As of January 1, 2014, I retired from the practice of law. I recently closed the extremely outdated website of my former firm, McCarter & Higgins, and have transferred some of the content to this new site. I now share the office in Red Bank (see above) with my niece, Stephanie McC. Flynn, who operates a home heath care provider business there under the name Evolving Care.  My former partner Bill Higgins is on the legal staff of Capital One Bank in New York City.

This page contains links to web pages I wrote years ago, but which I think may still be of interest. I wrote my personal favorite web posting on April 1, 2003, in the early stages of Bush Jr.’s Iraq invasion.  I wanted to record all the reasons I opposed that war.  The idea was to be able to look back at my reasons later and judge them from the perspective of  what ensued and, eventually, from the perspective of history.  The result was Thirteen Reasons Not to Invade Iraq  Only reason no. 4 appears to have been overruled by history, and that one was wrong only because the administration goofed on the WMD issue.  This article may give me more satisfaction than anything else I have written.

The Case of Johnny Jihad was published in the October, 2002 edition of Liberty Magazine.  It is about John Walker Lindh, a young American who naively and foolishly joined the Taliban before September 11, but was caught afterward and sentenced to 20 years in prison, even though he had never taken a single hostile step against this country. You will read that even then-president George W. Bush seems to have thought he was punished too harshly.

If you are about to be a witness at a deposition, look over my short article about what to expect at a deposition.

As a history buff, I created a project in January, 2008 called Massacre Page.  It is an opinionated account of famous massacres in history, and it shows that all races and cultures are GUILTY: whites, blacks, Asians, Christians, Jews, Muslims, every one.  Obviously, my list is woefully incomplete.

This paragraph contains a link to my very first published article, way back in 1972, in a rag called The Alternative, which later morphed into The American Spectator.  The article was called “Nixon and/or Mussolini” .  The style is youthful and embarrassing at times, but I dug it up from the archives and reproduce it here unedited, including even my perceptive comment that Mr. Nixon was “a decent man and hardly the reckless and ruthless egomaniac that Mussolini was.” Remember, I wrote that in May of 1972.
