Handling A Criminal Record At Trial Revealed By A Dallas Criminal Defense Lawyer

Dallas, TX, USA, 02/28/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Many people who are accused of a crime wonder how their criminal record, or lack of it, will affect their case. Normally, your criminal history does not affect whether you are guilty or not guilty of a crime with which you have been charged. Contrary to some people’s belief, you do not generally get one free crime before you can be found guilty, adds John Helms Dallas criminal defense lawyer.

For obvious reasons, though, your criminal history can have a significant effect on the punishment you receive if you are found guilty.  If you have lived for a long while with a clean record, you are much more likely to get a lighter sentence if the crime is not too serious. This is because the justice system sees your conduct as not typical of your character so that you do not need a more serious punishment to stop you from committing more crime or to keep you away from society. On the other hand, adds criminal defense attorney Helms, “if you have a lengthy criminal record, the punishment you received in the past obviously was not enough to convince you to stop committing crime, you have been given chances before, and the justice system believes you will probably commit more crime later, so you need to be imprisoned to protect society. “

So, one way your record can affect your case is the plea bargain offer you receive from the prosecutor. You can expect to get a better offer if you have a clean record than one a mile long.

Maybe the most important way in which your criminal record can affect your case, though, is that it can sometimes determine whether or not you should testify at trial. Under the rules of evidence in most jurisdictions, with certain exceptions, a person’s criminal history is not admissible at trial. This means that the jury is not allowed to hear that you have been convicted of crimes in the past. The law considers this not relevant enough to whether a defendant committed the crime charged. It is also unfair to the defendant because a jury would be much more likely to think a person committed a crime if he or she has committed other crimes in the past.

But there is a BIG EXCEPTION. If you testify at trial, the government can generally tell the jury that you have been convicted of crimes in the past. This is because the law considers past convictions relevant to your credibility as a witness. So, if you hit the witness stand, the jury may be able to hear about your criminal record.

In some criminal cases, this can make a huge difference. There are many cases in which the only person who can effectively explain the defendant’s side of the story is the defendant. But if the defendant has a criminal record, and the jury would hear about it, putting the defendant on the witness stand could be a disaster. On the other hand, if the defendant exercises his or her right not to have to testify, it may be extremely difficult to explain the defendant’s version of the facts because no one else could testify about that. Criminal defense lawyers can make arguments to the jury, but they are not allowed to make an argument unless there is evidence to support it. A defense attorney can raise questions about the government’s evidence, or lack thereof, but defense attorneys cannot simply make up facts.

The rules of evidence put limits on the types of crimes about which the jury can be told and whether the jury can hear about crimes that were too long ago. In Texas, and in federal court, Rule 609 of the Texas and Federal Rules of Evidence has a general limit of crimes more than ten years ago. The rules are complicated, though, and there are exceptions.

Whether a defendant should testify is one of the most important, and sometimes the most difficult, decisions at trial. The fact that a defendant has a clean record does not mean the defendant should testify, and a criminal record does not mean the defendant should not. You should have an experienced trial lawyer who is an expert on the rules of evidence to advise you. I always start thinking about whether my client can and should testify way before trial, because this factors into how I evaluate my client’s chances at trial.

I have had lots of success planning ahead and telling my client’s story through other witnesses so that my client would not have to testify. I have also had a lot of success putting my clients on the stand. Either way, the decision about whether or not to testify is crucial, and you should get the best legal advice you can before deciding.

Boca Nursing Home Neglect Lawyer Joe Osborne Says Bed Bugs Pose A Major Threat

Boca Raton, FL, USA, 02/28/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Bed bugs in a nursing home may be a sign of more serious problems warns Boca nursing home neglect lawyer Joe Osborne.

Many of us chose to live in Florida because it’s such a great place to live with a wonderful climate that makes our lives that much more pleasant. The same might be said of a new strain of bed bugs that may be attacking South Florida nursing home residents says Boca nursing home neglect lawyer Joe Osborne.

