Phoenix AZ Civil Litigation Firm Earns Notable Breach of Contract Case











Phoenix, AZ (Vocus/PRWEB) February 17, 2011

Gillespie, Shields & Durrant has earned an important win in a civil litigation case that involved a breach of contract. This landmark win has helped the family law firm in Phoenix, AZ expand their resume’ to include wins in other areas of law.

The established Phoenix family law firm, Gillespie, Shields & Durrant is also gaining a reputation for advocating for clients in civil litigation, breach of contract, malpractice and personal injury cases. The firm’s attorney David Goldfarb was cited in the December 2010 issue of Arizona Attorney magazine for his notable win in a breach of contract case. With Goldfarb as her relentless advocate, the client was awarded damages after her friend breached her promise to share gambling winnings.

For the past 25 years, GS&D has been building a gold-standard reputation for strong and smart family law advocacy in divorce, custody and support cases. Not surprisingly, as recognition of the firm grew, more and more families and businesses that trusted the Arizona family law lawyers began to ask the firm to represent them in their civil lawsuits as well. The GS&D civil litigation section has now represented Arizonans in a wide range of cases. Employment law is a centerpiece of the firm’s Arizona civil litigation arm, as is business litigation, and personal injury litigation, and, as in Mr. Goldfarb’s publicized case, individuals’ breach of contract lawsuits.

David Goldfarb’s win highlights the type of success that Gillespie, Shields and Durrant litigators bring to their clients throughout Arizona. A consummate litigator and trial lawyer who has practiced in state and federal courts, Mr. Goldfarb is a fierce advocate in the courtroom. He applies his trial skills on behalf of GS&D clients in a wide range of civil litigation issues, from breach of contract and nursing home abuse suits to business disputes and personal injury cases. Arizona Attorney magazine’s recognition of his successful civil litigation for breach of oral contract is an indicator of his long record of success in the courtroom.

Tpstry.com and GenealogyFreelancers.com Partner To Make Family History Research Easier

Tpstry.com and GenealogyFreelancers.com Partner To Make Family History Research Easier










Grand Rapids, MI and Nashville, TN (PRWEB) March 24, 2011

GenealogyFreelancers.com, which connects people seeking family history research with professional genealogists, and Tpstry.com, a website taking a unique approach to gathering family memories, announced today their partnership to make researching family history easier.

“One of the hardest steps for professional genealogists doing research projects is gathering all known information about a family at the beginning of the project,” says Deborah Irwin, CEO of IRBO, Inc., GenealogyFreelancers.com’s parent company. “Tpstry’s unique approach to gathering family memories provides a quick, easy way to gather all known family information in one place.”

While Tpstry.com’s main focus is to collect stories behind family memories, it also collects basic family history information such as names, parentage, birth dates, death dates and marriages. To assist researchers, Tpstry will soon be rolling out the ability to export family information as a GEDCOM file—a standard file format which allows different genealogy software programs to talk to one another. This basic family information gives researchers at GenealogyFreelancers.com a head start when investigating a family’s past.

“Tpstry uses family members and relatives as sources to answer family history questions,” says Matt Johnston, Founder and President of Tpstry. “If a question goes back a few generations, relatives often don’t know the answers. This is where a professional researcher, such as those found at GenealogyFreelancers.com, is very valuable.”

Users seeking help with a family research project can post a project prospectus at http://www.genealogyfreelancers.com and start entering known family information at http://www.tpstry.com for free.
