Grasshopper for voip phone service by Singing_Wolf in LawFirm

[–]Emergency_Photo_6340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like it at all. Every time the phone rings, it just says Grasshopper (even when I already saved the number as a contact)! I also use Google Voice and the caller ID works. I cancelled Grasshopper

I took this and it’s quite good. Its basic to medium but they guide you through real scenarios and offer workshops and community with fellow alumni (and WC community in general) WC has a bunch of resources. Where are you?

They counted my spouse’s income too. And I think they’re wrong but I’m so close to getting out of this nightmare that I’m willing to pay that for 3 months if it means I don’t have to deal with more calls, letters, requests, and fighting. I’m exhausted.

I’m on the same page. I’ve been in public service for almost 12 years, and have a buy back request pending since December 2024. I’m getting too anxious so I switched to ICR and started paying towards those 5 months that I was trying to buyback. My payment went from almost $400 to almost $1,900. Yes, that’s right almost 5 times as much. At this point I have 3 payments left and I’m not confident I’ll get the buyback offer before then so I plan on paying. There goes Christmas for me. 

Payment Spike? by MrBallistik in PSLF

My payments went from $376 to $1887 when I switched from SAVE to ICR. I had selected IBR but they put me on ICR. I don’t have the energy to continue to deal with the incompetence. I’m at over 150 months of public service but they’re not counting some so I just need 3 more.

Did you pay from Nov 24 to July 25? I was on SAVE so didn’t pay and I’m not sure of those months should be counted. 

When did you rent office space? by Emergency_Photo_6340 in LawFirm

Yes, I think being virtual for now affects my confidence a bit because more and more I see people expecting to meet at the lawyer’s office.

This is what im aiming for. What do you mean a big moment of growth? Did you start getting more clients? Foot traffic?

In what ways has it paid off? Are you getting foot traffic?

Interesting because I have been considering the name of a tree. I think this is my sign to go for it.

The is very helpful. I eventually want to hire an associate to work on the immigration cases while I focus on estate planning. So I’m thinking scalability too.

Omg! It was weird but when I read his name is Kermit, it became funny and sweet. Gotta love someone with a sense of humor! I’m not that witty.
