He has taught in the areas of health care privacy law, collection, contracting and risk management. He received knighthoods from both the Roman Catholic church and the Imperial Family of Vietnam for world-wide charity work. He is active in his church, its music ministry and in work for the poor. He holds belts in three martial arts. He is a baritone soloist, a professional actor, a former coach of youth football for at risk boys and soccer, and during tax seasons doubles as a Lead Tax Advisor to the tax experts at Intuit TurboTax.

Legal Answers
5 Questions Answered
- Q. A court collection agency in Louisiana is refusing to accept any payment less than a $100 on a past due ticket????
- A: Technically, they have been hired to the full amount you owe so they can refuse anything less than that. It isn't practical, but it's likely legal. I would send in the payment anyway. They will likely process it as that is cheaper than taking the time to mail it back to you. Good luck.
- Q. Is there any way to get out of paying an unreasonable loan?
- A: There are too many unknowns to truly answer your question. Is it a federally recognized loan? Is it an accredited university? What language is contained in the contract? I recommend you sit down with a contract lawyer familiar with student loans and review the language. You may have some "outs" or the contract itself may have fatal flaws. It is not unlike posting a question for a doctor like "what's this thing on my arm?" It's hard to say without seeing it. Don't wait too long to get an opinion.
- Q. how do one buy a community land without the fear of be dupe
- A: I am sorry but we need more information to be able to assist you. What is "community land" and have you been dupe before? In what way?
