The Legal Herald
(WREG 3)
A woman was reportedly robbed at gunpoint outside a “Fuel Center” in Memphis, according to WREG 3. Police told media local “gas stations have become hot spots for these types of crimes.”
“Officers say two teens and a man they’re looking for recently carjacked and beat a 69-year-old at a Whitehaven gas pump,” per WREG 3 reports. “And days before that, police say a man held a woman at gunpoint at a gas pump on South Perkins before taking her car.”
The incidents raise grave questions over gas station security measures. While gas station owners are ultimately responsible for patron safety, Memphis police urge drivers to take precautions at the pump:
- Don’t keep your valuables in your car.
- Carry your purse.
- Don’t leave keys in the ignition.
- Make sure your doors are locked.
- Use a towel the same color as your car’s interior to hide belongings if you must keep them in your car.

Choosing the Right Attorney
Selecting the right attorney for you or your family is highly important. You must feel confident that the attorney you hire has a complete understanding of the law applicable to your particular case, and has successful experience in handling such cases.
Important: Do not hire a lawyer who has violated the Rules of Professional Conduct!!!
You should not hire an attorney who calls you or visits you unsolicited, or anyone that contacts you directly to offer legal services. This activity is strictly prohibited by Rule 7.3 of the American Bar Association (ABA) Model Rules of Professional Conduct, which states as follows:
A LAWYER “SHALL NOT” CONTACT A PROSPECTIVE CLIENT THROUGH A “LIVE TELEPHONE” OR AN “IN-PERSON” VISIT.
– RULE 7.3, ABA MODEL RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT.
If an attorney, or someone acting on behalf of an attorney, contacts you in this manner, that attorney is in violation of this Rule. This unethical and unprofessional activity on the part of the lawyer is good sign that you should stay away. It is imperative that you are represented by an attorney who is capable of advocating for you within the confines of the law, and an attorney who fails to abide by the Rules of Professional Conduct is probably not the best fit. In fact, any such attorney should be immediately reported to the local State Bar Association. If you have been contacted in such an unsolicited manner, contact us and we’ll assist you in filing a report.
Contingency Fees Disclaimer: “Contingent attorneys’ fees refers only to those fees charged by attorneys for their legal services. Such fees are not permitted in all types of cases. Court costs and other additional expenses of legal action usually must be paid by the client.”
