Legal research & consulting - Pennsylvania Courts and the United States Federal Courts
As a researcher I serve as a "consultant" for you. I am not a lawyer (a graduate of a law school) nor am I an "attorney"
(a lawyer who has passed the bar exam and can represent you in courts).I can conduct legal research and provide you with current case law if you are in litigation or preparing for future litigation in the Pennsylvania state courts or the United States Federal Courts. I can guide you through the Pennsylvania Code and/or the US Code when you are "stumped" or confused. I can teach you how to take legal action on your own, "pro se," without an expensive attorney. It can be very expensive to hire an attorney in the USA, it can cost $150 to $600 an hour. I can help you get started for much less. I can teach you how to fill out the forms, how to write legal papers -- BUT I am not permitted to do it for you! If you actually need an attorney who can represent you then I can help you find a qualified attorney for you in your particular situation. American law is divided into two areas, CIVIL and CRIMINAL law. Since the 1700's the American legal system has been based upon the British legal system in 49 states, but the Napoleonic Code is used in the state of Louisianna. Let me help you achieve your goal at the lowest possible expense. However you proceed it is very important that you do your research carefully and pay attention to details before you file any legal papers. |
Appraisals for Books, Posters, MemorabiliaMy antiquarian book business since 1979 is HARVEY ABRAMS - BOOKS and I specialize in the Olympic Games, History of Sport, Physical Education and all sport subjects. I can appraise your collection, whether it is for insurance protection or a future sale, and give you a detailed, written evaluation in accordance with the tax laws of both the United States and Canada. As the appraiser I automatically disqualify myself from buying from you, or selling for you, the material I appraise. For ethical reasons I may have no future interest in the valuation or benefit from it. I remain "at arms length." I am paid the set fee for the appraisal which will depend upon the number of items in the collection, the time needed for researching values and any travel expenses involved. A detailed, written report is prepared with documentation in accordance with USA tax rules. I have been the appraiser of several important collections that were donated to university libraries and other sport related organizations including the Dr. John Lucas Track & Field Collection to USA Track & Field, the Fernand Landry Olympic Collection and the Richard W. Pound Collections, both to McGill University (Canada). |

I can travel within Europe to suit your needs especially to Berlin, Munich and Prague. All of western Europe can be booked if it fits into my schedule. My travel fee is 900 euros per day (8 hours) of work or consultation, PLUS all of my travel expenses (incuding transporation, hotel & two meals). I work in four hour shifts with a one hour lunch break. You can make the travel arrangements via train or airplane to fit your schedule and budget, but the return must be within the same calendar day before midnight to avoid being charged for a 2nd day. Additional days are discounted A one week arrangement (5 days) is discounted at 3,600 euros (20% discount) plus travel & hotel & meals. My usual practice is to have breakfast & dinner in the hotel restaurant, lunch is taken between the 4 hour sessions at my own expense. Longer arrangements are available by contract - please inquire. |
