The way law enforcement charges for marijuana possession is changing. With big movements toward legalization – Colorado and Washington now permit marijuana for recreational use – the decriminalization of marijuana possession has begun.
According to an article from Time, Washington D.C.’s City Council recently voted to scale back the penalties for possessing up to one ounce of marijuana. This is a big move from our nation’s capital and, despite wariness from the federal government, many other states are making the same move. [Read more…]

With this in mind, I thought I should pass on the newest changes to speed limits in Olive Branch, Mississippi.
Residents and commuters in Olive Branch are likely noticing that many limits have been lowered from twenty-five to twenty miles per hour, and others from thirty to twenty-five.
According to a recent DeSoto Times-Tribune article and City Engineer Steve Bigelow, the reduced speed limits are not part of an organized program. [Read more…]
As an employee in the Northern Mississippi or Memphis area, you trust your employer to provide a safe and friendly working environment in which you can thrive and be successful.
Sadly, not all employers take the steps necessary to secure a safe workplace, putting the wellbeing of their employees behind production and profits.
An example of this contemptible employer practice hit Mississippi very recently.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration recently cited a Greenwood, Mississippi company for twenty-five health and safety violations following injuries to a worker earlier in 2013. [Read more…]

These are class action suits based upon claims made by patients and patients’ families relating to cardiac failure after receiving dialysis at various Fresenius dialysis clinics.
As an experienced medical malpractice attorney in Southaven, Mississippi serving Northern Mississippi and the Memphis metro area, I thought I’d address these claims and help explain what is going on.
To best explain the situation, I’ll use the help of an article from Allnurses.com.
At the end of a four-day conference in 2009, it was found that many cardiac deaths, the number one cause of death for dialysis patients, were not caused buy atherosclerotic disease but rather by uremic cardiomyopathy. [Read more…]