A strain of bed bug has returned to Florida after sixty years, capable of spreading at twice the rate of other bed bugs, reports WBBH1. This tropical bed bug, which lays more eggs than other types of bed bugs, hasn’t been seen in the state since the 1940’s.

While that’s bad news for everyone, it’s especially bad news for residents of poorly managed nursing homes who can’t handle the problem. In May of last year a Cape Coral nursing home battled an infestation, according to WBBH 2. A North Carolina nursing home had its license temporarily suspended due to a bed bug infestation in 2012, according to WECT3. An infestation must be handled by professionals and only heat (temperatures over 111 degrees) and pesticides can kill them.

Tropical bed bugs feed on human blood and can leave victims with blistery reactions, itchiness and, in severe cases, anxiety and depression. If you’re in a nursing home or hospital, the last thing you want to be dealing with is bedbugs but exterminators saying they’re getting more and more calls for bedbug infestations in nursing homes, hospitals and doctor’s offices.

Almost 60% of pest control professionals have found bedbugs in nursing homes in 2014, according to an industry survey, up from 46% in 2013, reports Health News Florida. Bed bugs are also increasingly found in hospitals and doctors’ offices. Contributing to the problem, states Boca nursing home neglect attorney Osborne:

Pesticides may harm residents and staff so normally they aren’t used in nursing homes.

All the linens, beds and personal effects of residents in affected areas must be washed.

These personal effects may bring bed bugs with them into the facilities.

Hospitals have a lower rate of bed bug problems (36% of professionals reported bed bugs in hospitals, nearly half of the number reporting them in nursing homes) and they’re normally confined to smaller areas.

Hospital cleaning staff, nurses and doctors are vigilant about the problem. If there are bedbugs they’re normally quickly noticed.

Hospitals are normally better lit and better cleaned making it harder for bed bugs to survive and easier to see those that survive.

Argentum, an association of assisted living facilities, has these suggestions for preventing and addressing bed bug infestations:

Staff must be trained to recognize the signs of bed bugs.

Housekeeping and maintenance staff must conduct regular inspections for signs of bed bugs.

Pest management professionals should be notified of signs of bed bugs so they can positively identify the pest and recommend a course of treatment.

If bed bugs are identified a nursing home should be prepared to follow the action and treatment protocols developed with the pest management professional’s recommendations.

If a nursing home is having problems with bed bugs it may be the tip of the iceberg. It can be a sign that staff is ignoring the health and suffering of residents, the facility is not being kept clean enough and management may not want to spend money to help residents.

If you or your loved one is suffering neglect at a South Florida nursing home it’s due to the negligent care by the facility and its employees. To learn more about your legal rights contact Boca nursing home neglect lawyer Joe Osborne at (561) 800-4011 or fill out this online contact form. You can discuss your case, how the law may apply and your best legal options to protect your rights and obtain compensation for your injuries.

Texas Truck Accident Lawyer Discusses Study Showing Link Between Lower Speeds And Fewer Truck Crashes

Dallas, 02/28/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Drive on any highway, and you’re likely to encounter road hogs whizzing past you at hair-raising speeds. When it’s a semi-truck barreling down the highway, witnessing a large truck moving at a high rate of speed can be downright terrifying. Considering a semi-truck can weigh 80,000 pounds compared to the average 4,000 pounds of a typical vehicle, it’s quite normal to feel intimidated by a tractor-trailer on the highway — especially if it’s driving too fast.

It’s no wonder, then, that studies have been conducted to determine if reducing speed limits for large trucks could have an impact on the number of serious and fatal crashes on American highways.

Study Says Reduced Speeds Could Save Lives

According to a 2012 joint study conducted by the Virginia Tech University Transportation Institute and the American Transportation Research Institute, lower speed limits would mean fewer truck crashes on U.S. highways.

The comprehensive study examined data from 20 different trucking fleets,15,000 accidents, and 138,000 tractor-trailers.

The results of the study showed that lower speed limits result in fewer crashes, less serious injuries when crashes do occur, and an increase in overall traffic safety.

