Had a few people join me for my first Fireside Chat/Ask a Lawyer program, and I am so very thankful for their attendance and interesting questions.

Fortunately for anyone not able to attend, the meeting was recorded and I will make the video available to all to watch at your leisure. Covered important topics including the warranty of habitability, constructive eviction and mechanic’s liens, all valuable topics for landlords, tenants and contractors to know.

Please join me next month for Episode II, topics to be announced at a later time. Thank you!

Dear Summit County Neighbor,

In our law firm's first-ever episode of Ask a Lawyer, Summit County local attorney Deepan Dutta, Esq., discusses legal issues concerned with residential leases and landlord-tenant disputes in Summit County, as well as explaining how contractors can use a real estate instrument called a "mechanic's lien" (contrary to how it sounds, it's not just for mechanics) that allows for contractors to receive equity value for labor done to improve a property, but never paid for by a property owner who breaks their contract.

Building Hope, a non-profit dedicated to shoring up Summit County's mental health infrastructure and connecting residents to counseling resources, has published its February newsletter and it features a column written by me about the subject of addiction. Check it out at the link posted here:

"Was it a surprise that the very people hardest hit economically by COVID-19, and having to work the hardest to survive it, were also the ones drinking the most and having the most mental health problems? Nope. Did we have a plan in place to deal with those problems when they inevitably reared their ugly head in the light of post-quarantine day? Also, nope.
So, where the state has failed to have the foresight, wherewithal, or simple common sense to anticipate this ghastly pandemic episode, and there resulting side effects such as alcohol and drug addiction, we regular folks will need to be there for each other."

When the goal is stated simply enough - test as many people as possible as quickly as possible - the private sector can do things a lot better than the state.

I believe in its ability to solve the headline crisis of our generation: The COVID-19 pandemic.
