I recently stumbled upon a social media site on which two nurses were discussing submissions to their question, “What is the biggest nursing mistake you have ever seen?” The answers are disturbing but no surprise to anyone who has looked into the amount of medical malpractice out there. These are the things doctors and nurses talk about among themselves when they don’t believe any of the public is listening.

What Goes On Behind The Veil Of Secrecy? 2

Among the mistakes submitted to these nurses:

A nurse was ordered to give a patient a stool softener. The softener came in…

In an Arizona bankruptcy, you can include certain income tax debts for discharge, but only if you meet applicable rules. Arizona follows the federal bankruptcy code, which means your key considerations are the type of tax debt and its age. 

Can you file bankruptcy on back taxes? The short answer is that tax debts older than three years may qualify for discharge under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13.

Stone Rose Law bankruptcy attorneys are experienced in navigating the intersection between federal tax laws and how they affect your tax debts and other tax liabilities.

To speak with one of our…

Sometimes you can find yourself “underwater” on a secured loan, owing more on your balance than the property is worth. For some kinds of property, under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to address this problem by reducing the balance owed to the value of the property. This mechanism is called a “cramdown.”

In combination with the debt-repayment plan that is integral to a Chapter 13 case, a cramdown can help you keep property, such as your car or home, while reducing your total debt.

Stone Rose Law represents Arizona residents who need debt relief, including bankruptcy.

How long after bankruptcy can I get a car loan? You can apply for a car loan immediately after filing. Some dealerships offer exclusive financing to bankruptcy filers and will have a vehicle ready to close the next day after you file. 

However, favorable financing terms usually require additional time after filing to rebuild your credit.  In Chapter 13 cases, you can apply during your 3- to 5-year plan, but only with the bankruptcy court’s advance approval.

Whether you use Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy can make a difference in some important ways, including your ability to get auto…

Article Summary

  • Paraplegia car accident settlement values are often much higher than ordinary injury claims because the injury may permanently affect mobility, work, independence, housing, medical care, and daily life.
  • The average settlement for paraplegia after a car accident depends on injury severity, lifetime care needs, fault, insurance coverage, and available evidence.
  • A personal injury lawyer can help calculate paraplegia injury compensation by reviewing medical costs, future care, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and the long-term impact of the injury.

Paraplegia is one of the most serious injuries that can result from a car accident. Unlike many crash injuries…

Financial troubles are often at the root of both bankruptcy and divorce. If you are contemplating bankruptcy relief as your marital relationship is coming to an end, you may be wondering whether to wait until after the divorce is finalized before filing your petition for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

As we will see, there is no simple answer to this question. What the best choice is for you when considering divorce in light of the bankruptcy process depends on multiple considerations that intersect with each other in different ways based on your unique situation, which can be influenced…

Being charged with a felony in Arizona is a serious matter under any circumstances, including when the charge technically falls into the lowest category. A Class 6 felony sits at the bottom of Arizona’s felony scale but can still lead to jail time and substantial fines, not to mention the potential collateral consequences that may impact your freedom for the foreseeable future. 
Since Class 6 felonies cover a wide range of offenses, many people are surprised to learn they are facing felony-level charges. If you are dealing with a charge like this, learning about what is at stake can help…

Can bankruptcy stop the repossession of a vehicle? In most cases, yes — at least temporarily. If you have fallen into default on your car loan and are facing repossession, the bankruptcy automatic stay can protect you from a repossession before it begins. 

How filing for bankruptcy works with repossessions in Arizona depends in part on what kind of bankruptcy petition you use (Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy) and whether the lender has already taken possession of the vehicle.

In this article, our bankruptcy attorneys at Stone Rose Law discuss the effect of bankruptcy filing on car and…

When an estate is asset-poor and claim-heavy, a personal representative often faces an uncomfortable choice: fight every claim to the last dollar, or cut a deal that protects what little value remains.
The Arizona Court of Appeals’ 2026 decision in Gonzalez v. Fiduciary Solutions is a clean illustration of how much room Arizona law gives a personal representative to make that call, and how hard it is for an unhappy heir to unwind a settlement on appeal. Division One affirmed the probate court’s approval of a settlement that handed the estate’s only meaningful asset to one heir, over the strenuous…

Nobody puts “number of good friends” on a balance sheet, but maybe they should. Over a career and a lifetime, the relationships you build and protect turn out to matter most in life. I have seen people reach extraordinary professional heights only to look around and realize they did it largely alone and that the summit wasn’t nearly as satisfying as they imagined it would be. The people who seem genuinely fulfilled, not just accomplished, are almost always surrounded by real friendships built over time, through shared experience, honesty, and a mutual commitment to showing up. These types of friendships…

A bit of exciting news from Santa Clara Law: our conflict resolution program is becoming the Daley Center for Conflict Resolution, thanks to a $5 million gift from alumna Dorian Daley that will endow the Center.

You cannot get a motorcycle license in Arizona while your driver’s license is suspended or revoked due to a DUI.

Your Arizona driver’s license is a single credential that covers every kind of motor vehicle you operate. Hence, a DUI conviction affects your right to ride a motorcycle in the same way it affects your right to drive a car. You cannot bypass a DUI suspension by applying for a separate motorcycle license; Arizona simply does not work that way.

The good news is that once you complete your suspension or revocation period, satisfy any ignition interlock and SR-22 obligations,…