Now, the study is being used by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to support a proposed rule that would require Speed Limiters on tractor-trailers. If Speed Limiters become mandatory on trucks, tractor-trailers will no longer be capable of driving faster than 68 miles per hour.

Other Benefits of Speed Limiters

Texas injury accident lawyer Amy Witherite explains, “According to the FMCSA, Speed Limiters would also save an estimated $1.1 billion in fuel costs every year, as they would stop truck drivers from driving at speeds known to be inefficient in terms of fuel-savings.”

If the proposed rule is put into place, any commercial truck weighing more than 26,001 pounds would be required to be equipped with a Speed Limiter device. The FMCSA is considering a number of speed limits besides 68 miles per hour. Other contenders for the Speed Limiter maximum speed include 60 and 65 miles per hour.

The public comment period for the proposed rule closed in December 2016, and the FMCSA has not announced if the rule will go forward. According to safety experts, the future of the rule could also be impacted by the new presidential administration, which has indicated it will make an effort to decrease federal regulation.

If you have been injured in a semi-truck accident, it’s important to protect your rights. Don’t wait to speak to an attorney. Call a Texas truck accident lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your case.

Dallas Criminal Defense Lawyer Weighs In On The Legality Of Border Searches

Dallas, TX, USA, 02/21/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

The Trump Administration has announced that it wants to increase security at our borders. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents may therefore become more aggressive in searching people and things that cross the border. So what are the limits on what ICE agents can do, and what can you do if your rights are violated? asks John Helms Dallas criminal defense lawyer.

The main limit on ICE’s ability to conduct searches is the 4th Amendment to the United States Constitution. The 4th Amendment guarantees us protection against “unreasonable searches and seizures.” The Constitution does not define “unreasonable,” though, so the courts have had to try to sort this out.

Generally, in each case, the courts consider: (1) the government interest at stake; (2) the degree of privacy that is invaded; and (3) how effective the search or seizure would be in promoting the government interest. There is no formula, though, for how to use these criteria to strike the right balance between reasonable and unreasonable.

Normally, the 4th Amendment prevents the police from pulling over a motorist unless the officer has “reasonable suspicion” that the person is or has just committed a crime. “Reasonable suspicion” is a low standard, but it requires the police officer to know specific facts that support at least a reasonable person in suspecting that the person is or has committed a crime. These are not legal terms, but I would describe anything less than reasonable suspicion as a “hunch” or a “guess.”

On the other hand, for the police to search your house, they generally need “probable cause” to believe that the house has evidence of, or the fruits of, a specific crime. They also generally have to get a search warrant, which means convincing a judge that there is probable cause. “Probable cause” is more than reasonable suspicion.

At the border, though, the government has much more leeway under the 4th Amendment. This is because the government has a very strong interest in controlling its borders and preventing illegal things and dangerous people from coming into the country. After all, if something or someone gets past the border, it becomes very hard to prevent harm from occurring. Examples of things the government tries to stop at the border include plants with diseases that could harm crops in the U.S., people or animals that have diseases that could spread in the U.S., animals that are not native to the U.S. that could spread and cause harm because they have no natural predators here, and, of course, illegal drugs.

Also, keep in mind that the “border” includes areas near the actual border, as well as airports where international flights arrive, even if they are far from the actual border. I had a case recently, for example, in which customs agents searched my client’s cell phone after he arrived at the DFW airport on a flight from Mexico. The rules for border searches applied to that case.

Because of the government’s need to protect the borders, our courts have consistently held that government agents can conduct “routine searches” of people and property at the border without even having “reasonable suspicion,” which is what a police officer would normally need to pull a car over. For example, in a case called United States v. Flores-Montano, the Supreme Court held that the government did not even need reasonable suspicion in order to detain and remove the gas tank of a car that was crossing the border. Agents had noticed that the gas tank did not sound hollow when they inspected the underside of the car, so they removed the gas tank and found drugs hidden inside. The Supreme Court said there was nothing wrong with this even though the rules would have been different away from the border.

