Re: Broadcasting my Address

I have a good idea as to what your charges are. No, its public information and they have not defamed you or invaded your privacy in any way. It happens all of the time, just open your news paper. In fact, almost all people's addresses are given out, although the house number is sometimes left out.

I'm concerned that you did not trust your attorney's advice regarding this question or for some reason, you could not ask him. If this case is still pending, I'd like to talk to you about to make sure there is nothing being left out of the process. My consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340.

Good luck!

Your place of residence is not part of any right to privacy. You have no legal recourse against the news media. They have committed no crime.
