• In a recent ARC El Paso Legal Jargon segment, attorney Daisy Chaparro of Tawney, Acosta & Chaparro P.C. explained the importance of attorney-client confidentiality. This cornerstone of the legal system ensures private communication between lawyers and their clients—provided no third party is present and the communication isn’t intended to be shared.   In high-profile cases like the El Paso Walmart shooting, this principle is at the center of legal debates. Daisy highlighted key questions about whether jail phone calls, in this case, were privileged or not. Watch the entire video here: https://tinyurl.com/49vyu9vf  At Tawney, Acosta & Chaparro P.C., we believe everyone deserves to understand their rights and how the legal system protects them. If you have questions about confidentiality or your legal rights, we’re here to help. Contact us today to learn more.  , ARC El Paso Legal Jargon Segment with K-FOX, 2024

• For the better part of the last seven years, I have litigated personal injury cases in both Texas and New Mexico. In that time, I have found that oral argument resources are often under-utilized in litigation. As litigators, we argue motions to courts frequently—but do we always make the best use of our time to obtain the desired outcome? At least with respect to young lawyers, the answer is typically no. Oral argument requires preparation, skill, and intuition—all of which take time to develop., Author, Ten Oral Argument Pointers For Young Litigators, State Bar of Texas - Litigation Section, Personal Injury, 2022