The rules for searches of people are somewhat different than the rules for searches of property, like cars or purses. Some very intrusive searches of people, like strip searches or body cavity searches, require at least “reasonable suspicion” at the border, even though they might require the higher standard of probable cause and a search warrant away from the border.

To learn more about search warrants read Dallas Drug Trafficking Lawyer On How to Get a Search Warrant Thrown Out

A good example of this is a Supreme Court case called United States v. Montoya de Hernandez. In that case, agents believed that a woman was smuggling drugs inside her body based on her travel pattern of going into the United States and returning very soon after, her statements that she did not have any place she planned to stay or anyone she was meeting, and the feel and appearance of her stomach when she was patted down.  She was detained and given a rectal exam by medical personnel. A balloon was found filled with cocaine. She was detained for over four days, and 88 balloons filled with cocaine passed out of her system. This would have required a search warrant away from the border, but the Supreme Court said that the agents had reasonable suspicion, and that was enough.

A difficult and unsettled issue involves searches of smart phones and computers. The government has taken the position that these are no different than containers that can be searched like a car, without even reasonable suspicion. But at least one federal appeals court and two federal trial court judges have concluded that these devices are different because they can contain enormous amounts of information that can be extremely private. Many people’s entire personal lives can be easily revealed through the contents of their cell phones or computers.

These three courts have basically said that agents can turn on and manually look through someone’s cell phone or computer when they cross the border. This is what happened to my client who arrived on a flight from Mexico. According to these courts, though, the government must at least have reasonable suspicion to take the device and do a forensic examination on it. A forensic examination involves using software to search for hidden or deleted files or images or to do other types of sophisticated searches that cannot be done manually. The United States Supreme Court has not ruled on this issue, so it remains undecided.

If the government does a search, even at the border, that violates the 4th Amendment, the evidence they find usually cannot be used in court. This means that the government probably will not be able to get a criminal conviction. A criminal defense lawyer will file a motion to “suppress” the evidence that the government found illegally, and a judge will rule on it.  If the judge grants the motion, the case is probably over.

In extreme cases, a person who is subjected to a highly intrusive search, like a body cavity search, may be able to sue the government for damages.

If you or a loved one has been charged with a crime based on evidence found during a search at the border (or an airport after an international flight), you should consult an experienced and skilled criminal defense lawyer in order to protect your rights. In the case I mentioned, for example, I was able to get the case dismissed within a few days by reviewing the facts thoroughly and talking to the prosecutor. The law in this area is very complicated and unsettled, so it is critical to hire a lawyer who really knows what they are doing in the area of border searches.

How to Prevent Lackluster Air Quality in Your Commercial Space

Riverdale, NJ, 02/21/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

As a business owner, you will have to do all you can to ensure your customers and employees stay safe. Air pollution is something you probably don’t think about on a regular basis. Neglecting to consider the quality of the air in your commercial building can cause serious health issues for anyone who breathes in this air. There are a variety of things that can lead to the air in a commercial space being polluted. It is your job to work with professionals in the air purification industry to figure out what can be done to keep the quality of the oxygen in your building at peak condition.

If your business works with chemicals in confined quarters, then the quality of the air in your workspace can be compromised. Even something as simple as not changing out the air filter for your commercial HVAC system can lead to pollen and other allergens making their way into your air supply. Read below to find out about air pollution, what causes it and what you can do to reduce the amount of harmful allergens and chemicals in the air supply at your place of business.

Symptoms You May Notice When Dealing with Air Pollution

The main thing you need to be concerned with when trying to combat air pollution is the warning signs indicating there is a problem. By learning these warning signs, you will be able to take action when a problem is discovered. Below are some of the symptoms you may notice when an air pollution problem is brewing in your commercial building.

Constant wheezing
Repeated sneezing
Frequents congestion issues
Extreme fatigue
Watery or dry eyes
Itching skin

The fact is that the human body needs quality oxygen to operate as intended. Rather than ignoring these types of warning signs, you will need to figure out what needs to happen to rid the air supply in your commercial business of pollutants.

Air Pollutants Are a Lot More Common Than You Think

Among the biggest mistakes most people make when it comes to air pollution is thinking their business is immune to air quality problems. Most people have this idea that air pollution is reserved for large cities covered in smog. The fact of the matter is many of the products used by a small business on a regular day contain a variety of pollutants. There are a number of common products and substances that can cause air pollution like:

Chemicals used to clean a commercial building
Various types of mold
Air fresheners
Perfumes and deodorants
Pest control chemicals
Asbestos and formaldehyde
Bacteria and viruses

As you can see, the substances that can cause air pollution are a lot more common than you think. Reducing or eliminating these products or substances from your workplace is the first step in reducing the chance of air pollution. 

How to Keep the Air in Your Building Clean

Now that you know the hazards that exist in regards to air pollution, you are ready to learn about how to combat these air quality problems. The first line of defense you have when trying to fight air pollution are the various air filters you have in place. As the professionals at Camfil say, “Air filters are physically simple but technically complex devices.” Here is some information about a few of the different types of air filters and the benefits they can offer.

HEPA Filters- Among the most common and effective type of air filter out there is the High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. These types of filters are designed remove more than 99% of the pollen, mold and bacteria that make their way into a building’s air supply. There are also ULPA (Ultra Low Penetration Air) filters on the market designed to remove 99.9995% of the pollutants that make their way into the air supply in a building.
HVAC Filters- These are filters that have particle removal efficiencies consistent with guidelines as published by the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). They can be very effective at removing common dusts, molds, bacteria, allergens and other contaminants that present health hazards to building occupants.
Carbon Filters- If your company deals with a lot of harmful gases and aerosol pollutants, then a carbon filter is what you need. Generally, these types of filters are added in with the HVAC filters to enhance the effectiveness they have. Trying to use these types of filters to remove particle type pollutants will be ineffective, which is why using them in conjunction with other types of filters is wise.

If you are in need of quality air filters for your business, then call on the team at Camfil for help. When contacting us, you will be able to get guidance on what type of filters can best meet your needs.

Lawyer Amy Witherite Discusses Trump Order to Delay New Driver Training Rule

Dallas, 02/28/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

On January 20, 2017, President Trump issued a memorandum requiring the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to delay implementation of new training rules for truck drivers.

Minimum Training Requirements for Entry-Level Commercial Vehicle Operators

The new rule, which was set to go into effect on February 6, is known as the Minimum Training Requirements for Entry-Level Commercial Vehicle Operators rule and was published in the Federal Register on December 8, 2016.

Because the new administration has directed all federal agencies outside the military to conduct a hiring freeze, the FMCSA has decided to delay moving forward with the new rule until March 21, 2017.

However, the FMCSA may be forced to further delay putting the new driver training rule into effect pending future orders from the White House.

What the New Driver Training Rule Says

Once it goes into effect, the new truck driver training rule will require specific classroom instruction for beginner truck drivers, as well as on-the-road training. However, safety advocates have been critical of the rule, which does not require any specific amount of time for new commercial drivers to spend behind the wheel before hitting the road as a professional. Previously, proponents of set driving training times had proposed a minimum of 30 road hours before a trucker could be permitted to drive independently.

The new rule also creates a national registry of trainers certified to provide new commercial driver education and instruction, and truck drivers will only be authorized to receive training from a certified trainer.

Accident Attorney Amy Witherite explains, “The delay in the implementation of the new driver training rule doesn’t necessarily mean this rule won’t go into effect eventually. According to reports, the FMCSA is being cautious by holding off on putting the rule in place, as it has been told it can’t hire any new personnel for 60 days following the issuance of the January 20 order from the White House.”

Although the current status of many federal programs and rules is uncertain as the new administration gets settled and begins implementing new policies, safety experts and those interested in keeping our roads safe will be keeping a close eye on both new driver training for truckers and other policies that could impact the country’s motorists.

If you have been injured in a truck accident or any type of crash involving a commercial vehicle, get in touch with an Atlanta truck accident lawyer as soon as possible.

Vesper Holdings Enters Ranks Of 10 Largest Owners Of Student Housing In U.S.

