Biography

I was born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska, where I practiced law from 1977. I was a municipal attorney for the first part of my legal career, and then switched to private practice. I conducted a general private law practice, with emphasis in civil litigation and bankruptcy. I also taught several college-level courses relating to various aspects of the law. In 2004, my family and I moved to Florida and have been here ever since. From 2011 to 2015 I worked for another lawyer in Walton County, assisting him in his office, especially with scheduling of attendance at real estate foreclosure hearings in behalf of secured creditors. I was admitted to the Florida bar in 2016.

A: Maybe they stole the dog, maybe not. But if they are not communicating with you because they want a "reward", they may be guilty of something.

Did they call you and send pictures of the dog by a cell phone? If so, you or the police can probably trace the call and identify them and investigate whether a crime has occurred. That should help you to get your dog back.
Q. I purchased a vacant residential lot at a tax auction. The neighbor removed the fence on their property that faced my lo
A: The previous answer correctly suggests some of the measures that might be done. But as I read the question, the new fence is not on the neighbors' property but on the property of the person who asked the question, and blocks access, presumably from the street.
Q. Tax rate on 614000.00illinois farm sale from florida resident
A: If I correctly understand what you are asking, you want to know the taxes applicable to the sale of property in Illinois. You would have to ask the authorities in the area of Illinois where the farm is located. For federal income tax (capital gains), of any, that would depend upon your specific circumstances.
