Your Questions about Georgia Workers' Compensation Answered
Most people probably have the notion that their attorney went to high school, undergrad, law school, and began practicing right away. That is not necessarily the case.
After I received my undergraduate degree at Ohio Wesleyan University, I attended Johnson & Wales University, where I received a degree in culinary arts. In fact, I cooked professionally for some time before deciding to go on to law school.
Johnson & Wales University is far more than a culinary institution. (more…)

A few months ago the attorneys at the Ramos Law Firm attended the annual Workers’ Compensation seminar on St. Simons Island, Georgia. Among the usual updates on case law and MSA’s was a most remarkable lecture on ethics.
The speaker was Richard Pimentel, whose life story inspired the motion picture Music Inside. His life (more…)

Everyone has the right to vote and RLF’s associates are aiding the cause. That is the motto of the Election Protection coalition and an idea that all Americans can support. The nonpartisan Election Protection coalition is made up of more than 100 local, state, and national partners who work to ensure that all voters have an equal opportunity to participate in the political process. The coalition is unique because it does not focus on the political horse race but instead focuses on the voters.
This election season the coalition will insure the fundamental right to vote by using national hotlines, a website, and voter protection programs, across the country. The coalition provides Americans with comprehensive voter information and advice on how they can make sure their vote counts. Citizens and organizations with election questions can contact knowledgeable coalition staff at 1-866-OUR-VOTE and 1-888-Ve-Y-Vota for answers.
The Election Protection coalition will rely on the efforts of more than 10,000 volunteers to meet its goals. The coalition will use these volunteers to enter data into an election-irregularity tracking database, field hotline questions, and as mobile legal staff on Election Day. Volunteers who are legally trained (paralegals, law students, and lawyers) can make a special contribution by lending their skills and legal knowledge to this effort. Get involved!
Those who wish to get involved, please contact Tiffany K. Yamini or Adriana Sola Capifali ; visit www.866ourvote.com; or calling 1-866-OUR-VOTE to get more information.
On September 6, 2008, a large group of attorneys and other participants gathered at Druid Hills High School in Atlanta, Georgia. For this event, there were no suits and ties. Rather, at this event, running shoes and shorts were the attire of the day.
The event was the Run for Kids’ Chance 2008 – a 5k run/2m walk fundraiser for Kids’ Chance, a foundation dedicated to providing scholarships for the children of seriously injured or deceased persons due to work related accidents.
The field of runners, we were told, had more than doubled from the year before.
My participation was as a two-headed walker. My 5 year old daughter, who wanted very much to participate in the race, decided that she would rather “ride” for the duration than walk. As far as I could tell, there were no other two-headed participants, but we received no prize.
All kidding aside it was wonderful to see so many colleagues out on a Saturday morning to support this very worthy cause. It is very important for those of us who practice in the area of Workers’ Compensation to recognize that the benefits provided are often not enough and that there is more that can be done than litigation alone. I only hope that the participation will continue to grow next year.