New York City, New York, 02/28/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Vesper Holdings (“Vesper”), a privately-held real estate investment firm based in New York City, is pleased to announce that it is now ranked as one of the nation’s top 10 largest student housing owners by Student Housing Business – the industry’s leading trade publication.

Founded by New York City real estate veterans, Elliot J. Tamir and Isaac J. Sitt, Vesper Holdings launched a fund in 2010 dedicated to assembling a portfolio of high-quality multifamily properties located in close proximity to large public university campuses. Over the past 5 years, Vesper Holdings has been the nation’s seventh most active student housing investor and third most active private company, according to Real Capital Analytics. Since 2010, Vesper has amassed a portfolio consisting of 39 properties with an aggregate value of over $1 billion.

With the acquisition of approximately $400 million in student housing properties during the past 18 months alone, Vesper Holdings entered the ranks of the top 10 largest owners of student housing in the United States. Vesper’s recent acquisitions include the purchase of an eight-property portfolio that ranked among the 10 largest student housing transactions ever completed in the United States.

“We take great pride in the fact that we have grown steadily without compromising our strong track-record of consistently delivering superior risk-adjusted returns to our investors,” commented Elliot J. Tamir, co-founder and principal of Vesper Holdings. “Our growth can be attributed to unparalleled access to off-market deals combined with the resources necessary to capitalize on any real estate investment regardless of size or complexity” added Isaac J. Sitt, Vesper’s co-founder and principal.

Vesper Holdings’ portfolio is managed by Campus Life & Style (CLS), Vesper’s wholly-owned property management subsidiary. CLS is led by its Chief Investment Officer, Jim Sholders, who previously served as American Campus Communities’ Senior Vice President of Operations for 10 years and was responsible for all aspects of operating the world’s largest student housing portfolio.

Real Estate Firm Aims To Purchase 50 Properties In Indianapolis Area By May 1st

Indianapolis, IN, USA, 02/27/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Christopher Ellyn Homes, a real estate company based in Indianapolis, announced it needs to acquire 50 properties (residential, commercial, apartments, houses, or lots) by May 1, 2017. The real estate provider is willing to make cash offers within 24 hours of seeing the property.

Sellers are assured of a fair price and quick payment release regardless of the current condition of their homes.

Ryan Dossey, a licensed real estate broker and currently handling the company’s PR and networking functions, said Christopher Ellyn Homes is willing to pay in cash if the seller signifies his or her intentions to close the deal. “Our goal is to prevent the property owner from getting more frustrated with their unwanted property,” Ryan added.

There are several reasons why property owners want to put their homes up for sale. Some of these are costly repairs, retirement, downsizing, bad tenants, vacant houses, avoid foreclosure, divorce, liens, and relocation.

Christopher Ellyn Homes is aware of these issues confronting homeowners. However, selling through realtors is quite expensive and takes a long time. The market price may be higher, but most people find out it is not worth the effort, cost, and time. Owners need to fix the entire structure (interiors and exteriors), wait for months while looking for possible buyers, and pay out a certain commission to the agent.

“A better option is Christopher Ellyn Homes because we buy the property directly from the owner,” Ryan explained.

In other words, owners are not required to make repairs or wait since the company will buy and pay immediately. They do not charge any administrative fees or ask for commissions from the seller.

The process is very straightforward. Property owners simply have to fill in a short form at the website of Christopher Ellyn Homes (http://www.christopherellynhomes.com/we-buy-houses-indianapolis/) and a representative from the company will get back to the seller within 24 hours. The company provides a reasonable and formally written, no-obligation offer. Potential sellers can go through the proposal before signing any contract.

All the client has to do is to inform Christopher Ellyn Homes when the money is needed. Funds are available and closing the deal can be done in less than seven days sometimes. This is a big relief for beleaguered property owners.

The company moves fast in reviewing documentation and checking the property if it meets their criteria. There are times when inspections are finished in just one day. Likewise, there is no red tape or unnecessary delays since the company will make payments right away if they like the property.
