Recent death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, has become a topic of great controversy. Scalia, being one of the more conservative judges, leaves the bench split between liberals and conservatives. The question is whether Obama should appoint the next judge, almost definitely securing a liberal bench or due to it being an election year waiting until after the election to have a new judge appointed to the seat. Either way the decision could greatly impact rulings on cases in the future and possibly change life as we know it. Read more at http://www.nytimes.com//scalias-death-offers-best-chance-i

Do you know your rights? Kansas City woman was awarded $83 million dollar verdict after being harassed by a debt collection agency. The woman told the company they had, the wrong person, but the collection agency persisted and ultimately harassed this woman breaking the Fair Debt and Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). The company has yet to pay the woman and will face financial troubles if required to pay full amount. Regardless there are laws in place that debt collection age...ncies must follow. Unfortunately majority of debt collection suits result in default judgments against the debtor because the debtor does not respond to the lawsuit or fails to show up in court. The debt buyer will then seek to collect on the judgment by garnishing the debtor’s wages or bank account. Don't fall victim to the any harassment that is unjust and don't ignore the situation, seek help from the services of Garrett Law KC.

Happy Thanksgiving from Garrett Law KC! What are you all thankful for?

Garrett Law KC extends its deepest condolences to all those affected by the attacks in Paris.

The holidays are fast approaching and with the holidays, comes holiday shopping. Therefore here is a tip to consider when doing your shopping this winter. Legal tip of the week: Under the theory of "premises liability", store owners have a responsibility to keep their store safe and free from known hazards that might cause injury to shoppers. Common injuries that occur on store premises include slip and fall accidents, injuries stemming from falling boxes or merchandise, and exposure to toxic chemicals, but may also include injuries due to poor planning and inadequate security, especially on Black Friday.
