Faye's Story Redux

Back in March, I told the story of my old client Faye in three parts:  Part One, Part Two, and Part Three.

The critical moment in Faye's story was when at the eleventh hour on the eve of the bench trial on the issue of whether or not Faye's brothers would be heirs of their mother's intestate estate, Faye and the private investigator both located copies of the Final Judgment of Adoption.  When we disclosed to the brothers' attorney that we had located the document, the brothers dropped their claim.  So we never had to go to court and prove the fact of the brothers' adoption, which was essential to Faye's case.

My next post will go through how I had planned to get the key pieces of evidence admitted into evidence at the bench trial.

Hello World!

Hello world! At the advice of my web guru, I have started this blog in an act of shameless self promotion. With that disclaimer out of the way, I am looking forward to blogging about a variety of legal issues, and as the name of this blog implies, shoes.

Why shoes? Because I love them. Shoes are fantastic. Who doesn't love a pair of well made shoes? If your feet are not happy, is the rest of you ever truly content? I say no. Fair warning: my love of shoes is surpassed only by my love of a good handbag. Expect discussion of purses as well.

Along with purses and shoes, I'll probably occasionally chime in on topics on which I have some personal experience: owning your own business and motherhood.

Last but not least, I plan to blog about the law in three main areas:

1.Wills, trusts, and estate tax;
2.Probate and probate litigation; and
3.Trade secrets, noncompetition agreements, and business torts.

So, welcome to my blog! Follow it, love it, join it and comment. Above all, enjoy. You can also follow me on Twitter @LawOnHighHeels as well if you are into that kind of thing.
