"Have you ever patronized a prostitute?" was the question asked of New York's incoming governor, David (just one "t") Paterson who is replacing Eliot (just one "l") Spitzer. The answer is at Capitol Confidential;

A Google seach of "New York State" shows that Paterson is already the Governor, even though he won't be sworn in for four more days (also via Capitol Confidential); Here's the screenshot: Who's The Gov.pdf

A reminder for new New York bloggers: Each Monday Nicole Black at Sui Generis does a round-up of New York blog postings for the last week and on Wednesday a round-up of news stories;

Blawg Review #150 is up at the Trusted Advisor, with a theme of, well, trust;

The New York Personal Injury Law Blog does not accept advertising banners, pop up ads or other distractions from its content. But since The Turkewitz Law Firm is the sole sponsor, it may be considered a form of attorney advertising in accordance with New York rules going into effect February 1, 2007 (22 NYCRR 1200.1, et. seq.)

Throughout the blog as it develops, you may see examples of cases we have handled, or cases from others, that are used for illustrative purposes. Since all cases are different, and legal authority may change from year to year, it is important to remember that prior results in any particular case do not guarantee or predict similar outcomes with respect to any future matter, including yours, in which any lawyer or law firm may be retained.

Some of the commentary may be become outdated. Some might be a minority opinion, or simply wrong. No reader should consider this site (or any other) to be authoritative, and if a legal issue is presented, the reader should contact an attorney of his or her own choosing for advice.
