What Your Lawyer

Needs from You with Miles

D. Peterson

case; you need to respond appropriately as soon as you are able. There are times where a case can come to a standstill because a client has gone MIA when something is needed from them.

On the other hand, your attorney also needs space to properly work on your case. If you are calling them every hour on the hour, they won’t have the time they need to do the work necessary for your case. As mentioned above you will need

to trust that they are working hard in your favor, even when they are not talking you through each step.

Finally, sometimes your attorney just needs you to listen to their advice. For example, if you attorney advises you to stop communicating with the opposing party in writing, please listen to them. They are not trying to control you; they are trying to keep you from giving the other side evidence to use against you.

When you hire a lawyer, it’s because you need them to use their expertise to navigate the law in order to accomplish your goals. However, in order to do their job properly, your attorney has needs of you as well. This week we’ll talk about what a few of those needs are, and why they are so important for the success of your case.

The most important thing that I need from my clients is their trust and honesty. I tell each of my clients that there are two people that you need to be completely honest with, your attorney and your doctor. Without trust and honesty, I cannot adequately do my job. If there are bad facts in your case, I need to know them so that I can properly prepare to defend against them. You don’t want the first time your attorney hears about your assault charge to be in the middle of a trial. During your consultation tell your attorney all of the facts both the good and the bad. We’re here to help you, not judge you.

Next is your responsiveness. Your attorney will reach out to you for various reasons. Sometimes it is merely to update you on the status of your case, but other times it is because something important is needed. If you receive an email asking for documents, your signature, or questions pertaining to your

Fisk University women's gymnastics program may be less than a year old, but it's already managed to make a stunning footprint.

The team represents the first historically Black college and university to compete in the sport at the NCAA level, having made its debut on Jan. 6 at the inaugural Super 16 event in Las Vegas. The Nashville-based school held its own against more

established programs, including the University of North Carolina, Southern Utah University, and the University of Washington — ultimately finishing in fourth place with an overall score of 186.700.

Standout performers included leadoff gymnast Naimah Muhammad, whose floor routine set the tone for the Bulldogs’ head-turning debut, and five-star recruit Morgan Price who netted the meet’s highest score on vault — a stunning 9.9, anchored by a near-perfect landing.

“It’s humbling,” head coach Corrinne Tarver said to ESPN prior to the event. “Something that’s a long time coming and so I’m so proud to be able to bring the team to the floor that is a historically Black college and university. It’s the first time ever so we’re ready to go.”

Price, who de-committed from SEC powerhouse Arkansas University in order to join the 15 other recruits making up the new team, told ESPN: “We have a lot of eyes on us because we are the first and because we are making history, so it’s just so exciting to be a part of the first team ever.”

Tarver, who also serves as Fisk’s athletic director, is a fitting choice to lead the program, which was initially announced in February 2022. She herself has made history, being the first Black gymnast to win an NCAA all-around title in 1989.

Tarver told NewsOne last year that the team “open[s] up opportunities for girls who want to have an HBCU experience and

do gymnastics at the same time because it just wasn’t something that was an option before.”

Wolen-Allen “A Legacy of Legal Pioneers”

the gift of practicing law is one-of-a-kind ability that can’t be purchased in any form or fashion, but has lasting value that has gone beyond any one case or situation in this pictorial tribute to the family Legacy legal prowlers links from Scottie Allen, to Cynthia Wolen Allen, to Judge Ingrid Warren, Judge Valencia Nash-McShann to the Son Scottie Allen II now finishing the BAR and practicing in San Diego CA.

When reflecting on one’s accomplishments, the WolenAllen legal legacy shines splendidly with great, and grand strides of achievement from Criminal, Civil litigation, entertainment law, health law, real-estate, and general practice. This family has the field of law covered, the gifted law practice of Scottie, and Cynthis WolenAllen is a special gift wrapped with their many accomplishments,

In a conversation with Legendary attorney Cynthia Wolen-Allen she remarked that ‘each day attorneys go to bat for their clients, they listen to some of the hardest moments of their clients lives on repeat-scanning photos and videos of the traumatic events to find where justice should be served. Attorneys don’t just do this because of their profession, we do it because they genuinely care for their clients and hope to help them see the light after a challenging period.’ This is a crowning Legal Legacy.

