Here are some of the year’s notable legal stories. T HE CITIZENS OF WASHINGTON, D.C., are taking a big step toward home rule with a legislative attempt to break free of the fiscal grip of the federal government. For years, various efforts have been made to overturn the constitutional oddity by which the District of Columbia has to seek permission from Congress before passing a budget or spending locally raised taxes—even though it has no representation in the Senate and only a non-voting presence in the House of Representatives.This requirement has become particularly onerous as wider budget disagreements between Republicans and Democrats have brought Congress to a standstill on any fiscal matter. On April 23, a referendum was put forth before Washington, D.C.’s voters that would mandate city authorities to begin spending locally raised tax revenue without first going to Congress. The law was supported by an overwhelming majority of the public (upwards of 80 percent of the vote), but challenges still lie ahead. The legal status of such an amendment is highly debatable and has been compared by some in Congress to a revolutionary act. California Republican Darrell Issa, chairman of a key House committee in charge of the D.C. budget process, referred to the referendum as a “partial secession from the Union.” “This is a small measure of self-determination,” James Jones, of the DC Vote campaign, told the Guardian. “This is in no way a revolutionary concept; we just want control of our local tax dollars. Congress would still have to review our budget, but it would go some way toward addressing this island of injustice. “We are prepared for a legal challenge. Congress does not have the highest standing, and the idea that they would overturn the popular vote on this is hard to imagine.” Washington’s unique status in U.S. law stems from its founding in 1790 as neutral territory separate from the states, when it was placed under the exclusive control of the federal government. That D.C. residents would vote in favor of the amendment was never in question; but despite the overwhelming popular support for the District taking direct control over 70 percent of its $9.6 billion budget, the real decision will be made in the coming weeks when, as all D.C. laws do, it goes through Congress for a final sign-off. Project found that 63 percent of D.C. residents supported enacting legalization initiatives, while 78 percent of residents said that they would like to expand D.C.’s medical marijuana law so that doctors could prescribe cannabis to patients for any condition whatsoever. (The current law has restrictive limits on what conditions doctors may prescribe marijuana for.) In addition, 67 percent would like to see fewer police resources devoted to taking action against people who possess or use marijuana. More than 4,000 people were arrested for possession in D.C. last year. The Washington Post noted that, three years ago, the District was fairly evenly split when it came to the issue: 46 percent in favor to 48 percent opposed. D.C. is following national trends which now show that a majority, or a near-majority, of Americans support the legalization of marijuana. This most recent poll, however, raises the possibility of a 2014 ballot initiative either decriminalizing or legalizing marijuana in the District of Columbia.

The decision overturned a March 2012 ruling that the right to bear arms is not limited to the home, and that the right of self-defense was impermissibly burdened by Maryland’s law. Maryland Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler lauded the decision, saying in a statement that the ruling “reaffirms the considered view of the General Assembly that carrying handguns in public without a good and substantial reason poses unique safety risks that the state may address through sensible laws.” Meanwhile, a gun bill approved by the General Assembly in early April bans the sale of 45 types of military-style semi-automatic rifles, among other strict provisions. The gun law, which Gov. Martin O’Malley plans to sign during a ceremony in May, also limits magazines to 10 bullets and requires a license to buy a handgun. Gov. O’Malley said in a statement that the bill strikes “a balance between protecting the safety of law enforcement and “The state has clearly demonstrated that the good-and-substantial-reason requirement advances the objectives of protecting public safety and preventing crime because it reduces the number of handguns carried in public.” —Judge Robert King our children, and respecting the traditions of hunters and law-abiding citizens to purchase handguns for self-protection.” Once signed, the sweeping law would take effect October 1. The National Rifle Association said that the organization intends to challenge the constitutionality of the new law, while one conservative group readied plans to try to overturn the law through voter referendum. Consumer Rights According to reports in the Baltimore Sun, Gov. O’Malley is also expected to sign the following consumer-friendly bills into law this May. A priority for the Maryland Consumer Rights Coalition this year was to ban the jailing of people who fail to show up in court for small-claims cases. This happens when a creditor wins a judgment against a consumer and the consumer fails twice to show up in court as ordered. Over a 12-month period, 39 Marylanders spent time in jail—in one instance, for 14 days—in cases involving judgments of $5,000 or less, according to a coalition report this year. A bill to ban the practice was opposed by Maryland’s banks and courts. But lawmakers passed legislation taking effect in October that would require arrested individuals to be brought immediately before a judge or judicial officer. If these consumers are not released on their own recognizance, then the judge or judicial officer must impose the “least onerous condition.” Gary Landsman CHAIKIN, SHERMAN, CAMMARATA & SIEGEL, P.C. p e r s o n a l i n J u ry, m e d i c a l m a l p r a c t i c e , l i t i g at i o n t HE LAWYERS AT CHAIKIN, SHERMAN, CAMMARATA & SIEGEL, P.C. have been representing victims injured by negligence for more than 40 years. the firm has built its reputation on an unwavering commitment to aggressive and creative litigation strategies, ensuring that clients receive complete justice. the firm focuses on helping individuals who have suffered personal injury—including brain injury or death—from motor vehicle, truck, and tractor-trailer collisions; mass transit collisions; medical malpractice; group home and nursing home abuse; and unsafe premises. the firm also handles cases on behalf of whistleblowers who report fraud, waste, and abuse in the federal government.

