About this listen

 On today’s show, we break down a family court case where a mediator helped the parties reach an agreement without lawyers, but after a judge suggested changing the wording, one party later claimed she was coerced and bullied into signing, raising questions about mediation, consent, and fairness in court agreements. We also look at the Venezuelan boat strikes and explain how admiralty law and wrongful death lawsuits work when the United States is the plaintiff. We take a call from a listener about trees on a neighboring property bending over into his yard and what legal rights and responsibilities exist in that situation, followed by another caller with questions about workers compensation. Finally, we dive into a damaged seawall dispute between neighbors and unpack the “common enemy doctrine,” what it is, and how it applies to shared property and water damage issues.
