Philosophy

Wherever there are groups of people, there will undoubtedly be disagreements precipitated by some form of a power struggle. Ongoing conflict is a precursor to ongoing stress, which can have high financial, emotional and physical costs. Decisions that ultimately impact others should be viewed from a more proactive perspective rather than taking a reactive stance. Using this approach can deter issues which can be amicably resolved before they become insurmountable.

 Business failures or closings are a direct result of mismanagement mostly due to profits pre-empted by customer conflicts and staff disputes. Such ongoing issues eventually result in sales deficits. When organizations sit stagnant while trying to determine which projects to initiate, primary objectives can quickly become secondary to personal quests. Schools continue to be unsuccessful In spite of the well known mission of the federal "No Child Left Behind" policy. Students still fail because of academic and/or behavioral deficiencies. People are sometimes overwhelmed by situations that seem beyond their ability to control. They usually haven't really considered all their options for making necessary changes, or they mainly need help getting motivated to take action.

Conflict can damage relationships and destroy trust. Administrators who make decisions without giving due process or giving just consideration to other folks rights are abusing their authority.

Racial conflict, including conflict between different races and conflict within races, has paralyzed generations of people for centuries. There are different theories as to how, when, and why this phenomenon exists. But A strong desire to control others is the main culprit and core of such behavior. Racial, gender and generational differences comprise what is often referred to as "The Cultural Divide." These three main groups are further complicated by numerous subgroups, such as religious and political affiliations.

Not All Problems Can be Negotiated

Some experts say everything is negotiable, but I must disagree. Sometimes there simply is no gray area. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. Sometimes you just have to stop delaying the inevitable and get on with it. Not everyone will accept the abuse and will decide to fight back.

Finding an Attorney

Filing legal charges can become the only solution to an ongoing issue in business, at work, school, home, or anywhere. Finding the right lawyer can be difficult, especially if he or she can't be trusted to properly handle your case or if they set their fees out of reach.

If your case is set aside, ignored, or forgotten, the first person to suffer the consequences is you, the client. Every now and then, the lawyer has to pay the piper. And If your case was mismanaged by your attorney, you have the option to file a complaint with the state bar association.

Examples of charges can include such things as the attorney's failure to communicate with you and/or the courts in a timely manner, and his or her lack of competence. But by this time your case has already been lost, and your wallet has already been hijacked. So you may, or may not, feel avenged.

Knowing that you could end up with the short end of the stick should be enough warning for you to want to prevent and resolve conflicts that could eventually lead to court petitions, lengthy hearings, expensive attorney fees and all the other inconveniences that come with the territory.
