To start, dye the almond slivers black to make “fingernails.” Cut the pretzel rods down to finger-length and dip them in frosting dyed the pale green of witches’ skin. While the frosting is still soft, stick an almond fingernail at the tip. If you want extra details, use a toothpick to make knuckles in the frosting. Spooky Oreos What you’ll need: Oreos, melting chocolate (white or bittersweet), decorations Melt your chocolate, dip America’s favorite cookies in it, and let them set. Ta-da! You’re left with the perfect blank canvas for your children (and you!). Run wild — from spider webs and ghosts to vampires and werewolves, you’ll have a unique treat for everyone at your party. Follow these simple instructions (don’t be afraid to get creative!), and you’ll delight kids of all ages this year.

Creating decked-out, bespoke costumes for your kids takes a lot of planning and hard work. If you want an easier way to make Halloween more creative this year, try creating some holiday-themed treats the whole family can participate in making. The results will be a lot more exciting than the standard fun-sized candy bars that you’ll have more than enough of after the holiday. Donut Monsters What you’ll need: glazed or plain donuts, M&M’s, plastic fangs These monsters require only brief assembly, and the effect is awesome. Simply buy your favorite glazed donuts, or make them yourself if you’re feeling adventurous, buy some cheap, plastic fangs, and decorate. You can use red food coloring for a blood effect and candy for eyes. You’re only limited by your imagination. Witch Finger Pretzels What you’ll need: large pretzel sticks, frosting, green and black food dye, almond slivers Attorney referral fees are permissible in California. The theory is that an attorney referring a client to another attorney will be motivated to send that client to the attorney who can best serve the client and maximize the case, thereby maximizing the return to the referring attorney. The attorneys must abide by California Rule of Professional Responsibility 2-200, which states the following: 1. The client has consented in writing thereto after a full disclosure has been made in writing that a division of fees will be made and the terms of such division; and 2. The total fee charged by all lawyers is not increased solely by reason of the provision for division of fees and is not unconscionable as that term is defined in rule 4-200. We handle referrals differently than other attorneys. Case Barnett Law makes it easy for attorneys to refer cases, and we keep the referring attorneys updated throughout the entire process. Our firm has developed something called the Case Barnett Law HitList™ which ensures that both our clients and the referring attorney are always in the know when it comes to their case. The referring attorney will know when a referral fee may be coming because they will always know what stage the case is in. Additionally, the great work and service Case Barnett Law provides reflects favorably on the referring attorney. This not only provides a direct and more immediate benefit to the referring attorney financially, but it also generates esteem Attorney Referral Fees

in the community through the development of a reputation as an attorney who gives good counsel.

Non-attorneys cannot receive the benefit of a referral fee because the state bar prohibits attorneys from paying referral fees to non-lawyers. What we hope at Case Barnett Law is that even non-attorneys will send us cases, not for the referral fee, but simply because we provide the best possible service. We prioritize the empowerment of our client and want clients to understand the process and feel comfortable with the handling of their case. An informed client is usually also a happy client. And a happy client usually means a happy referral source. Everybody wins.
