Log on for legal advice

Whether it’s a problem with a deadbeat roommate, a ticket for underage drinking or any one of a host of other college-age issues, many students inevitably come into legal questions. One thing they usually don’t have: a lot of money to solve them.

That’s where “Minute With Mike” hopes to come in. The free video campaign, created by USF graduate Dana Blickensderfer, is designed to encourage legal discussion with attorney Michael C. Blickensderfer and launches today at oneminutewithmike.com.

Students can submit their legal questions to Dana’s father, who will provide a video answer on the site every Wednesday. The Oracle talked with Dana Blickensderfer, who graduated in May 2010 with a degree in mass communications, about her idea and how she hopes students could benefit from it.

The Oracle: What kind of cases does Mike Blickensderfer, the lawyer who’ll be answering questions on “Minute With Mike,” usually handle?

Dana Blickensderfer: He has extensive experience in personal injury litigation and claims. He also served as a prosecutor both in Florida and in Long Island. Other areas he served were in narcotics, Medicaid fraud and DUI offenses within New York City. He also served as a public defender, practicing criminal law within the felony division in Tampa, Florida.

Other legal experience includes real estate, family law, criminal defense, social security and labor law.

O: How does “Minute With Mike” work?

DB: Well, every week Michael will receive legal questions through our forum, and from those questions, he will pick ones to discuss and answer on the air through our video channel on (the website).

Attorneys seek to dismiss drug charges in Tampa Bay

TAMPA- Recent ruling by a federal judge has Tampa Bay Defense Lawyers asking judges to free hundreds of people from their drug charges according to Tampabay.com.

According to U.S. District Judge Mary Scriven, Florida law violates the U.S. Constitution by allowing people to be convicted of drug possession even if they did not intend to posses drugs.

For example, someone could be charged with drug possession if they unknowingly deliver a package of drugs. Or a student whose friend secretly stows drugs in his/her backpack could be charged if found by police.

Because the judge found the law unconstitutional on its face, “it’s as if it doesn’t exist,” Public Defender Bob Dillinger said.

Many lawyers are filing the motion asking that their drug defendants be released, reduce bonds and/or drop charges.

The controversy? Certain judges and prosecutors are adamant that Scriven’s ruling holds no weight in state courts- at least not yet.

The state has already filed a notice that it will appeal Scriven’s ruling.
