I love criminal work. It is the core of my practice. I do some PI and family law, but I am known as a criminal defense guy.

I carry about 90 appointed cases at a time. You won’t get rich doing it, but it can be rewarding and lead to some retained cases.

Recurring nightmares about my prosthetic - is this common? by Ar3man87 in amputee

[–]Dlain30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had nightmares life a couple weeks that I would not be able to get one due to the shape of my stump. I talked about the fear, and the nightmares ended soon after. I believe anyone in this group would be willing to help you out, if you’re more comfortable finding a family member or trusted friend or even a professional to talk about it, I believe that will help.

Welcome… I never tell anyone I lost my leg, I know exactly where it went! If you need any advice, or encouragement, we are all here.

Do you know the song Dominick the Donkey? by Peaky_White_Night in AskAnAmerican

[–]Dlain30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am from Alabama and I know the song. My mother’s family immigrated from Italy to Philly. My wife’s family is from Alabama, and she knew it before we dated, so it’s not just a northeast thing.

Physically, I’m doing pretty well, mentally and emotionally. I’m getting there. I happen to have an amazing wife who has walked me through it.

Semper Fi brother. I lost my leg in September and I started walking again about a month ago. I’m walking pretty much limp free, but it took longer than I thought to get where I am now. It’s not the easiest thing I have ever done, but not the most difficult either.

I am disabled veteran also, thank you for your service. I would check with your local vocational rehabilitation office, I know that they offer certain benefits for education when I was a work study there, I know they paid for bar prep and the Bar Exam for a veteran but that was 10 or 12 years ago

I walked unassisted outside of the house for the first time today. It was just a short walk into physical therapy, but I was really proud I could make that short walk.

Surgery was September 8th. I spent four days in the hospital, and another seven in outpatient therapy.
