COPAcetic?

October 30, 2019 by Hanson Law Firm

This might come as a surprise, but San Francisco has a housing problem. I know, I know, sad but true. It’s hard to find a place if you make a decent living, but if you’re poor or even middle class? Probably looking at a couple thousand a month to live in a dorm. Sharing a… CONTINUE

Where’s the Beef?

October 23, 2019 by Hanson Law Firm

What’s the first thing your parents tell you about contracts? Cast your mind back to opening your first bank account.

Revenge of the Modifications

October 21, 2019 by Hanson Law Firm

Who remembers 2008? People thought we were all gonna die because they switched on the Large Hadron Collider, Breaking Bad premiered, Barack Obama was elected, the financial system collapsed and led to a worldwide recession that ruined people’s lives and that we’re just barely getting out of. Good times. Wait. That last thing? That wasn’t… CONTINUE

Who’s Got the Power?

October 2, 2019 by Hanson Law Firm

🎶 It’s getting’, it’s gettin’, it’s gettin’ kinda hectic… Today’s entry has a soundtrack. The situation is bizarre from the outset.

FHAntastic Rulings and Where to Find Them

September 4, 2019 by Hanson Law Firm

2019 marks ninety years since the Great Depression began. The various financial crises our nation has weathered in the recent past weren’t easy, by any means, but a little research into the Depression is enough to make the past feel truly alien.

Dr Strangetimes or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Climate Change

August 21, 2019 by Hanson Law Firm

How’s that for a provocative title? People with one brain cell pinging around their skull will tell you there’s nothing to worry about. That the world’s always cycled through periods of climate change. They’ll tell you that the planet’s always survived the upheavals. And they’re right, of course. To quote George Carlin, “the planet has… CONTINUE
