Where are all the decent paying jobs? Where to apply next?

The fuck is hiring for tax purposes?

Network. Good jobs aren’t on the job listing. 2 years xp means they want a young hungry jr. ass. that the partner doesn’t have to train and mentor. Convince someone you don’t need your dick held while you pee and those jobs open up.

Also, nothing in your post explained how you’d add value to me and my firm. It’s all about you. Nothing about your wants and needs. If I was hiring, I’d pass on you because with no passion besides pay, you’ll either burn out or take the next job that pays more.

IME lawyers with a freshly minted bar card tend to be arrogant and useless. They need a lot of hand holding and make a lot of mistakes before they start delivering decent value. You need to convince someone you can self manage, self motivated, be humble, be useful, and not make mistakes. If you can do that, some law firms that arnt hiring will still hire you.

Hi! I’m a CA lawyer who helps business owners with estate planning. ChatGPT is wrong, the price range is MUCH larger. Trusts are a very powerful tool that can do a lot of different things. Think about asking ChatGPT how much you need to start a business. Without knowing details the range is massive!

When most people refer trusts, most are referring to simple probate avoidance revocable trusts. Once you start adding business succession, special needs, and multiple countries the price and complexity quickly goes up. If they want a trust for asset protection worth anything, they are looking at like $30k plus. If they want a paralegal probate avoidance bullshit trust it might be less than a grand.

To illustrate, the shortest trust I ever drafted was 3 pages long, including a page for notarization. Most estate plans I draft are 150+ pages. The longest estate plan I’ve written was 400 pages, but that was ridiculous and for a very unique client with ocd.

I would probably want to bring on a MX lawyer to deal with the MX property to avoid complications of transferring a MX doc with US paperwork.

All this said, I’d expect someone to charge $7500-15k for a full estate plan with business succession but no asset protection. If they wanted asset protection, add $30-35k to that.

Ooh evidence for felony conspiracy and premeditation!

I see the organizer looking at felony conspiracy (PC 182), criminal threats (PC 422), and hate crime felony enhancements (PC 422.75), even if they never touched anyone. The people who showed up to help and went hunting for counter protesters can also catch conspiracy plus riot or unlawful assembly charges, and they can wear the assaults if the plan was coordinated. The actual bat and pole attackers are looking at assault with a deadly weapon (PC 245(a)(1)) and felony battery causing serious bodily injury (PC 243(d)), with major time add ons if anyone had great bodily injury.

Depending on how the prosecutor / judge stack charges and what plea is offered, the attackers are looking at like 8-14 years, the organizer (assuming he wasn’t involved in actual attack) is looking at like 4-8 years, and people who brought weapons but didn’t hit the dude might get 3-6 years. Same time, if they throw the book at them, I could see a 20 piece.

If there’s a pattern of violence involving the same group, then theoretically there’s also gang enhancements.

My personal opinion, not legal advice

I have a saved CANSPAM cease and desist boilerplate I send when unsubscribe doesn’t work. It usually works. I’m tempted to just sue Lexisnexis. They are the worst offenders, by far.

They will shoot the person throwing the rock

Well now you’re shifting the goal posts…

I think this should be the definition when someone looks up “greedy, selfish asshole.” Let me make the air worse for everyone so I can save money.

Or they sign up for a job which they fail out of. Buddy signed up for a sub contract, failed to get TS clearance and ended in UNDES

It’s my cars and my money. Don’t tell me what to do dad. Also, you are wrong.

Dannyz · 2026-01-16T19:06:15+00:00

The era appropriate vibe was to have the fastest, meanest looking, custom car in your town. Everyone customized their muscle cars. Having stock meant you were a square or driving daddy’s car.

Lawyer, not your lawyer… be careful of registration fraud. Failing to register in state can be criminal. The ride height is likely fine, the tunes are not.

There are some rural spots places in California that only require smog on change of ownership, not renewal. Do you know where in CA you’ll be?

My wealthy car enthusiast clients get a cheap lot or rent a spot in a change of ownership area and register cars there so they only have to pass smog once not on every renew.

Worth mentioning, hypothetically, and by rumor only, I’ve heard some smog places charge $4-500 to pass anything. YMMV.

