TALK TO A NAKED LAWYER

Here’s the pitch:

Everyone always says: “Write what you know,” so I figured that instead of blogging I’d discuss legal issues based upon your questions and comments.

For example: Is there really a One-Free-Bite Rule for your dog?

Or, current events question:

Should the Norton brothers (aged 23 and 26) of the East Bay, who are charged with federal drug trafficking for owning and running the state permitted (Alameda County licensed) Compassionate Collective medical marijuana dispensary, go to prison and their profits be seized?

They were indicted in federal court this week for distributing more than 100 kilos of pot in the club and money laundering drug profits despite having declared and paid state and federal taxes on their profits: FYI: 2004 sales: $70,000; 2005 sales $1.3 million; 2006 sales $21 million; 2007 (1st 6mo.s) $26.3 million. Whadd’ya think?

DISCLAIMER: Free advice is worth exactly what you pay for it and anything I say in this column, while it will always be well intentioned, is specifically not intended for any of you to rely upon in your own life without an actual attorney-client relationship existing between us. Before submitting an inquiry you agree to waive your right to justifiably rely upon anything published here--HELLO—it’s entertainment!

Depending upon your response and my energy level, your questions and my answers may be posted regularly; this might go even smoother if I recorded video responses and my webmaster could downstream them to you. Maybe she could capture your mpeg video questions as well? -- I’ll ask her when she gets out of the shower.
