Getting ready for the RNC

Tampa is getting ready to host the Republican National Convention next week, and because the area’s courthouses are located downtown, locals should expect some disruptions.

First appearances will take place at the Falkenburg Road Jail, and the federal courthouse will be closed until Sept. 4, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

Meanwhile, we at the Law Office of Paul E. Riffel plan to be forging ahead without disruptions, thanks to our location about 10 miles north of downtown Tampa in Carrollwood.
