filing Your Lawsuit
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            If you can’t settle, your case can go to trial. Keep in mind, there is a statute of limitations that limits how long after the accident you can file a personal injury claim. Once you’ve gone over this limit, you are barred from filing the claim and you’ve lost your chance for compensation.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
