We should all avoid speeding tickets, but one that can be highly problematic is "Speeding Construction Zone - Workers Present." Not only can fines be doubled, but the Courts, by statute, can't offer probation or a driver safety course to keep it off your record. There are still defense strategies available, but when you see construction signs the best thing to do is drive at the speed limit posted, even if you don't see workers.

Do you need a General Durable Power of Attorney? It allows an agent you appoint to handle virually any type of transaction you could handle yourself. Usually you want to appoint a spouse (if you have one) to be your primary agent. If you become incapacitated at some point, your agent can take care of your affairs until you recover. Of course you can make the POA effective upon signing, which means your agent can do anything for you that you approve even if you are not incapacitated. Also, it is important to have a good secondary agent appointed, particularly if you and your primary agent are both incapacitated, perhaps by the same accident or common illness. Please contact me is you have any questions. Next time we'll discuss Healthcare POAs. Have a great week!

Have you made a will? Of course you don't need one anytime soon (you hope) but things will go a lot smoother (and less expensive) for your loved ones if you have one. Most folks only need to execute a will one time. We draft them to cover all sorts of contingencies so a will can be effective for decades. They aren't that expensive, so please consider having one drafted if you don't have one. If you do have one, we will review at no charge to see if you need to make changes or if it will still do the trick.
Have a great weekend!

Most people don't considerer hiring an attorney when they receive ticket for a traffic violation. They assume it will be too expensive. They show up on their court date, (for City of San Antonio pay $4.00 to park) and often spend two hours or more (sometimes losing a full day or work) to try to keep a conviction off their driving record.

Welcome everyone! I'll get my IT person (17 y/o daughter) to help me add content to my new page. Currently, about half of my law practice is defending traffic citations in and around San Antonio, although I still handle other criminal matters, family law and probate.
If you or someone you know needs representation for a traffic ticket in this part of the world (or needs representation of any type) let me know. Often I can help and if not, provide the contact information for a lawyer who can.
Thanks so much and tell your friends!