One of your first tasks, even if you’re thinking about a divorce, is to make a Generally, the property division in your divorce doesn’t create tax consequences to worry about on your next tax return.The reason is that usually there’s no federal tax gain or loss when a property transfer is “incident to the divorce.”This likely means that the transfer happens within a year of the date the marriage ends, or is related to the end of your marriage. Further, for a transfer to be related to the end of a marriage, your divorce or separation decree must also provide for it, and it has to be done within six years of the marriage’s dissolution.

Categories include art, literary works, music, inventions, designs, processes and trademarks. Licenses and Your Rights A license allows an intellectual property rights holder (the licensor) to make money from an invention or creative work by charging a user (the licensee) for product use. Licenses protect proprietary rights in things such as software and other computer products. Types of Property Rights Be familiar with the different types of property rights before you create a licensing agreement. It’s also key to know the scope of your rights, such as exclusive property rights. Copyrights - original works of authorship fixed in any tangible expression form Patents - inventions Trademarks - words, names or symbols identifying goods made or sold, distinguishing them from others Securing Your Rights Intellectual property is a complex area of law, and your lawyer is often the best source to help you protect and manage your rights. The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the US Copyright Office administer IPlaws and rules. Some IP protections, such as copyrights, may be automatic. Other protections, such as patents, are granted by the USPTO and the application process can be rigorous and complex. License Scope Licensing is assigning limited use rights for property. Maintain ultimate ownership while keeping rights broad enough so customers want to use your product. Except for custommade products, a license is typically be nonexclusive, so you could sell it to others. Rights don’t have to allow the licensee to reproduce and distribute to third parties. Sometimes, licenses allow reproduction within a controlled environment or may allow for a resale license, with royalties paid to the licensor. Revenue from Your Product Terms controlling revenue streams generated by licensed products are key. With most license agreements on end user consumer software, for example, a one-time license fee is usually paid at purchase.

