Attorneys, Addiction, Mental Health, and Malpractice

On July 13, 2013, Luzerne County attorney Anthony J. Moses was stopped by police in Kingston after allegedly driving with his high-beams on and failing to use his turn signal. Police reported the car did not have a registration sticker. Moses avoided eye contact and his hands were shaking uncontrollably. The police saw what they believed was a heroin baggie, and asked Moses and his passenger to exit the vehicle. According to the police, Moses said he was unaware of the bag and did not use heroin. The passenger, Kacie Bruno, claimed the baggie was hers, and was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.

Speculative Settlements and Legal Malpractice Actions

Plaintiffs in legal malpractice actions frequently assert that negligence by their lawyer caused the plaintiff to lose an opportunity to settle an underlying action. The Pennsylvania Superior Court has repeatedly stated it "will not permit legal malpractice actions based upon speculations regarding settlement negotiations," as in McCartney v. Dunn & Connor, 386 Pa. Super. 563, 563 A.2d 525 (Pa. Super. 1989), citing to Mariscotti v. Tinari, 335 Pa. Super., 599, 485 A.2d 56, 58 (Pa. Super. 1984).

Commentary: Teen's Case Not About 'Lawyer-Assisted Suicide'

Cassandra C's case was, without a doubt, polarizing. On more than one occasion during the last few months, I have found myself in social settings or following discussions on Facebook where people staked out strong, contrary positions on whether a 17-year-old should be allowed to refuse lifesaving medical care.
