Last month Defense Secretary Robert Gates lifted the complete ban on video and photos of the return of fallen troops.
It is now the choice of the families.
My husband, Harold Stanley Grossman, was buried in Arlington last November with full military honors. Since then I have met many military families at the graves of their loved ones. I now know the true meaning of the word bravery!

 Most people I know only consult with a personal injury attorney after they are injured.
Sometimes they simply call somebody that they see an ad for on a bus bench or on television ad during Oprah.
Often this is the first time they have ever met a attorney, much less hired one. It is a very tough decision that
is made more difficult if you are desperate or hurt. People end up retaining someone they do not know who may be unable or unqualified to help them.
I think people should retain a qualified personal injury attorney before they ever need one and hope they never do.
This month's issue will explain why and how to hire a personal injury attorney BEFORE you are in an accident as well as some tips to make sure that if you do have to make a claim you get your full measure of justice.
Our firm is also representing the victims of Chinese Drywall claims against the manufacturer, builders and homeowners. Find out more about this silent but dangerous defective product that is found in homes thoughout Florida and the United States. |

Five Reasons Why You Should Hire a Personal Injury Attorney Before You Need One |
|
1. Time: If you are badly injured, there may not be an opportunity to interview or research who might be the right lawyer for your case. Personally meeting with a lawyer to discuss their qualifications and experience in handling personal injury cases will help you make the right decision when the time comes.
2. Insurance: Have your lawyer review your insurance coverage to make sure you and your family are adequately protected before you are in an accident. Many times, catastrophically injured people are unable to get the full compensation for their injuries, lost wages or medical bills simply because there is not enough insurance coverage. Many erroneously believe they have "full coverage" only to find they have the minimum coverage which provides little or no compensation.
3. Wills: Living wills and Durable Powers of Attorney are essential documents that many people never obtain, leaving the most important decisions regarding life and death for those who may not act in accordance with your wishes. Your new personal injury attorney can make sure that these documents are properly prepared.
4. Accident: Knowing what to do and not to do after you have been involved in an accident can make the difference in winning or losing a case. Such as obtaining a police report, taking photos of the scene and getting witnesses' names and numbers is often impossible after time has passed. We provide all our clients with a card detailing what do if you are involved in a car accident. You can download and print a copy by clicking here.
5. Relationship: Injury avoidance is easier than trying to get compensation once it happens. Having an on-going dialog with your own personal injury attorney should help keep you ahead of the curve on the latest information regarding product recalls, changes in the laws, advances in safety and the inside scoop on your doctors. |

Chinese Drywall Claims |
The Aronfeld Team is currently representing numerous homeowners throughout Florida who have contaminated drywall imported from China installed in their homes.
Our investigation is headed by attorney Bruce Shemrock who has extensive experience and knowledge in the areas of construction litigation and product liability . According to Bruce, several factors indicate the presence of contaminated drywall imported from China. Homeowners have reported the following symptoms which may be related to the presence of contaminated drywall:
· "Rotten Egg" smells in their homes
· Corrosion of Heating, Ventilation & Cooling coils
· Corrosion of Electrical wires and/or pipes
· Corrosion of Metal items inside the homes
· Shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches, fatigue, insomnia, eye irritations, coughing and respiratory difficulties
Drywall imported from China between 2001 and 2007 was often manufactured using waste products from coal plants. (Click Here for Facts). Our experts believe that Chinese drywall is emitting harmful gases including Hydrogen Sulfide, Carbonyl Sulfide, Sulfur Dioxide and Carbon Disulfide.
If you suspect that you are living in a home that has been built with Chinese Drywall and suffer any of the symptoms, please contact our office for a confidential and free consultation regarding your legal rights. |

Aronfeld Team Accomplishments |
Bruce Shemrock resolved a minor car accident case for our client for $75,000 shortly after he filed suit. He worked exclusively with our paralegal Erica Rosete in obtaining this settlement.
He also resolved one of the cases we inherited from the Estate of Allan Berkman for a confidential amount before suit was filed. In this case he was assisted by our paralegal Luisa Victoria Paulino. Both cases were resolved without the need for trial, saving our clients considerable time and money.
Lennon Kraus successfully completed the Florida Bar's Practicing with Professionalism Seminar and is busy preparing for several trials we have scheduled for this month.
Lennon settled a case this month against Publix Supermarkets for a confidential amount; Victoria was the paralegal assigned to the case. | |
