4:20 pm Most of us from the Old Country are familiar with how pervasive corruption is in all walks of life and some have even fled to the US after being stymied in their dreams back home. Fast forward many years and we are finding that corruption is rife in the US too, just better hidden. It becomes the job of local law enforcement, like the Harris County District Attorney's office, to ferret corruption out and prosecute the offenders. To tell us more about how this is done, we are joined by Asst. District Attorney Kimberley Smith who has been working in the Public Corruption Division.

He faces enormous hurdles since the country’s economic collapse two years ago. We asked Sri Lankan expatriate and local immigration attorney Chiro Nanayakkara to put things in perspective.

4:20 pm As if being entangled in legal proceedings isn't bad enough, navigating the court system can be just as confusing and time consuming. But it is an important part of the process that can determine the outcome of your case, and knowing the judges and the courts they preside over is vital to understanding how to present your evidence for a favorable outcome.
