Earning a JD and becoming a celebrity aren’t quite as different as you might think. Both usually require that applicants pay their dues while flirting with homelessness, both place a heavy emphasis on monologuing, and both involve pretending to read manuscripts.
Like so many Hollywood stars, Broderick “Steve” Harvey had a long road to success, even weathering Hollywood’s right of passage: living out of a beat-up car in the ’80s.
But after misreading the results of the Miss Universe pageant, calling Asian men undateable, and poking fun of victims in the Flint water crisis -- he’s an international star worth of over $100 million.
A recent report from the Seattle Times pointed out that motor vehicle accidents across the US are on an upward trend, while decreasing here in the state of Washington.
That said, King County still has more accidents per year than anywhere else in the state.
Celebrity child support payments make for an easy target. It was one of the first articles we wrote for this blog, and considering A-listers are popping out little ones about as often as they’re drafting up divorce settlements, it’ll probably be a recurring topic.
SPOILER ALERT: The Golden State Warriors just won the 2017 NBA finals. It took 99 games and around 80 hard-fought hours to get there, and although that seems like a lot, just remember that their season is stretched out over eight months. That leaves a lot of time for injuries off the court.
Few movies enjoy as much notoriety as the 1995 box office disaster Waterworld. It’s an indefensibly bad movie that somehow conned its studio into more than tripling the size of the original budget during production.

We’ve previously written about Charlie Chaplin’s family troubles in the courtroom, but even with his 11 children, his brood can’t compete with the families on this list.
The Buckingham, LaGrandeur & Williams firm has handled dozens of motor vehicle and motorcycle accident cases across the state of Washington. They’re a horrible thing to be subjected to, but if there’s one thing we’ve learned it’s that trying to find a silver lining is one of many potential coping mechanisms.
We started writing this blog based on two factors: 1) family law is a serious issue, and 2) we are not serious lawyers. Sure, everyone on our team has law degrees from fancy schools, in total we have over 70 years of combined experience practicing law in Renton, and the Buckingham, LaGrandeur & Williams library is full of purportedly important books -- but our team is about as somber as a Vegas chapel when the clock strikes midnight.
It’s been just over 100 days since The Donald became president of the United States of America. And in honor of this arbitrary milestone, we’ve created our own meaningless measurement: The number of days into a president’s term before he or she slips and falls.
