3 Lesser Known Maryland Trusts (And Why You Might Need Them)

August 20, 2018
Neil Tyra

What do you do when you have some assets you want to leave to your children or grandchildren, but still need to protect them against interference from third parties? You create a trust. In fact, trusts are established precisely to provide legal protection for a trustor's assets, as well as to ensure that those assets are distributed as per the trustor's wishes.

What’s In Your Legal App Folder?

December 13, 2011
NWT Owner/Admin

As this is supposed to be a blog that addresses the use of Apple products in a law firm, I thought we would do the standard end of the year app review. While I have not yet incorporated the use of these products in the courtroom, I do use them all of the time while in the office, on the road, and at home. There are some real Mac studs out there using all kinds of Apple hardware and related software products in really Read More

Back in the Saddle Again (and secure)!

December 16, 2010
NWT Owner/Admin

So I have been offline for months now. I would like the say that most of that time off was due to circumstances beyond my control. Well, I would like to say that and it's partially, although not entirely, true. Many months ago I was informed by my internet service provider (ISP) that my blog had been corrupted and taken off line.

Twittering Lawyers

February 27, 2009
NWT Owner/Admin

Jeff Richardson publishes a great blog on the intersection of two of my favorite themes: the iPhone and lawyering.

But I think the potential can outweigh the downside if used properly and judiciously. Jeff's most recent post also Read More

Geek Alert

January 2, 2009
NWT Owner/Admin

I finally was able to upgrade to WordPress 2.7. I am sure that it would have been easier to build a rocket capable of flying to the moon. But the whole concept of how the website and the blog subdomain are organized and how to FTP files to that part of the directory structure is like trying to learn a foreign language for me. I can do it, but it takes forever and is very frustrating. And I have a degree in computer Read More
