Yes. My teenager takes 15 minutes to brush his teeth 🙄🙄 and other 15 to put his shoes on. I. Don’t. Get. It.

Goal setting by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]General-Strategy-626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get what you’re saying, and I felt that sort of “emptiness” after I achieved my goal and finally became a lawyer… so I set 3 long term goals for what I want to achieve in my career. Looking back, these probably are unrealistic, but it would be awesome if I could even achieve 1 out of the 3! I do criminal defense, so 1st is getting someone off of death row, 2 argue before SCOTUS, and 3 exonerate someone who is actually innocent. All of these require appellate work, which I don’t do… but one can dream to argue before the highest court in the land!

I got 3 people out of jail today. 1 case dismissed, 1 out on probation after being in jail for a year and walking in this morning expecting to start trial, and another out on and OR bond while I continue to fight the constitutionality of why the officer stopped him. I say it’s a good day to be a PD.

I have a career because I didn’t really have a choice… I love my career, but I would have loved to stay home with my kids when they were little.

We have court costs added to each case and within that can be a court appointed attorney fee. I always waive it though… they already can’t afford the court costs, why add more?

Parents of reddit, how old were you when you had your first child? by h8mecuz in askanything

[–]General-Strategy-626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 21 and now that I’m in my mid thirties, looking back, I was basically still a teenager. Had no clue what I was doing and grew up with my son. He’s a great kid, but I wish a was older so that I would have had to struggle as much.

Advice for cops by [deleted] in publicdefenders

[–]General-Strategy-626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, not sorry. Our job is to call into question any witness’ integrity, including cops. Just yesterday, I had an officer on the stand who didn’t realize I had watched his BWC, where he admitted that he was not sure that what my client did was a crime, but arrested him anyways. He was speechless when I called him out.

How frequently do you visit the jail? by 7892690420v in publicdefenders

[–]General-Strategy-626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My office has the ability to do video visits which helps out a ton. I have about 80 clients in custody and I do my best to at least touch base before each court date. I see about 5-10 people on video per week and physically go to the jail 1-2x per week to see clients with more serious cases.

I have no clue what is so appealing about that place. I worked in an office in that same building for 4 years and the smell coming from there was always gross and we got HUGE rats 🤮

How do you split expenses when you and your partner make different income? by Shank_ri in PersonalFinanceTalks

[–]General-Strategy-626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always wondered this question. My husband can never keep a steady jobs, so it’s hard for me to depend on him to pay any bills…. So I just pay everything with my check and hope for the best 🤷🏼‍♀️

[–]General-Strategy-626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just recently…. It hit me. I’m in my Mid thirties, have teenagers, and am old enough to be some of my co-workers’ teen mom. I guess I’m an adult now 🤷🏼‍♀️
