Hey there, if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably spent the last few months scrolling through headlines, wondering if the world’s spinning faster or if it’s just the coffee kicking in too hard. It’s mid-September 2025 already, and honestly, it feels like we blinked and the year flipped the script. Back in January, I was…
Hey there, picture this: It’s a rainy Tuesday afternoon in 2018, and I’m knee-deep in a corporate fraud case that’s spiraling out of control.

Picture this: It’s the summer of 2018, and my wife and I are finally taking our two kids—then ages 6 and 9—on that dream Disney World trip we’d been saving for. We’d splurged on park hopper tickets, character dinners, and a suite at one of those swanky resorts. But on day two, our youngest spikes…
Picture this: It’s early 2020, and the world slams shut like a forgotten suitcase.