WiLLougHby h aving a CHiLD WitH CerebraL palsy poses several challenges. this article explains what cerebral palsy is, how it is caused, common types of cerebral palsy and how to find legal, emotional, and financial help in confronting the special hardships faced by families living with cerebral palsy. WHat is CerebraL PaLsy? cerebral palsy (“cp”) is a term used to describe a number of disorders characterized by impaired movement control that becomes apparent during the first few months or years of life. cp is an incur- 12 Washington D.C. & Baltimore’s Top Rated Lawyers able but non-progressive condition (i.e. cp will not get any worse over time) that affects body movement, muscle control, tone, reflex and coordination, and balance. it can also impact fine and gross motor skills and oral motor functioning. Approximately 500,000 children in American have cerebral palsy and it has been reported that about 10,000 babies born each year in the united states will be diagnosed with cp during early childhood. Causes oF CerebraL PaLsy cerebral palsy results from brain damage or abnormal brain development occurring before birth, during birth, or immediately after birth. thus, cp is not the result of muscle or nerve problems but rather impaired development or damage to areas of the brain that control movement and posture. Although the cause of cp is often unknown, some babies develop cerebral palsy from oxygen deprivation or a stroke during labor and delivery. disruption of the oxygen supply during labor and delivery is estimated to account for between 5% and 10% of all cerebral palsy cases. sometimes this oxygen deprivation (or stroke) is due to medical mistakes during labor and delivery. such mistakes, which can lead to medical malpractice suits, commonly include: • Failure to appropriately monitor the fetal heart rate during labor and delivery; • Failure to diagnose and treat infections in the mother during pregnancy; • Misuse of delivery aids such as forceps and vacuum devices; • Failure to perform a medically necessary surgical delivery on a timely basis; and, • Failure to schedule a surgical delivery for a baby the health care provider should have recognized was too large to be safely delivered vaginally. tyPes oF CerebraL PaLsy there are three major classifications of cerebral palsy: spastic (stiff muscles and contractions, accounting for approximately 80% of cp cases); Dyskinetic (uncontrolled movements, accounting for approximately 10% of cases); and, ataxic (poor balance and coordination, accounting for approximately 10% of cases). children with spastic cp have difficulty moving and holding onto/letting go of objects. children with dyskinetic cp experience involuntary movements, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, and inability to maintain posture. children with ataxic cp have difficulty walking and performing functions that require a high degree of muscle control, such as writing. often children have symptoms of more than one variety of cp with spastic-dyskinetic being the most common combination.

To See All AV® Preeminent™ Rated Attorneys visit www.law.com/washingtontoprated A special advertising supplement SAFETY SHOULD COME NATURALLY WHEN DRILLING L IKE IT OR NOT, THE US NEEDS natural resources like oil, coal, and natural gas to run. Getting these resources means drilling into the earth. As the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill and mining accident earlier in the year showed us, accidents happen and people and the environment get hurt. How do we keep things safe? Safety Rules By now, you’ve probably heard or read about some of the laws in place that are designed to prevent oil spills and the injuries to workers and the environment that usually follow. There are detailed requirements companies must follow before, during, and after drilling operations. As the Gulf spill has shown,sometimes these laws aren’t tough or thorough enough. After all, that was the lesson we learned after the Exxon Valdez spill, right? Federal lawmakers are responding today,too.In mid-2010,the US House of Representatives passed bills that: Bars oil and other energy companies from getting new offshore drilling permits if they have poor safety records Requires oil and gas companies, as a prerequisite to getting an permit to drill offshore, to prove they have adequate and proper equipment to help increase safety when it comes to drilling for the natural resources we need: Not Just Oil Safety concerns go beyond oil rigs and may hit closer to home than the open sea. For example, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, there are concerns over proposed drilling for natural gas within the city limits. The drilling operations would likely translate into millions of dollars in revenue, the creation of thousands of jobs, and satisfy the whole county’s natural gas needs for decades. The downside? Possible threats of ground water contamination, release of hazardous gases and chemicals into the air, noise, and traffic snarls, just to name a few. And, in the worse case, an explosion that likely would kill far more people than the 11 workers killed in the Gulf explosion. Take Part There are a number of things any of us can do Contact your elected officials and tell them you’re in favor of tougher safety standards Attend meetings, write letters to, or call your local lawmakers and let them know about your safety concerns and demand to know how those concerns will be addressed If you see or hear about something unsafe happening at a drilling site, report it. Start by contacting your local health department Energy companies: Other than following the law and keeping your operations safe, you can keep watch over each other, too. For example, the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC) publishes safety alerts for oil, gas, and geothermal drilling operations There’s no doubt we need natural resources like oil and gas. Our need shouldn’t outweigh the importance of protecting human life and the environment while getting what we need, though. We can and should do our part to keep things as safe as possible.

