I’m a TV star! Well, cable TV and only west of the 405 and
north of the 101. Last month we began advertising on Time Warner
Cable TV. You can find the commercial on our website at
www.HornsteinLawOffices.com . A colleague saw it and
commented that before he saw my commercial, he had thought that

Taxes are due in a week, so let’s take a quick look at more ideas to
save a few dollars.
If you have a child in college who also is working and paid her own
tuition, look at not claiming her on your own taxes if your income
is too high to qualify for the Hope or Lifetime Learning Credit. By
