When mediate.com recently created this homepage for RPS Coach, it seemed like a good time to reflect on my amazing journey with this bot – and others’ too.I invited people to submit testimonials describing their experiences using RPS Coach, which are posted on the website.  Their responses prompted me to think about the last 18 months of experimenting with AI and collaborating with Coach.It was not part of a grand plan.  I attended a presentation by Susan Guthrie about using AI in mediation and, at the end of the program, people talked informally about using AI to write. …

Expungement and Record Sealing in Arizona: What’s Actually Available
Arizona does not have general expungement. If you have been told your criminal record can simply be erased in Arizona, that is not quite right. Arizona law provides several different forms of record relief, and the differences matter when deciding what you may qualify for and what the result can accomplish.
Three remedies are commonly grouped together under the word “expungement,” even though they work differently:

  • A set-aside under A.R.S. § 13-905, which can set aside the judgment of guilt and release a person from certain penalties and disabilities resulting from

Zombie debt is an old debt that resurfaces after years of little or no collection activity. You may receive a call, letter, or lawsuit about an account you thought was resolved, forgotten, or too old to collect. A debt collector may still contact you about an old debt in some circumstances, but that does not necessarily mean the debt is legally enforceable. Before making a payment or agreeing to a repayment plan, it is important to determine the debt’s age, status, and applicable legal rules. What Is Zombie Debt? Zombie debt generally refers to an old debt that has resurfaced…

A business creditor may pursue your personal assets in some circumstances, but business ownership does not automatically make you personally liable. Your liability may depend on your business structure, personal guarantees, and how you handled business and personal finances. When Can Business Debt Become Personal Debt? Business debt and personal debt are generally separate when a business is properly structured as an LLC or corporation. However, that separation is not absolute. You may become personally responsible if you operate as a sole proprietor, personally guarantee a business debt, co-sign an obligation, or engage in conduct that creates a basis for…

Falling behind on a private student loan can lead to collection calls, a lawsuit, and potentially wage garnishment. However, a private lender generally cannot begin garnishing your wages simply because you missed payments. The creditor typically must take legal steps before it can obtain the authority to garnish your paycheck. Can Private Student Loans Garnish Wages? Yes, a private student lender may be able to garnish your wages, but it generally must first obtain a court judgment against you. Unlike certain federal student loan collection procedures, private lenders typically cannot garnish wages administratively without going through the court process. A…

Dolly Parton passed away yesterday at 80, and by last night my feed was already full of thoughtful quotes her fans refer to as “Dollyisms, repeated so many times they are remembered. That happens with people who spend seven decades telling the truth in a way nobody minds hearing. You don’t get quoted that much by accident. You get quoted that much because you kept saying things that were simple on the surface and heavy underneath, and people kept needing to hear them.

The line of hers I keep coming back to is “Find out who you are and do…

Merchant Cash Advances for Seasonal Businesses: Is It Worth It?

Seasonal businesses come in many shapes and forms. Think for example, a landscaping business that requires a summer to operate. Seasonal businesses therefore operate under a completely different financial tempo in comparison to a year-round operation. Also, because the business is seasonal the revenue in turn fluctuates immensely. Managing that cycle is one of the biggest challenges for industries such as retail, hospitality, agriculture, tourism and construction.Because of this jagged income pattern, many seasonal businesses are forced to look for quick financing options during off-season periods. One of the most…

Many drivers assume there is a legal THC limit for driving similar to the 0.08 BAC limit for alcohol. In reality, the answer is much more complicated. There is no universal federal standard, and states use different approaches when prosecuting marijuana-related DUI offenses.

Arizona has some of the country’s strictest marijuana DUI laws, and being charged with one is frightening and confusing — especially when the rules around THC are so unclear.

But a charge is not a conviction, and being arrested does not mean the state can prove its case.

If you have been arrested for a marijuana DUI,…
Continue Reading What Is the Legal Limit for THC While Driving?

The short answer is no. Traditional alcohol breathalyzers cannot detect THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana. 

Instead, Arizona law enforcement relies on other forms of evidence when investigating suspected marijuana DUI offenses, including field sobriety testing, blood testing, and observations made during the traffic stop. Arizona Revised Statutes § 28-1381 governs DUI offenses, including those involving marijuana and other drugs.

If you have been arrested for a marijuana DUI, contact Rosenstein Law Group immediately.

A marijuana DUI investigation looks very different from an alcohol DUI investigation. Unlike alcohol, no roadside device can accurately measure a driver’s level of marijuana impairment. 

Instead, law enforcement officers rely on a combination of observations, field sobriety tests, drug recognition evaluations, and chemical testing when they suspect someone is driving under the influence of marijuana.

If you were arrested for a marijuana DUI, the evidence against you should be carefully examined before you make any decisions about your case.
