"Your Source for Everything Legal"

As for me, I have a BA in Philosophy and Spanish from Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texas.  There, I was highly active on the Moot Court Team and was a National Semi-Finalist as well as Top Oralist at Texas Tech Law and Texas Weslyan Law.  I received a scholarship to attend Creighton Law in Omaha, Nebraska where I received my JD with a specialist in E-Commerce and Technology Contracts.  From there, I worked a few years in an IP law firm in California before heading back to Texas to work as a Trial Technology Specialist.  The Love them or Legal website is a side project I am working on along with Winsystems Pro.  Please, let me know what you think of the site, you can hit 'Contact Me' for any feeback, suggestions or questions as well as visiting the forums and posting there.  I hope you enjoy the site and I wish you good luck in your legal endeavors.

I began working on the Love them or Legal website for a variety or reasons. Throughout my time since graduation, I have been assisting friends and family with various legal issues; divorces being the most common. In my experience, most people searching the internet or asking friends about divorce information are involved in mutual divorces--or rather uncontested divorces. Being unconstested, one would think there would be an easy, streamlined (and CHEAP) way of filling out a few forms, pay the filing fee and be done with things.  The marriage licensed was mutual agreed upon and thereby easy to file and obtain, so why shouldn't the divorce be equal.

In listening to friends and family's talk about their situation, the most common complaint was that there were not a lot of information available on the internet.  Well, let me rephrase that, there were not a lot of FREE information available.  And information that is available, is scattered about, or pertains to different states, spammed advertisements, or are teasers that ultimately lead to the person shelling out money.  Some websites contain misleading or antiquated information.

Since lawschool, I have been collecting information, books, articles, statutes and other legal information to deal with various problems.  I quickly needed some type of organization or database to easily obtain or store information.  I also wanted a system online so I could access the information remotely or be able to direct a client to a specific location.  Creating a website became the most obvious choice.

The next choice was to decide whether to make the site public or private. Publicly, would allow anybody, including competing attorneys to access information in their own endeverous.  But also allow people looking for information could also contribute their own experiences.  The experiences surrounding a legal circumstance adds and is as equally important to knowing the law then the statute itself.  A statute in downtown Dallas, Texas may be interpreted or used differently than a 70 year old farmer-judge who only works on Tuesdays in Pecos, Texas. That information could only be obtained by experience and not from the statute or any Lexis-Nexis network.
