Hey everyone! Today is my birthday and I am going to be somewhat selfish by asking you all for something. I signed up for Base 2 Space and will be climbing (probably crawling) the Space Needle stairs on October 3rd in an effort to raise money for Fred Hutch. Unfortunately, cancer has stricken my family on more than one occasion. Fortunately, those who were affected were able to beat cancer thanks in part to the work that the Hutch is doing. 100% of all donations go to the Hutch and they are partially tax deductible. With all of that being said, do me a birthday solid and donate by clicking the link to my donation page below. Plus, for the rest of today my company, Meyler Legal, PLLC, will be matching all donations that are made up to $500.00. So, whether it's $5 or $500, help me and the Hutch kick cancer's ass.

Welcome to my fundraising page! Help me support Fred Hutch by making a donation. The process is fast, easy, and secure. I truly appreciate any support you can provide. It will benefit a great cause. If you can't make a donation at this poin

Legal disputes are being arbitrated more and more often these days. Sometimes it takes a while for the law to catch up to the issues that arise from change. On July 28, 2013, Washington State House Bill 1065 will become effective, clarifying that, "A claim sought to be arbitrated [under the Washington Uniform Arbitration Act] is subject to the same limitations of time for the commencement of action as if the claim has been asserted in a court."

The Supreme Court of the U.S. of A. made some very important and interesting rulings today.

SCOTUS struck down a key provision in DOMA, ruling that the federal government can't deny certain benefits to same-sex couples in states where same-sex marriage is legal. Still up in the air is: a) what happens if a same-sex couple marries in a state where it is legal and then moves to a state where it isn't?, and b) how the fed gov't is going to implement laws that will differ from state to state?

SCOTUS also ruled that a private party had no standing to challenge a Ninth Circuit ruling that California's Prop 8 was unconstitutional, allowing same-sex marriage in California to resume. Prop 8 was a voter approved amendment to California's Constitution that sought to define marriage as being between a man and a woman. The ruling is based on procedural grounds; SCOTUS did not make any substantive ruling about the constitutionality of Prop 8

What do you think about the rulings?

I wouldn't call this a "new trend." In fact, I think it happens far more frequently than some may think. I have drafted covenants and/or negative easements for quite a few clients for the purpose of protecting the view that they enjoy from their property from being wiped out by development on a neighboring property. Although it can be expensive up front to pay a neighbor to restrict development on their property, just imagine the diminished value of your property if that neighbor was to develop! Plus...who doesn't like a nice view?

The latest trend in Seattle's real estate market has homeowners looking up for some quick cash. Depending on where you live, the air above your house could be worth a lot of money.
