Judge Rules Donald Trump Cannot Challenge Rape Claim at Defamation Trial

U.S. Jury Concludes Trump Sexually Abused Writer E. Jean Carroll

E. Jean Carroll exits Manhattan Federal Court following the verdict in the civil rape accusation case against former U.S. President Donald Trump, in New York City, U.S., May 9, 2023. Court Ruling Bars Trump from Disputing Rape Claim U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan has ruled that former President Donald Trump cannot contest in a defamation trial that he did not rape writer E. Jean Carroll in the mid-1990s, as a previous jury found that he sexually abused her. In a recent order, Judge Kaplan granted Carroll's request to prevent the defense from arguing that the prior jury's decision was due to disbelief in Carroll's rape accusation. Background of the Case A jury in May previously directed Trump to pay Carroll $5 million for their alleged encounter in a Bergdorf Goodman store dressing room, which Trump denies ever occurred. Additionally, he was held accountable for defaming her in 2022. In the upcoming Jan. 16 trial, a distinct jury will deliberate on the amount Trump should compensate Carroll for defamation, specifically related to statements made in 2019. Court's Justification Trump's legal team claimed that the prior jury's conclusion undermined Carroll's assertion of malice by asserting that he didn't recognize Carroll and that she fabricated the rape claim for book sales. However, Judge Kaplan ruled that despite not fitting the definition of rape under New York law, the jury's finding that Trump forcibly and non-consensually penetrated Carroll's vagina substantiated her rape claim in modern parlance. Trial Details Carroll is seeking $10 million in compensatory damages along with punitive damages. She is expected to testify, and Trump could potentially be a trial witness. Despite facing numerous legal challenges, including 91 criminal charges across four indictments, Trump remains a front runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Trump's legal team and representatives have not yet responded to requests for comments. Case Information The ongoing case is Carroll v. Trump, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 20-07311. Read the full article

Common Questions for Real Estate Attorneys

Buying a home? Leasing commercial space? Purchasing a piece of land? You probably want to consider talking to a real estate attorney before making any big decisions and signing on a dotted line. If you don’t know a lot about real estate law, or law in general, you may want to consider doing some background research and asking these questions before you formally hire an attorney.

How long have you been practicing real estate law?

Just like looking for a doctor or an electrician, you want to know how long they’ve been practicing in their field to get the best experience as possible. The same goes for attorneys.

However, there’s one tip you may want to keep in mind. It’s only natural to want to look for someone who has years to experience. But with that experience comes a hefty price tag. If you’re planning on asking your real estate attorney about something simple, maybe you might want to consider hiring an attorney  with only a few years of real world experience for a cheaper price. But If you’re dealing with something complex, you probably want someone with more years of practice.

How long have you been practicing real estate law in my state?

Remember that real estate laws are not the same around the country — they vary by state. This is an important question you want to ask the attorney to make sure they’re aware of the laws in your specific state.

Probate Lawyer vs. Criminal Lawyer: What’s the Difference?

If you need help with the legal stuff related to your estate, such as wills, trusts, or real estate, you need a probate lawyer.  

 A probate lawyer knows how to deal with the probate process, which is when you must file papers in the probate court, find out everything about the probate case, and show proof in the probate court.  

 A criminal lawyer is not the same as a probate lawyer, because a criminal lawyer helps you with criminal defense, criminal case investigation, and showing proof in the criminal court.  

The main difference between a probate lawyer and a criminal lawyer is that the probate lawyer helps you with estate law, whereas the criminal lawyer deals with criminal law. 

What is the difference between a probate lawyer and a criminal lawyer? 

A probate lawyer is a lawyer who deals with estate planning and asset distribution after an individual’s death. A criminal lawyer, on the other side, is a lawyer who deals with the prosecution or defense of criminal offenses. A probate lawyer knows how to plan your estate, make your will, and set up your trusts. A criminal lawyer is specializes in criminal law such as rape, murder, robbery, etc.  

A probate lawyer has the training and the license to assist people with their estate matters, such as wills, trusts, and planning. A criminal lawyer also has the training and the certification to assist people with criminal matters, such as defense, prosecution, and law. 

 Probate lawyers and criminal lawyers are different in several ways, such as: 

Nature of their cases: 

Probate lawyers deal with civil matters involving the distribution of property after death, while criminal lawyers deal with criminal matters involving the violation of laws and regulations. 

Type of clients they serve: 

Probate lawyers serve individuals or families who need help with estate planning or administration, while criminal lawyers serve individuals or organizations who are accused or suspected of committing crimes. 

Type of courts they appear in:  

Probate lawyers appear in probate courts, which are specialized courts that handle matters related to wills, estates, and guardianships, while criminal lawyers appear in criminal courts, which are general courts that handle matters related to crimes and punishments. 

The final say 

A probate lawyer is someone who helps with estate issues. Families hire them to help with the probate process and to make sure their estate is managed properly.  

A criminal lawyer, on the other hand, is someone who helps with criminal law cases. Individuals and corporations hire them to defend them in court.  

Probate lawyers and criminal lawyers are the two different types of lawyers that have different roles and responsibilities, areas of expertise, types of clients, types of courts, and types of outcomes. 

If you are facing some family disputes regarding estate planning, and are looking for a probate lawyer in New York to set things right – you have come to the right place. You can call for free consultation on the given number.