Usually, this means the best care and the least amount of change.The parent who can offer the children the least amount of disruption in their lives will get physical custody, which includes familiarity with the house, neighborhood, and schools. When both parents are incapable of caring for a child, nonparental custody can be granted. Children’s Preferences Count Judges in some states will consider a child’s wishes when 8 deciding custody.They will not automatically place the child with the preferred parent but will include a child’s wishes in their decisions. This is particularly true when the children are teenagers. Judges Consider Domestic Violence If either parent has a history of domestic violence, judges must consider this in some states. However, if one parent falsely accuses the other of violence, this false accusation can work against the parent who makes it. Some Issues Don’t Affect Custody Spouses often believe that the other parent’s bad behavior should influence a judge’s custody decision. Although some state courts weigh issues such as a parent’s moral character, judges generally may not consider these things unless the parent’s behavior has a direct effect on the child. For example, a parent might have had an affair, but if the children were not aware of it, the judge probably will not consider it in a custody decision. A parent with a history of drinking and driving, on the other hand, might be denied custody because such habits put the children at risk. A Family Law Lawyer Can Help The law surrounding child custody is complicated and the facts of each case are often unique. For more detailed, specific information, please contact a family lawyer. Questions for Your Attorney Before meeting with your attorney, prepare yourself with questions such as: What happens if a custodial parent decides to move out of the state with the child? Is a non-custodial parent automatically required to make child support payments? Should my children have to relocate, how will their new school help them acclimate?

In a collaborative divorce, each spouse and their lawyers agree to stay out of court, freely share information and avoid taking advantages of any mistakes that might be made. Less time-consuming, as you can usually reach agreement and the legal proceeding can be finalized quicker. Collaborative law gives both spouses and their lawyers control of the proceedings, in contrast to a traditional divorce, where a judge controls the proceedings. The Participation Agreement The participation agreement is a key feature of the collaborative divorce. This agreement, Advantages of Collaborative Law which is signed by both spouses and their lawyers, typically requires all parties to Collaborative divorce law is: agree that: Generally less costly than litigation All efforts will be made to negotiate Focused on resolving issues a divorce agreement without the need of Less stressful, as it generates much less fear having to going to court. and anxiety than court proceedings PAGE PROOF -- FOR APPROVAL ONLY If litigation is necessary, the collaborative attorTURNBULL, neys will withdraw NICHOLSON from the case and replaced by di& SANDERS, P.A. be C HRISTOPHER W. vorce attorneys.

You are asked to disclose information voluntarily and to verify it with documentation and tax returns. At what are known as joint sessions or four-way con- ferences, both spouses and their collaborative lawyers (and sometimes other neutral professionals) meet to discuss the issues and seek ways to create or arrive at agreement. They brainstorm for any and all possible solutions. All parties focus on ways to resolve the problem, instead of seeing the other party as the problem and attacking each other. Each spouse often starts seeing things more from their spouse’s point of view. When you reach a divorce agreement through collaborative law, one of the lawyers will draft legal documents that detail the agreements which have been reached. These legally binding documents are then submitted to the court for approval without having to go through a long court hearing. What Happens If Settlement Can’t Be Reached? If you can’t arrive at a settlement through the collaborative law approach, the collaborative lawyers withdraw from the case and each party will hire a divorce attorney to tackle the issues in court. That way, you’ll have had the best representation for each phase of the proceedings. Any person approaching a divorce situation should talk with a collaborative lawyer to get an assessment of his or her situation to see if it might be settled without litigation. The earlier this is done, the more chance there is for the other party to be oriented toward a settlement approach. Questions for Your Attorney If you and your spouse both agree to engage in a collaborative divorce, your next step is to find a lawyer who is experienced in this field. As you interview attorneys, consider asking the following questions: Is my divorce suitable for using the collaborative process? Do you have collaborative law experience? Are you a member of any associations of collaborative lawyers? How do you charge for your services?

