David A. Hoines, Esq., has extensive experience in personal injury law and civil litigation. As a Fellow of American Bar Association (ABA)--a distinction obtained by only one-third of lawyers nationwide--David A. Hoines remains involved in professional events and supports continuing legal education.
The ABA is one of the largest professional legal organizations in the world. Prior to the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta in June 2015, the ABA joined the United Kingdom legal community in rejoicing at a historic discovery. A researcher from the Magna Carta Research Project found another edition of the historic document in the town of Sandwich. Issued by royal decree in the year 1300, the newly discovered Magna Carta was discovered inside a Victorian scrapbook that had been compiled around the end of the 18th century.
Although the copy was badly damaged by moisture and missing a third of the text, it joins only six other surviving copies of the 1300 edition. Researchers estimate that even in its damaged condition, the surviving copy is valued at more than $15 million.
