What steps can a person charged with a crime take to identify the ability of their defense attorney?

When the time comes to decide who to hire to defend your criminal case, there are a lot of factors to be taken into consideration. First, you want to find someone with experience in dealing with criminal legal circumstances like yours. Keep in mind that experience alone is not always a good indication of success. While we like to believe that experience is the gold standard for quality legal representation, it is not axiomatic that experience leads to success.

One thing to consider when hiring a criminal defense lawyer is whether the lawyer has been disciplined for unprofessional conduct by his/her state bar. The state bar handles complaints filed against lawyers and can be a good source of information with regard to the professional reputation and abilities of your prospective criminal defense law firm.

The majority of criminal prosecutions are not resolved through a jury’s verdict following a trial but as a result of hard fought negotiated plea agreements worked out between the criminal defense attorney and prosecutor after a thorough criminal investigation has been conducted.

Does your criminal defense lawyer or juvenile lawyer respond to your calls promptly?

Does your criminal defense attorney or juvenile crime attorney just tell you what you want to hear?

Has your criminal lawyer articulated the specific ramifications and potential consequences of taking your case all the way to a jury trial?

Has your criminal defense attorney communicated each potential option with you including the likelihood of success and the consequences and penalties associated with each option?

Has your criminal lawyer or juvenile crime lawyer clearly explained your fee arrangement?

Has your criminal defense lawyer or juvenile court lawyer documented your family situation including whether you have dependents to support, whether you are professionally licensed and/or whether your county of residence possesses alternatives to incarceration that you may pre qualify for?

With so much on the line with a criminal defense legal matter, it is essential that you make an informed decision with regard to the criminal attorney that you hire. Two of the most important factors to consider are communication and experience. If your criminal lawyer accurately communicates the chances and consequences of all your options, you have the best chance of choosing the most favorable course of action. Further, the more experience your attorney has in dealing with situations like yours, the more likely they will be able to assist you in getting a result with which you can live.

Clive Cussler’s Dirk Pitt novels often focus on one or more current geopolitical events. The latest one, Arctic Drift, is no different, centering on a worldwide financial crisis in 2011, coupled with global warming woes.

The bad guy of the story, Mitchell Goyette, is a Canadian energy tycoon with a public facade of green technology and renewable resource businesses. However, his dark underbelly conceals heavy involvement in oil and natural gas.

The United States faces a financial meltdown, aggravated by the threat of an international boycott if the country does not decrease its carbon dioxide emissions from coal fired power plants. Canada holds the key to America’s salvation in the form or an enormous wealth of natural gas reserves.

The sitting American president, who in 2011 is neither Democratic nor Republican but an independent, hopes to use Canadian natural gas to replace coal for producing electricity and even for powering cars converted to run on natural gas.

However, Goyette is in a perfect position to take advantage of the United State’s desperate gamble, and he does so without conscience. To the Canadian public, Goyette is an environmental hero who invests millions in wind power and carbon sequestration. Unbeknownst to the masses, he’s unscrupulously involved in every dirty industry that will make him more money, in particular the oil sands of Athabasca, Alberta, and the Melville natural gas fields of the Canadian Arctic, over which he has full control.

Promising the U.S. government a nearly unlimited supply of the Melville natural gas to help solve the American energy crisis, and consequently also the financial crisis brought on by soaring oil prices, Goyette underhandedly signs a secret deal with the Chinese to instead sell them the gas at 10% above market value, with no intention of keeping his word to the U.S.

(In reality, it seems a little farfetched that the American government would not have had an iron-clad, legally binding, written contract in place for a deal of this magnitude and importance. But it makes for a good story.)

But Goyette’s double-dealing with China and the U.S. pales in comparison to some of his other crimes, which include political assassination, intentional dumping of toxic waste that kills humans and wildlife, theft, vandalizing, bribery of high ranking officials, and worst of all, nearly instigating a war between Canada and the U.S.

Of course, what Goyette fails to take into consideration is Dirk Pitt, the hero of twenty novels by Clive Cussler, including this most recent installment. In the end, Pitt manages to wreak havoc with all of Goyette’s ill-willed plans.

Arctic Drift is a seamless joint effort between Clive Cussler and son, Dirk Cussler. It is difficult to tell their penmanship apart. Whatever sections of the book were written by Dirk Cussler, he did an outstanding job of emulating his father’s inimitable style. (Oxymoron intended!)

Arctic Drift is a thrilling read in classic Clive Cussler style. You will not be disappointed. It may not be the edge-of-your-seat non-stop action from cover-to-cover as in some of the older Cussler works, but it’s still an exciting, intriguing and brilliantly written story that keeps your attention and makes you want to keep reading. The thugs are as smart as they are sinister, and the heroes as pure as Arctic ice.

Spartan Gold is the first in a new series by New York Times bestseller Clive Cussler in cooperation with action novel writer Grant Blackwood.

The books of this new series are called “Fargo Adventures,” so named after the book’s heroes, married couple Sam and Remi Fargo.

After a few years of entrepreneurship early in life which made them a fortune, the Fargos have been able to devote their new lives to their main passion, archeological treasure hunting. And they generally let nothing and no one deter them from finding their prize.

While this new series features a new set of characters and a different venue – archeology – the typical Clive Cussler calling cards that we have come to expect still remain: Exotic foods and drinks, rare collectors’ vehicles, and a lot of action taking place in water, above or below the surface.

In Spartan Gold, Sam and Remi Fargo pursue a trail of clues left on the labels of twelve wine bottles from the lost wine cellar of Napoleon Bonaparte, written in a code they must first decipher.

