Credible Fear Interview Preparation

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.

in Blog, Helpful Information, Personal Injury, Workers Compensation

It makes us cringe to know how easy it is to get good advice from a very skilled and experienced Injury lawyer before signing on that dotted line, yet still people just want to get it over with as quick as possible.

Stopping Robo-Calls

Posted by chhabragibbs

in Blog, 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.

Either way, these calls and...

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.

in Blog, Marshall Goff, Workers Compensation

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...

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.

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...
