Ashley Paulsen called this afternoon requesting an initial interview with you regarding a family dispute over a will and her desire to obtain permanent custody of her deceased brother’s children. About two months ago her brother and her brother’s wife were killed in a car accident leaving two small children, ages 5 and 7. There is a dispute between the brother’s family and the wife’s family as to how the estate should be divided and as to who should take custody of the children.

Steven Burton, the owner of P.J. Mack's, has called seeking your legal advice. Recently a child was injured in his store when a clothes rack collapsed. It is not entirely clear whether the child was climbing on the rack and caused it to tip over, or whether it was overloaded and fell as the child walked by. Either way, the child broke his arm and has apparently been emotionally affected by the incident. Steven wants the little boy to be taken care of, but he doesn’t want it to appear as if the accident was Steven’s fault.
