If arrested, is it a different world?  What about those credit card offers?  Student loans -- What can debt really do to your future?

The day to day considerations of practicing as a Medical Malpractice attorney, and why attorneys can't handle some very righteous cases.  Host Jeff Hayden welcomes San Francisco attorney Scott Righthand, and Mill Valley attorney James Bostwick, both of whom handle catastrophic injury cases.  In addition, James Bostwick has authored "Acts of Omission," a mesmerizing tale that realistically depicts the difficult choices, high risk, ethical dilemmas, anguish and euphoria of everyday life for attorneys who represent victims of negligence.  Questions for Jeff and his guests?

  Tonight, on Your Legal Rights, we look behind the curtain and discuss the Department of Motor Vehicles, both what they do and how best you can work with the Department.  Just how should you deal with a DUI, or ID documents; perhaps approach your grandfather’s own suspension, due to advanced age, medical condition, confusion?  YLR host Jeff Hayden welcomes two guests, attorneys each with differing perspectives: Nafiz Ahmed, Ahmed and Sukaram, Redwood City, CA, and David Uthman, Law Offices of David Uthman & San Francisco Traffic Law Clinic, both in San Francisco, CA.
