We are back to the purple tier in the County of San Diego, in fact we’ve been in purple ever since Governor Newsom rescinded the stay-at home order in California. As you probably know by now, by being in the purple tier this allows some businesses to open, including outdoor dining, hair salons and other services. However, many businesses remain closed, or limited by outdoor operations. So, how do we get to the next tier? I’ve always argued this color-coded system is fla...

We are hearing stories locally about people going to the hospital with COVID-19 and being told to return home with no treatment. If they get worse, they return to the hospital for treatment. This is opposite of what many frontline doctors, after treating thousands of patients, are telling us is the best way to treat COVID-19 patients. A doctor friend of mine recently sent me an interview of another doctor in New York, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko. Zelenko has boasted a near 100%...

In California real estate, sellers have an obligation to complete two documents to aid in their required disclosures to the prospective buyers. The first is the real estate transfer disclosure statement and the second is the seller property questionnaire. Both forms are a ser...
