    1. The ever-evolving law regarding dog bite litigation: Can the dog owner's landlord be liable for the injuries caused by the tenant's vicious dog? You might be surprised. 2. Crystal is intoxicated when she climbs behind the wheel of a car, leaves her parents' home, and drives right into a serious car accident (in which, unfortunately, Crystal perishes). the other injured parties survive. They sue Crystal's estate AND her parents. Can the parents be held liable for Crystal's acts in this matter? 3. Another trip to Housing Court: Can a Section 8 tenant be evicted after he files a complaint against the landlord with the Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities (CHRO)? He claims "discrimination." He claims "retaliation." We looked at what happened at Court. Some valuable information for both landlords and tenants. 4. Erica hates that her neighbors, Michael and Barbara, have a badly diseased oak tree near the property line. so, she sues them and seeks a court order that they remove it. What's a "private nuisance?" and what's "mootness?" One more case with neighbors invoking the powers of the Court to stick it to each other. We reveal what happened and what we can all learn from it.

Lastly, we delve into a serious animal neglect case in Connecticut involving multiple animals, highlighting that cruel neglect or mistreatment of animals is considered a felony under state law.

    Today’s discussion focuses on estate planning, including an in depth exploration of what works, what doesn’t, and key legal considerations. The topic covers the distinction between probate court assets (which go through the court process) and non probate court assets (which bypass the court). An example case is provided: a woman with a will that divides her estate among five people. Two of these people move in to care for her and convince her that the others don’t care and want to steal from her. As a result, a new will is created, leaving everything to the two caretakers. This leads to a will contest and raises the issue of Dependent Relative Revocation, a legal concept where a new will may be challenged due to undue influence or mistakes in the revocation process.
