Aaron Hernandez Due to Appear Back in Court

The latest scandal in sports involves the young tight end of the New England Patriots, Aaron Hernandez.  Hernandez has been a suspect in the killing of Odin Lloyd.  Lloyd, a 27 year old semi-pro football player with the Boston Bandits, had known Hernandez for about a year and was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiance.  What seemed at first just to be speculations is now becoming more concrete as evidence has been revealed.  The case against Hernandez is strengthening and he could face life in prison.

On June 17th, 2013 Lloyd was shot and killed.  At 3:07 a.m. he had texted his sister “did you see who I was with?” She replied “Who?” to which he answered “NFL,” then added “just so you know.” A few minutes later Lloyd was killed in what prosecutors are describing as an execution style shooting. The shooting was reportedly “orchestrated” by Hernandez.  Two days later, he was arrested and led from his home in handcuffs. Two hours later, the New England Patriots dropped him from the team.  The judge ordered that Hernandez be held without bail on the murder charge as well as five weapons counts.

Stober, Jr., L.L.C., our attorneys will work with you to ensure that you’re thoroughly understand you rights and that your divorce is resolved in a fair and equitable manner.  Our experts will explain the details of all major issues like Child Custody and visitation rights.  Custody and visitation can be requested by both spouses and will be decided by a judge with the best interest of the children in mind.  The parent who lives with the minor child has the right to ask for child support from the non-custodial parent, which is determined by the non-custodial parent’s income and/or the child’s need.  Each spouse is entitled to an equitable (fair) portion, but not necessarily half, of the marital property.  Our talented attorneys will work with both parties to divide the marital property in an agreeable way.  Marital property includes assets obtained by either spouse during the marriage but before a separation agreement or divorce case is filed.  Property acquired before the marriage is considered separate property and is generally not included in equitable distribution.  These are just a few of the main issues that our esteemed team will be able to settle for you in the most professional way.

Even if you and your spouse have talked through how you would like to resolve these issues, it is important that you not sign anything until you speak to an attorney.  We will help you fully understand the consequences of your settlement options.  You can trust that we will have your best interests in mind while fully representing you in a New York divorce action; we will not prolong your case and will respect your desire to reach a solution as quickly as possible.

Bruce Ratner Develops a Plan for Nassau Coliseum

350 Old Country Road, Suite 205, Garden City, NY 11530

Bruce Ratner, the executive chairman for Forest City Ratner Companies and developer of Brooklyn’s Barclay's Center, is encouraging Nassau County residents to take a fresh new look at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.  Ratner believes his development group is the right one to take on this task of making the coliseum better than ever before. 

Ratner’s Barclay's Center will eventually become the new home of the New York Islanders in 2015 leaving the Coliseum to be turned into something else.  Ratner’s vision is to turn it from a national hockey league arena into a smaller entertainment center, which he says will host top talents and be the centerpiece of a district that will include restaurants, and outdoor amphitheater and a more intimate live music club.  Ratner’s aspirations are to give the Coliseum a more aesthetic makeover that will draw the eye to its beauty from outside as well as in.  Ratner faces competing bids by Madison Square Garden, Blumenfeld Development Group and New York Sports LLC, all which have presented their plans before a panel of 17 Nassau business leaders who will assist the county in selecting the winning proposal.  Ratner, who advised the county on development possibilities for the site after Charles Wang, owner of the Islanders, announced the team’s departure, is partnering with Brooklyn Nets majority owner Mikhail Prokhorov, Jay-Z’s company Roc Nation, New York Yankees and Dallas Cowboys joint food service venture Legends, the entertainment company Live Nation, financial services company Guggenheim Partners and Barclays Center architectural firm SHoP. Brett Yormark, Barclays Center and Brooklyn Nets CEO, has termed the group a “dream team.”

Their plans call for a reduction in seating capacity from 17,686 to about 13,000, an aesthetic makeover of the interior and exterior, building of a monument to Nassau’s military veterans and more than 300 annual sports, music and entertainment events.  Renovations are expected to take at least 15 months and cost over $89 million.  Further development will include renovations of the existing convention center and the building of a 2,000 seat theater, a cinema and an outdoor amphitheater which is projected to cost an additional $140 million.  Ratner wishes this center to be for everyone to enjoy and plans to host many free events in the amphitheater.  The focus of the Coliseum will change and would be the home to no major sports team, although the Islanders are expected to play at least 6 regular season games there per year. 

Ratner’s group is projecting great economic benefits for the county should his bid be accepted, including the creation of 2,500 full and part time jobs, plus 1,300 job-years of construction work during the building phase of the project.  Ratner’s group as well as the other three competing developers has said that they will not seek any public funding for the project.  This is a great project that overall can benefit the citizens of Nassau county in many different ways.

NSA Obtaining Phone Records From All US Verizon Customers

350 Old Country Road, Suite 205, Garden City, NY 11530
877-791-8076 / StoberLaw.com  

A top secret court order issued in April and disclosed Wednesday night, is requiring Verizon to hand over all telephone records of millions of US customers to the National Security Agency; made possible under a hotly debated section of the Patriot Act.

Verizon is to provide records on an ongoing and daily basis on all telephone calls in its systems (both within the US and between the US and other countries), indiscriminately and in bulk - regardless if anyone is suspected of wrong doing.

Under the terms of the order, the numbers of both parties on a call are handed over, in addition to their location data, time, unique identifiers, and duration of calls. The order does not apply to the content of the communications.

The order was granted to the FBI on April 25th by FISA (the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court), giving the government unlimited authority to obtain data for a specified three month period effective until July 19, 2013. 

The court order specifically prohibits Verizon from disclosing to the public either the existence of the FBI's request for its customers' records, or the court order itself.

Actual Court Order:
