Maintaining Lien Priority After Obtaining a Judgment is Incredibly Easy but Should not be Overlooked
 After a judgment is entered a judgment creditor typically begins execution efforts in order to collect on the judgment, but sometimes a debtor genuinely has nothing for a judgment creditor to collect. In these cases our firm typically recommends that the judgment creditor should cease execution efforts and come back to the judgment at a later date. When the economy is suffering, like it has been for the last few yesrs, this situation arises with much more frequency.

But, Your Honor, I am Only Local Counsel! |
 Local Counsel can mean many things, just as "Of Counsel" has no single definition. Sometimes, when managing a case in a distant or foreign jurisdiction, client's chosen counsel will engage a local lawyer to assist in making sure that the matter proceeds in accordance with local practice and rules. This is generally done with direct client involvement, permission and agreement.

For the Public's Sake, The Port Authority Must File Bankruptcy
 Chapter 9 of the United States Bankruptcy Code allows a municipality (or government-created entity) to reorganize its debts and restructure its contractual relationships. Exercised appropriately, these powerful tools would allow the Port Authority of Allegheny County to stave off service cuts, restructure its business model and emerge a stronger and more streamlined entity.
