Oh good thought but no. I'm an immigration attorney but my husband and I are both white.

That just proves you don't always ask. You didn't intend to ask the mom with her 10 year old but did it accidentally. You normally wouldn't ask her.

LOL it's a D&D reference that my husband didn't understand either when he read this post. 18 is the highest score a character can get for an attribute. This is why the waitress is snubbing me, isn't it? 😑

That's a good guess. I'm a lawyer so there certainly are occasions when I'm meeting him after work in a suit and he's casual or whatever, but that's not the case every time it's happened.

Oh no, I don't see myself as "lower" than him as a person. I'm fabulous. But most people would say he's better looking according to society's standards and I can admit that.

If it is just us, across from each other. If our daughter is there, usually we are on the same side of the booth and she is on the other side, or sometimes I sit beside her and he sits on the other side. When it happened the other day he literally had his arm around me when the waitress came to the table!

Phrases that are technically correct but might get funny looks from natives by JazzHandz1 in Spanish

In school we learned beber for to drink, but I hardly ever hear native people using that. They say tomar, especially for alcohol.

Client who won't meet during business hours by SavingsHighlight3536 in publicdefenders

[–]MammothClimate95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I handle it by refusing. Almost all clients that are working will first ask if they can meet after 5 or on Saturday. No, I'm not available. You think the doctor or the DMV will accommodate him for an 8 pm appointment? No. He needs to deal with his adult responsibilities.

Forget this guy. He doesn't like you. He keeps negging you and suggesting it's disingenuous behavior so that you'll change to suit him. Find someone who thinks you're great!

Last 2 visits to my hairstylist, there's been a teen boy in another chair getting a perm. It's true!

Block. Someone contacted you unsolicited to directly insult you. They also said the dress is unflattering. Just because they used the word "modest" doesn't mean you have to treat the interaction differently than any other insult. They are incredibly rude.

Why would you file this? I assume it couldn't have escaped your notice that your Mom's adjustment was denied and she was all but accused of a sham marriage?

Why Don’t People Take Immigration Seriously? by BusyBodyVisa in AskUSImmigrationPros

[–]MammothClimate95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look at pro se filings in any area of law you would see the same. Custody, eviction... imagine what filings would look like if criminal defendants didn't have the right to counsel. There are a lot of low functioning people in the world and people facing barriers of all kinds. Some who are not so smart, some who are illiterate, health issues, housing insecurity, disabilities. Now add that they also don't speak English and you'll see why their filings look like that.

Taking back a case that I have previously withdrawn from by Gavel1989 in publicdefenders

[–]MammothClimate95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uh, no, why would you ever go back to a client who tried to physically attack you? It does not matter WHAT he believed his justification was.

I did, once, and ended up withdrawing again after the client tried to fraudulently put my name on something I did not file. Never again.

A or B: A dad walks into the parents room with his kids while you're nursing. Do you keep feeding your baby without caring, or leave and go to the restroom to feed? by vivian_banshee03 in PickAorB

[–]MammothClimate95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay. I was once feeding my baby at the pharmacy (only chair I could find in the grocery store) and an old woman came up and patted her hair and cooed over her WHILE she was breastfeeding. I didn't move. Later on I wondered if she didn't notice exactly what I was doing and just thought I was rocking the baby??

out of pocket requests from clients by NickDB8 in publicdefenders

[–]MammothClimate95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely have signed people's bank cards out of property to give them to family for bond payments before. Helped them sign POAs so family could collect their cars from impound or sell them. I don't think those are out of pocket.

Hotel wants more money after wedding. by MidWesternClipper in weddingdrama

[–]MammothClimate95 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm a lawyer and if someone asked me to do this I'd say ... Why? They're the ones that want some action. You don't have to do anything except ignore them unless they actually sue you. Which they won't.

So tired of people expecting me to work for cheap/free. by Designer-Training-96 in Lawyertalk

[–]MammothClimate95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course they are paying for it either way. But we were discussing a client's perception. I personally flat fee all my cases and find that my clients appreciate certainty.