Bekman Secures $1,341,000 Verdict in Medical Malpractice Case n o matter how many cases Paul D. Bekman has won and how many millions of dollars he has attained in verdicts and settlements on behalf of clients, he continues to approach each case the same way. “I’ve tried more than 100 jury cases, and throughout each of them I have found that you can never prepare too much or spend too much time preparing your case,” says Bekman, who has won some of the highest verdicts in the state of Maryland. “Preparation is what wins cases.” For more than 40 years, Bekman has worked tirelessly on behalf of injured individuals and families. His firm, Salsbury, Clements, Bekman, Marder & Adkins, LLC focuses on handling catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death cases and has significant experience and expertise in handling medical and professional negligence, product liability, automobile, transportation, maritime, and complex business litigation. Recently, Bekman won a medical malpractice case involving an elderly woman who died after her physician failed to immobilize her spine despite radiology results indicating that movement could cause paralysis. The verdict topped $1 million. On March 6, 2007, a Frederick County woman named Evelyn Reynolds, 77, fell and hurt her back. An ambulance took her to the Frederick Memorial Hospital emergency room to receive treatment. According to hospital records, Reynolds was suffering from osteopenia, a condition involving low bone mineral density and a “bamboo spine,” a type of arthritis that affects the joints in the pelvis and spine. Reynolds was admitted to the hospital under the care of Hirenkumar (Hiran) Shah, M.D., an internist. Shah had a STAT CT scan performed on Reynolds. The scan results, read by radiologist Rizwana Afzal, M.D., showed a small thoracoabdominal bleed. A CT angiogram was also preformed, showing a fracture of Reynolds’ vertebra. According to court documents, the radiologist says that she called the admitting doctor and verbally told him the results of the scan, emphasizing the importance of keeping Reynolds immobilized so that she would not become paralyzed. The radiologist also said that she asked the doctor to perform an MRI. “The physician stated that he did not remember having that conversation with the radiologist,” Bekman recalls. “The doctor failed to ensure that the patient was kept from moving.” Reynolds continued to report pain every time she moved. On March 9, 2007, she told the nurses that she could not feel her feet nor her legs. An MRI confirmed that Reynolds’ condition had deteriorated. She was then taken to the University of Maryland Medical Center and underwent an unsuccessful spinal fusion surgery. Following the surgery, Reynolds developed a staph infection on the site where she had the surgery. She died from the infection on July 30, 2007. Bekman represented Reynolds’ daughter, Patricia Wantz, who filed a suit on June 9, 2008. Wantz filed the suit individually and as the personal representative of her mother’s estate including counts of action for wrongful death and survival. The trial was initially scheduled for November 2009. On the first day of trial, the doctors moved to strike or preclude the testimony of three of Wantz’s expert witnesses. The judge granted the motions. Based on the lack of expert testimony, the judge granted summary judgment for the doctors. Wantz appealed. On March 1, 2011, the Court of Special Appeals ruled that the judge abused his discretion in excluding Wantz’s experts. The court reversed the defense ruling and remanded the case to Fredrick County for trial. A Frederick County Circuit Court jury deliberated for seven hours following a seven-day trial in January of 2013. It found that Reynolds’ doctor violated accepted standards of care in treating her. This violation caused Reynolds to ultimately die from a staph infection after spinal surgery. The jury cleared the radiologist in the case of any negligence. The jury found the admitting doctor negligent and awarded the Reynolds estate $131,000 in medical expenses, $10,000 for funeral expenses, and $750,000 for pain and suffering and physical and emotional damages. The jury also awarded Wantz $450,000 for mental anguish, emotional pain and suffering among other noneconomic damages “I think that in any case the facts of the case really determine the outcome,” Bekman says. “The facts of this particular case were very compelling. Hopefully, I was able to communicate these facts in a clear and simple manner to the jury.” Bekman’s work on cases such as that of Ms. Reynolds has earned him a respected reputation as one of the most formidable plaintiff attorneys in Baltimore. Bekman has been selected by his peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® since 1989 for the practice areas of personal injury, medical malpractice, product liability, maritime law and alternative dispute resolution. He has been Lawyer of the Year in the fields of Personal Injury, Medical Malpractice, and Products Liability for the last five consecutive years. He has been noted to be a Top Ten Super Lawyer in every year of its publication and has been the No. 1 rated Super Lawyer for the last two consecutive years. “Though there is nothing anyone can do to completely repay someone for their loss, or bring back a loved one, these verdicts and settlements can make all the difference in someone’s life by giving them some level of financial security and comfort,” Bekman says. – Ashley Cisneros “t hough there is nothing anyone Can Do to Completely repay someone For their loss, or Bring BaCk a loveD one, these verDiCts anD settlements Can make all the DiFFerenCe in someone’s liFe By giving them some level oF FinanCial seCurity anD ComFort.” —paul D.

This led to open heart surgery to remove the wire. As a result, she also developed blood clots that cut off blood flow into her right leg and foot. This left her with permanent and painful nerve injury. The case was tried in Wicomico County Circuit Court. Marder argued that excessive force and inattention caused the guide wire to embed in the aortic valve, and the Wicomico Co. jury agreed.