Death of a thousand cuts is a form of torture and execution originating from Imperial China; and often seen in kung fu movies, it is referred to as the slow process, the lingering death, or slow slicing. You may know society is doomed when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; they only consume which is our government, when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get richer by graft and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you; and when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty not, yet we vote for a UNIPARTY SYSTEM, DISGUISED AS A TWO PARTY SYSTEM OF EITHER BIENG DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN, and their whole goal is to expand the centralized system and line their pockets at the peeps expense and the whole world’s expense; something is drastically wrong. One of the thousand cuts ways is by exporting a strong US Dollar the reserve currency of the world. Let me explain the US Dollar index. The US Dollar index (USDX) is a relative measure of U.S. dollars (USD) strength against a basket of six influential currencies, including the Euro, Pound, Yen, Canadian Dollar, Swedish Korner, and Swiss Franc. Think about what is going on in those countries and where are they mostly located? Europe and Japan! Where are the Russian sanctions doing the most damage? In Europe , UK and Japan. In those places the economies are the pits. Money flows from those places keeps moving into hard USA assets like real estate and

With sanctions affecting those countries and I laid a 100 year logarithmic chart over the US Dollar Index, including those currencies you would see a straight consistent downward slope; however, the U.S. dollar is strong in comparison to other currencies; but only because their purchasing power is falling faster than the U.S. dollar’s in a race to the bottom. I expect to see the Euro possibly loosing 25% in value this year while the USA dollar strengthens, however, we have other alternative contenders wanting to dethrone the USA dollar. This is why I reference that the United States is the finest girl at the dance and she is the only one that the boyz want to dance with because all the other girls are ugly and this is why we the United States carry the big stick and the money flow is coming here to the USA because its ugly as hell everywhere else in the world in an interconnected world. We also need to know all transactions for worldwide goods and services are priced in US Dollars: AND WE GET A CUT OF EVERY TRANSACTION IN THE WORLD KINDA LIKE USING YOUR VISA OR MASTERCARD. This is why Jesus turned over the money changers/Banksters tables and called the place the Robbers’ Den. It’s awfully funny after that the Banksters/Money Changers said IMMEDIATELY He had to go and then I’ll add in BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Please excuse my analogy! See there is truth in my analogy across all spectrums, but most peeps can’t handle the truth and believe in a lie.

making. All the chart is in simple terms is the highs and lows of a daily, weekly or yearly closing prices of anything when plotted out gives a visual trend which is history. That’s where the term called ‘the trend is your friend’, therefore you can make an educated guess based upon a chart because it’s all math, history and physics. When you hear talk of a “strong U.S. dollar,” don’t be fooled. The U.S. dollar is only strong in comparison to other rapidly-depreciating currencies. This is why President Biden and others before him gets to call shots along with our strong military, however, the BRIC Nations mainly the Russia, India, China along with Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia the other oil producing countries in that region along with African Bloc where 2/3 of the worlds’ population lives and Gross domestic product (GDP) off the chain is challenging the hegemony of the USA and this is the real reason for the worldwide sanctions against Russia and the USA messing with China. IT’S ABOUT THE MONEY! POWER AND CONTROL!!! This bloc is introducing another financial system which is backed by physical assets mainly gold, silver and commodities which those countries have an abundance of. They are also some main users of Decentralized Crypto to skate around the USA Dollar and influence and it’s also why the SEC is Messing with XRP; because they XRP uses a new MONEY CHANGING ON DEMAND LIQUIDITY system that runs on the decentralized Blockchain which is a new paradigm shift that is taking hold based upon the development in the space.

With those other world currencies dying a ‘death of a thousand cuts’ the USA cartel days is numbered because of the gross mismanagement in the economies of the world.

There’s also a real chance that Saudi Arabia starts selling their oil on the new Shanghai Exchange further denting the USA’s petro-dollar

influence. We can thank President Biden for calling them a Pariah State which means scum of the earth. They have already rejected him 3 times. Then add in the Pusherman Powell trying to break the Sons of Perditions back financially in a ‘clash of titans’. Death of a thousand cuts inside of the Cat 7 Cyclone is a slow death but in this case death can come rapidly and painfully because of the Category 7 Cyclone.

The governments of the world will introduce a CBDC which they think is the answer which they think will stop one of the main cuts. Let me

pose this question do you want the CBDC to steal your money slowly over time or all at once? LOL!!!

The governments run by the Sons of Perdition around the world are betting on ‘all at once’. This is why those whose ears and eyes of their understanding has been enlightened will move away centralization. And will counterpunch in the decentralized arena.

More Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease – an estimated 6.5 million Americans. Older Black Americans are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease than White Americans. Black Americans are less likely to receive a diagnosis. Further, when they are diagnosed, it is typically in the later stages of the disease, when their medical needs are greater.

To help raise awareness of the impact of Alzheimer’s on Black American communities, Gdavis Productions and Films, LLC and the Alzheimer’s Association have joined together to create a new stage play titled, Unforgettable, which is coming to The Black Academy of Arts and Letters in Dallas on February 18, 2023.
