About Me
Don't Worry, It's The Law

Thanks for stopping by my website focused on law. My name is Luke Donahue and I absolutely love law and order. I wish that there was a greater respect for law in our society. When we understand what is expected of us and what is allowed, it is much easier to make decisions and live a fulfilling life. I feel that some do not respect the law because they simply do not understand it. Therefore, I have decided to create a website that covers various legal topics of interest to me and I will try to explain these topics from a layman's perspective.

Unfortunately, the thing that usually stands between a prisoner and a return to normalcy is a hefty bail. For many people, this bail may be too much of a financial hardship to even consider. Although the posted bail is not allowed to be excessive, the judge is under no obligation to set a bail that is necessarily easily affordable. Read More …

Shedding Your Married Name

Although it has become more common for brides to retain their maiden name, most begin using the surname of their spouses after the wedding.
