Mintz & Geftic Law Firm is here with some BREAKING NEWS–there’s a big election going down this week! Kidding, of course. In fact, even a  New Jersey resident currently living under a rock has reportedly been complaining about this election getting too much coverage.

The choice for president is clearly the most discussed element of the 2020 election (and with good reason). However, in some cases…

You (hopefully) hit your brakes just in time, avoiding a major accident. You then utter to yourself (or maybe shout out the window), “you could have killed somebody driving like that!”. Perhaps you  also included an expletive or two. Well, that statement is even more true now than…
