President Trump. You all ready to say that yet? It comes as a shocker to many, but not my mother, who bet all-you-can-eat lobster on the Election. I’ll be paying up shortly. How about the Miami Dolphins? I certainly did not expect the team to make it back to .500 on the season. Unfortunately, my […]
The start of college football started off strong, which continued with the beginning of the NFL regular season. Most memorable is an amazing Notre Dame vs. Texas match-up from last weekend. But how about the ending for the Denver Broncos, just squeezing by the Carolina Panthers to win the NFL opener? There is a lot […]
The dead of Summer has not hit South Florida. After over two years in business, we could not be busier at Heitner Legal.

The unsigned player who is garnering the most attention is David Ortiz, who has requested $16.5 million, while the […]
When I first heard that Francisco (K-Rod) Rodriguez was switching agents from Paul Kinzer of Wasserman Media Group to Scott Boras of Boras Corp., I praised Kinzer for a job well done in his representation of the former New York Mets closer. After all, Kinzer helped Rodriguez negotiate a 3-year, $37 million deal, which included a very impressive $17.5 […]
Francisco Rodriguez, better known as K-Rod, is currently performing under a 3-year, $37 million contract that he signed with the New York Mets in 2008. If K-Rod closes 55 or more games this season, he will stay with the Mets in 2012 and earn a total of $17.5 million for that one year of service. […]
