Posted by chhabragibbs

Credible Fear

Know someone who is Detained and Interested in Seeking Asylum? When people are detained by the United States government, they must receive a positive credible fear determination from their Credible Fear Interview to be able to pursue claims to asylum or withholding of removal. At the interview, the asylum officer will ask questions, either in person or via telephonic or satellite communication. An interpreter will be present to translate the questions into the detainee’s native language. Preparation for the credible fear screening process is critical.

Robo-Calls

Our partner firm, Chhabra Gibbs & Herrington PLLC, writes about putting a stop to the annoying robo-calls and unsolicited texts in our latest blog. Robo-calls are calls made to consumers using a prerecorded voice message, or mass text. These calls are often made in an attempt to persuade consumers to purchase goods or services from the company behind the calls. Although some robo-calls are made by legitimate companies, including car dealerships, some of these calls may be scams made by individuals or entities in an attempt to convince consumers to hand over personal or financial information. Either way, these calls and...

zantac recall

Our Partner Firm, Chhabra Gibbs & Herrington PLLC, wrote about the recent Zantac recall and how the FDA has decided to pull all of the Zantac product off the shelf due to NDMA and cancer from contamination: The heartburn and ulcer medication Zantac, also known as Ranitidine, which belongs to the histamine-2 blockers category, has been recalled by the FDA.   The FDA has been investigating Zantac for a contaminant known as N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in ranitidine medications.  The FDA has determined that the impurity increases over time and when stored at higher than room temperatures, that impurity exposes consumers to an unacceptable level of it....

Coronavirus - Covid-19

As Congress passes stimulus bills to prop up our declining economy due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19), many employees are nervous about how the virus may affect their job status. Given the shutdown affect the virus will have on businesses and events in Mississippi and the nation, it is fair to assume that layoffs and downsizing will happen soon. Some employees may quarantine themselves and live in isolation because they have COVID-19 or have come into contact with someone who does. Some employers may be angry their employees are forced to quarantine and decide to fire their employees for isolating themselves. The...

Medical Treatment

How long is too long to wait to get medical treatment if you are in an injury?   When people have a fall at work or at a business, their first thought is often embarrassment, and their first feeling is often pain.  But in many cases it is hard to tell whether the pain is just a temporary soreness that does not require medical treatment, or something more serious.  There is no way to know for sure without seeing a doctor.  Some people are too stubborn to go to the doctor for medical treatment in Mississippi unless they absolutely have to and...