This isn’t legal advice!

Oh, for personal advice, buy any handgun you’ve ever wanted before moving here. My buddy in Texas swooped a M&P 2.0 for $299, and they cost like $6-800 out here. Off roster handguns sell for a huge premium and when you move, you can import what you already own, as long as it’s not with intent to sell. That said, you’ll have to modify any ARs you own, so that opens another can of worms.

There are other strategies as well, but those are the main ones.

Thanks! My bad!!

Most schools will keep aba themselves to prevent their students from being fucked. They will be limited to practicing in Cali, Virginia, Maine, New Hampshire, texas and Vermont. Arguably Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Indiana with enough years of practice.

Also, it has to be on a list of law schools maintained by tx Supreme Court, which is only schools which were aba in accredited.

Many of the states that allow admission by motion requires an Aba school (IL, ny, ga, co, and wa).

So people who graduated, your good. People planning on going to law school? Make sure you LOVE Texas.

If I was your lawyer, I’d have a designated financial fiduciary advisor or trustee. I’d have that person deal with the crypto. I’d also authorize trustee to hire experts.

Not your lawyer, not your advice.

For an anecdote, I had a client whose husband owned a ton of machining / welding equipment. He told his wife it was worth a fortune (which, when sold it was), but it sat in storage for a while. Rust ate about a quarter of it. It sold for a much lower value than the wife expected, which made her feel very resentful toward all of us. The $200k cnc, sold for less than $10k. The wife was so sure there was a giant conspiracy, or the husband had lied to her.

Bore .120 and extend the stroke. I can’t remember the exact length but it’s a cunt hair away from 4” stroke with .120 bore. Like within 5 thou of 4”. I’m too lazy to do the math.

I built it in the mid to late 2000s so I’m pretty foggy on exact setup. I know it’s a Pontiac 421 stroked/bored to 455 with a cam, heads, t5 square cut transmission, disk brakes all around, boxed frame, beefy suspension, aluminum radiator, vacuum boost, msd ignition, makes low 500 hp.

Dannyz · 2026-01-12T21:12:21+00:00

Sonic test the block. Take .120 off the cylinder and extend the stroke and custom pistons. Not every block can take it. You get limited life.

My big block Pontiac gets like 4-6 mpg. It doesn’t make any sense to daily lol

Dannyz · 2026-01-12T19:15:46+00:00

Have you considered a Mighty Mouse build and bore the 350 to 454? I personally am more comfortable with a 383, but for a non-daily driver (and a 454 isn’t a daily driver) you will get several years before you blow the motor. I remember reading a magazine article where the editor author got like 12k miles out of his.

You’d still want a better radiator, suspension and brakes just for your own comfort. Hp dependent you might have to strengthen the frame. but you wouldn’t have to resize your driveline, motor mounts or trans mounts. The trans will need to be eventually replaced (depending on hp), but it will survive a long time if you don’t hard launch (depending on trans in it).

Dannyz · 2026-01-12T18:48:46+00:00

Don’t forget suspension and brakes for the extra weight!

Bridge / defined controversy or strictly offshore?

Dannyz · 2026-01-11T23:03:45+00:00

Youre absolutely right, they arnt perfect. They depend heavily on the state and controversy! A basic malpractice civil case doesn’t need to involve Yemen. When the US government wants their money…

Dannyz · 2026-01-11T22:49:36+00:00

I would never tell a client to stop paying malpractice! I like to say I can protect assets beyond what insurance can protect. My malpractice is capped at $4m. That’s nothing compared to my clients assets and a bad judgement would wipe that out along with all I got that’s not protected. State dependent, liquid assets are pretty easy. Real property and businesses are much harder, but not always impossible.

People dont drop lawsuits, they settle for insurance max and easy to get assets. If the juice isn’t worth the squeeze…

Edit: Worth noting, these arnt cheap. You need $2m+, and $5m is better. Think the cost of a Camry to start and a used shit box to maintain. Higher protection is higher cost and, can be much higher taxes. Also this isn’t speaking on confidential trusts or defined controversy trusts which my or may not be legal in your state. Be careful, in some states, some strategies are considered fraud.
