Have fun and stay safe on Independence Day! Even though the 4th of July is very fun, it's also a dangerous holiday. I know, I sound full-on paranoid. It's because I've read too many legal cases about horrific injuries and accidents to be calm anymore. 4th of July may involve such hazards as drunk drivers, 'sploding fireworks in your own backyard, and eating BBQ that may or may not have been prepared with food safety in mind.

Help! My landlord is awful!

The fungus we don't want among us! Fungi: they're pretty when they're out in the woods, delicious if you know what you're doing with them in the kitchen, and deadly if you don't.

Commercial Landlord Tenant Law: Listen to the Lease!

  Landlords and tenants in commercial leases have the same goal: staying open for business! But we all know that despite people’s best intentions, things can go wrong. Commercial leases are no exception. Let’s talk about some “Do’s” and “Don’t’s” in commercial landlord tenant law. Read the Lease!   According to professionals like the solicitors Cavan town, a lease is a private contract between two parties. A good lease should account for all of the problems that might arise in a landlord/tenant relationship.
