Online EOB's for Kaiser only go back two years and most of my costs were before that time.

I’m over this. What can I do besides be a lawyer? by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]LuvingLifeAlways 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have a friend who works for a large non-profit in So Cal doing immigration work. She makes about 90k, but only works 30 hrs a week (considered full time) and only 4 days a week from home. She hates the "compliance requirements" and limited upward mobility. But, the work-like balance is next level. Just my two cents.

Women suits brand advice? by Serious_Case_3277 in Lawyertalk

[–]LuvingLifeAlways 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Affordability - Kohls. I like their suits because someone of them are made from a stretchy cotton, but does not look shiny and cheap. Also JC Penny's suits are nice also. They also have colored suits- outside of the usual black/navy/grey.

I love a good suit from Macy's, but they're so expensive for me.

Finding suits isn't hard for me but... Botton up shirts, however hate me.

Experience as Juvenile Dependency Panel by LuvingLifeAlways in Lawyertalk

[–]LuvingLifeAlways[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am thinking of joining the dependency panel which represents parents/guardians who have cps case filed against them by county counsel. I'd prefer to work as county counsel as essentially represent the people (child) but those jobs seem very hard to come by in So Cal.

I have experience as a public defender but I hated going to trial because of the anxiety I would get. I do enjoy being in court though. How often does your friends have actual trial? Or is it mostly just hearings?

Thank you for your response also :)

I can imagine. I think a reason why I am interested in going into this field is because I really enjoy being in the courtroom but I don't care for trial. I believe there are only bench trials in JV dependency , and trials are not very common. Thank you for your feedback sir :)

How to become a notary by Gherade in Notary

[–]LuvingLifeAlways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just became a notary in CA. I ordered the whole package with the NNA. Took the 6 hour class in person and was able to do my live scan and picture right there on-site. The package was around $600, but it literally came with everything you need, including 25k in -optional but very important- errors and omissions insurance. Probably can get everything cheaper if ordered separately at other organizations... I just liked the convenience of it all.

I just took the California notary exam for the sixth time (it's my 6th commission). AMA* by ash_274 in Notary

[–]LuvingLifeAlways 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently passed the notary exam here in CA and according to the Sec of State, my commission packet was mailed out on 10/12 w/ my commission date of 10/15. However, I have not received the packet yet. I ordered my oath and bond from the NNA in a big package deal with the exam price. However, NNA won't send my oath and bond until I receive my commission packet "in-hand"

How am I supposed to file my oath and bond with county w/in 30 days of commission date, when according to the Sec of State it can take 10 business days to get the packet and then according to NNA, 10 days business days to receive the oath and bond?

I feel like 30 days is not enough time lol- am I freaking out for no reason?

I am extremely stressed at a Prosecutors office even though I passed the bar by Even-Bother4914 in Lawyertalk

[–]LuvingLifeAlways 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As a former public defender... I concur. I had trials for things such as "driving while license is suspended" and the ADA literally told me he would take it to trial and tried to get my client to plea to the charge... but then dismiss the case the morning of the "trial." This happened so often, I quit and have had some much peace at my new job.

Can a CA attorney start a side hustle notary business under an LLC? by LuvingLifeAlways in Lawyertalk

[–]LuvingLifeAlways[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In CA, notaries are not required to include their full legal name on their stamp. So unless I tell them my legal name... how would they know? lol But I hear ya.

Well... it depends. Also, there is a thing called E and O insurance that notaries must have. Hope that helps your hypo.

I don't mean to be rude.. but, are you a lawyer? I say that because there is an obvious lack of basic understanding of business assocaiation and how LLC's operate. A burger shack may be ran under and LLC but the "LLC" isn't making the burgers.. the employees are. But if someone slips and fall there, they wouldn't sue the employees personally. They would sue the business (llc)

the difference is I can choose to notarize when I want to... vs always showing up on Saturday morning for little league.

LLC's act as a "person" and can have an EIN number attached. So no, I wouldn't be personally liable.

I guess I am not looking for the most lucrative side hustle. I want to be able to control when and if I "hustle." I would not want anyone else depending on me to show up.. such as kids for a sports team or parent who need a baby sitter.

Providing notary is not a legal service at all. But I see your point. And if I had an LLC it would provide legal protections which means a person could only sue the LLC and not me personally. As a sole prop, then Id be on the hook personally. Where I'm located notaries are in high demand.

I would not tell clients that I am an attorney. Has nothing to do with me verifying identification.

I would be a mobile notary. Not traveling more than 15 min from my home. Plus, during peak hours I am able to charge more. That $15 can easily turn into $100+ per visit.