Medical Malpractice Claim

When illness or injury forces you to see a physician or to go to the hospital, you can generally be assured that the doctor’s years of experience and training will result in excellent treatment of your ailment. But physicians, nurses and other health care providers are human; they can, and do, make mistakes.

When these mistakes lead to injury, disability or other damages, it may be necessary to pursue a medical malpractice claim to hold the health care provider and the facility that employed him or her accountable for the harm you suffered. Due to the complexity of these matters — medical records must be examined in great detail, expert witnesses should be retained and extensive documentation needs to be collected — it is imperative to turn to a firm that has the experienced attorneys and financial resources to successfully resolve medical negligence cases.

A Pre-Eminent Injury Firm With A History Of Success

Godosky & Gentile is a recognized leader in the field of medical injury. The firm has been named as a Tier One medical malpractice firm (highest ranking awarded) by U.S. News & World Report’s Best Law Firms rankings. Our accomplished team includes a noted law professor and numerous other attorneys who are routinely asked to lecture on medical malpractice and other complex legal topics at law schools throughout the country.

We have achieved some of the largest recoveries in New York’s history for previous medical malpractice clients. These successful recoveries include:

A record $65 million verdict     in favor of a woman who was forced to have her intestines removed due to     medical negligence.

$10 million verdict for a     man who had most of his stomach removed due to a doctor’s error in     misdiagnosing stomach cancer.

$6 million settlement for     a 50-year-old man who suffered massive loss of small and large intestines     due to a failure to diagnose a clotted artery.

$1.7 million verdict in a     wrongful death medical malpractice action where a man died as a result of     a surgical mistake.

Permanent Injuries And Wrongful Death

Where permanent conditions or fatal injuries occur, almost any legal action will be aggressively defended by the medical providers in question and their insurance companies. This is especially true in cases involving birth injuries (such as Erb’s palsy), anesthesia errors and other situations that cause extensive, life-altering damages. In these cases, the litigation experience our lawyers possess is absolutely essential to your case’s chances for success.

For those in the bustling metropolis of New York, the search for a reliable and experienced probate attorney can be a daunting task. This article delves into the vital role of a New York probate attorney, exploring their expertise, the probate process, and the importance of securing seasoned legal guidance in estate matters.

Understanding the Role of a New York Probate Attorney:

A New York probate attorney is a legal professional with specialized knowledge in handling the intricacies of probate, the legal process of administering an individual's estate after their passing. These attorneys play a crucial role in guiding executors, heirs, and beneficiaries through the often complex and multifaceted procedures associated with settling an estate.

Expertise in New York Probate Laws:

New York's probate laws can be intricate and nuanced, necessitating a deep understanding of the legal landscape. A proficient probate attorney in the state is well-versed in the specific statutes, regulations, and court procedures governing the probate process. Their expertise ensures that the estate settlement aligns with legal requirements, minimizing the risk of disputes and complications.

Navigating the Probate Process:

The probate process involves validating a deceased individual's will, appointing an executor, identifying and appraising assets, settling debts, and distributing remaining assets to heirs and beneficiaries. A skilled New York probate attorney serves as a guide throughout this process, offering invaluable support in:

Will Validation: Ensuring the legality and validity of the deceased's will is a critical first step. The probate attorney scrutinizes the document to confirm its authenticity and compliance with New York's legal requirements.

Appointment of Executor: The probate attorney assists in the appointment of an executor, the individual responsible for administering the estate. This involves navigating the court proceedings and obtaining the necessary legal approvals.

Asset Identification and Appraisal: Thoroughly identifying and appraising the deceased's assets is crucial for an accurate distribution. The probate attorney works closely with financial institutions, appraisers, and other professionals to ascertain the estate's value.

Debt Settlement: Addressing outstanding debts is an essential aspect of the probate process. The attorney helps navigate negotiations with creditors, ensuring fair and lawful resolution.

Distribution of Assets: The final step involves distributing the remaining assets to heirs and beneficiaries according to the terms outlined in the will. The probate attorney ensures compliance with legal requirements and addresses any disputes that may arise.

The Importance of Legal Guidance:

Engaging the services of a New York probate attorney is not just about navigating legal complexities; it's about mitigating stress and ensuring a smooth transition during a challenging time. Here are key reasons why legal guidance is indispensable in the probate process:

Expertise in New York Probate Laws: A local probate attorney possesses in-depth knowledge of New York's unique legal framework, ensuring that the estate settlement adheres to state-specific regulations.

Preventing Disputes: Estate settlements can be contentious, especially if there are disagreements among heirs or beneficiaries. A probate attorney acts as a mediator, helping to prevent and resolve disputes that may arise during the probate process.

Efficiency and Timeliness: The probate process can be time-consuming, and delays may exacerbate stress for all parties involved. A skilled attorney expedites the process, ensuring that deadlines are met and the estate settlement progresses efficiently.

Comprehensive Asset Management: Managing and distributing assets involves meticulous attention to detail. A probate attorney provides comprehensive oversight, minimizing the risk of oversights or errors in asset distribution.

Reducing Executor Liability: Executors carry a significant responsibility in overseeing the probate process. A probate attorney provides guidance to executors, reducing their personal liability and ensuring that they fulfill their duties in accordance with the law.

Conclusion:

In the heart of New York, where the pace is fast and expectations are high, the role of a probate attorney is crucial in providing a steady hand during the challenging probate process.