Naturally, their quest to unravel this mystery does not go unimpeded. Relentlessly on their heels are the hired ruffians of Bondaruk, a former Soviet freedom fighter from an ethnic minority group, who has since turned into a ruthless mafia billionaire.

Bondaruk believes the end of the trail will lead to an ancient Greek gold-treasure once conquered by his ancestor, the Persian ruler Xerxes the Great. A treasure which Bondaruk has convinced himself is his rightful heritage, and no one will be allowed to stand in his way of getting it.

The wine-bottle trail leads Sam and Remi, as well as their adversaries, from a sunken German submarine in the Great Pocomoke Swamp, Maryland, to the Bahamas, through much or Europe, from Germany, France and Italy to Croatia and Ukraine: not necessarily in that order.

To sum it up, Spartan Gold is the first in an exciting new series by the master of marine action novels, Clive Cussler, complete with the distinct hallmarks that we have come to love and expect from this beloved author. In other words, Spartan Gold is another guaranteed New York Times bestseller.

The second book in a new Western series by Clive Cussler, “one of the greatest adventure novelists of our time” (imdb), The Wrecker represents the continuation of Cussler’s entry into the classic American genre of Wild West fiction. Who knows, maybe it will turn into his most popular series yet.

As with the first novel in the series, The Chase, the hero of The Wrecker is a detective named Isaac Bell who combines the sleuthing brilliance of Sherlock Holmes with the physical prowess and fearlessness of James Bond.

Conveniently, Isaac Bell is also independently wealthy, heir to a prominent Boston banking family. After disappointing his father by not following in his footsteps, Bell has pursued his detective work with a fervor that spells obsessive passion more than a way to make a living.

Isaac Bell gets hired by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company to find and stop a saboteur known as “The Wrecker,” who has targeted Southern Pacific construction sites throughout the West. If the sabotage continues in the midst of pressing deadlines to finish work on a major new track, it could cost Southern Pacific its good standing with its lenders, and rapidly lead to bankruptcy.

Reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes’ arch-nemesis Professor Moriarty, the villain known as The Wrecker is nearly as brilliant as Isaac Bell himself. Unbeknownst to all, until the end of the book, The Wrecker hides in plain sight, right within the innermost circles of his adversaries.

The agenda of the Wrecker is to seize control of the Southern Pacific Railroad through various dummy corporations he has put in place, which will help him capture the fallout from Southern Pacific’s impending bankruptcy. Not only that but it appears he plans to eventually to control the entire United States railroad system, the greatest source of billionaire wealth in America at the turn of the last century.

Set in the early twentieth century, the novel of course presents a golden opportunity for automobile enthusiast Clive Cussler to have fun with several classic automobiles from the age when the invention of the car was in its infancy and the experimental variety in styles was greater than ever in history.

The Wrecker features the 1907 Model 35 Thomas Flyer, winner of the 1908 New York to Paris race, as well as a Packard Grey Wolf, a Bugatti Type 41 Royale, and Isaac Bell’s own Locomobile.

Although Clive Cussler may be best known for his love of diving and sea exploration, both through his fictional stories and non-fictional enterprises, he obviously also cherishes the rugged landscapes of the American West. Why else would he have chosen to live in the mountains of Colorado, as far from the sea as you can get in the United States?

This “second” love of Clive Cussler shines through in his new Isaac Bell series in a way that will likely reinvigorate many old Wild West enthusiasts as well as give birth to a whole new generation of Western lovers. The book is a highly recommended read.

When it comes to filing a disability claim, the process can be extremely difficult to comprehend for most people. First of all, before being able to determine if you can even file a claim, you need to ensure that you fit into the guidelines enforced by the social security administration.

In order to file a claim for disability, you must suffer from a disability that is either mental or physical. However, this exact same disability must impact your ability to work and support your family. A lot of people that are considered good candidates for filing a disability claim are the people that were actually forced to leave their present employers due to their disability.

Although, a disability is not anything that someone wishes to happen to them, having your disability claim is crucial to be able to provide some level of financial support to your family. The process of filing a claim, can be extremely daunting, and all around confusing.

One of the very first things that you are going to be required to do is visit a physician that will need to determine if your medical claim is sufficient and if you should not work due to your disability. Keep in mind that even if a doctor prohibits you from working, there is still a chance that your disability claim may not be approved the first time.

This can be rather disturbing to have to think about. But, there are a lot of people that have had to go through an appeals process in order to have their claim approved for benefits. The final decision as to if you will receive your benefits or not will rest on the social security administration.

The administration has their own evaluation process that your claim will need to go through in order to be approved. Ultimately the final decision, if you are going to receive financial compensation will rest in their hands. In a way, it is kind of scary to think that the financial stature of your family lasts in the hands of one administrative decision.

In fact, for a lot of people that are opting to file a disability claim, they have actually made it their duty to seek out someone to assist them with the process. Sometimes the forms that you have to fill out in order to receive the claim that you desire can be a little hard to understand. Some people even claim that if the words on the application were not put into such a legal standpoint that they would have not had any problem being approved.

Even though filing a disability claim should be the first thing on your mind when you have been declared disabled by a health care professional it can become burdensome to some extent as well. It is imperative when filing your claim that you include all information that you have available pertaining to your injury.

You will need to show proof that your disability exists, or your claim will not be processed in the manner that you wish. Basically, if there is no medical proof to back up your allegations that you are suffering from a disability nothing can be done to assist you financially.
