Private Investigator Guest Post - Helping Myself

Posted on Wednesday, February 08, 2012


A strange thing happened to me the other day, when I went for my annual checkup with my cardiologist.  He came into the room and began asking me the very same questions he has asked me every year for the past ten years.  Have you recently experienced any shortness of breath?  Have you noticed any swelling in your legs or ankles?  Have you experienced any periods of dizziness, etc.?  Then, he asked if anything had occurred over the past year, health wise, that I thought he should be aware of?  Like many, I couldn’t think of a thing, at the time.  Later, I began to think of things and wondered if he would have wanted to know about them?  Would these few, seemingly insignificant things, have had an effect on his decisions regarding my health care? READ MORE

The Sugar Jacket

Posted on Thursday, October 13, 2011


One of my favorite television programs is Modern Family.  In one episode, the character, Gloria, coaxed her husband into giving advice on the "Good Dog, Bad Dog Training System."  Guillermo, the entrepreneur, described his business idea with honesty and excitement.  The system was fatally flawed, however: it rewarded the dog for being good or for being bad.  For being good, the dog got a bacon-flavored treat; for being bad, it got a bland treat.  After listening to the pitch, Gloria's husband, Jay, bluntly told Guillermo the idea was not good.  The would-be businessman wept.  Gloria told Jay that he should have been nice and "put on the sugar jacket" when he commented on the plan. READ MORE

Your Final Destination

Posted on Thursday, October 13, 2011


I was in an airport recently and watched passengers deplane from a flight that was very, very behind schedule.  The passengers were panicked, afraid they would miss their connecting flights. A helpful airline employee tried to help them on their way by asking, "What is your final destination?" One passenger replied, "Heaven!"  He knew where he was going to end up, regardless of the obstacles the world presented.   READ MORE

If you are involved in a family law case, you might have to testify as many as three or four separate times in various proceedings. There are simple yet very important things you should remember about giving testimony.  If you don't, you could find yourself in major trouble. READ MORE

The Longer Arm of Mississippi's Alienation of Affection Law

Posted on Thursday, March 24, 2011


A recent Mississippi Supreme Court opinion makes it easier for plaintiffs to pursue alienation of affection suits against people who live outside of Mississippi, even if the adulterous relationship occurred in another state.  In the Knight v. Woodfield case, Eric Woodfield and his wife, Dokka, lived in Long Beach, Misissippi.  During the parties' marriage, Dokka commuted from her home in Harrison County, Mississippi to her job in Louisiana.  READ MORE

Not the Same

Posted on Friday, May 25, 2012


It has been a while since I sat down to write a blog article.  Who would of thought being the executive director of a new,  Mississippi non-profit adoption agency would be so time consuming?  But I digress (more on that later)… I have a friend and client who is going through a divorce.  He is a great guy who made a few mistakes.  Actually, in the grand scheme of mistakes that a person can make in a marriage, his were relatively minor offenses, but his wife, a hard-charging, type-A personality, cannot stand that her perfect little idea of a life may not have a starched shirt and slick, silk tie.   I grieve for him, but I grieve for her just as much.   I want to reach out to her and tell her that if your idea of living is measured relationally to those around you as opposed to what springs from inside, inhabiting the spiritual realm, there will never be a sense of satisfaction, but what do I know, she is going through one divorce and I have been through about 500. READ MORE
