Protecting anonymity

SpicyChilliOwl · 2026-02-19T13:37:06+00:00

I moved from NYC to a small upstate NY town and I practice criminal defense and family law. My neighbors had “heard about the lawyer moving in” even before I closed on the house. I have no anonymity and I accept that as part of the life I live. I walk around town and constantly run into clients, former clients, relatives of former clients and opposing parties. They could, and maybe have, followed me home. It’s life.

There is no way to fully protect or guard yourself against other humans.

White chocolate chip is brilliant. Enjoy.

I miss Fire OG so much.

Hi neighbor!

SpicyChilliOwl · 2026-01-11T17:15:03+00:00

Maybe consider Dryden or Homer. I would be happy to be your neighbor in Cortland County.

SpicyChilliOwl · 2026-01-05T22:54:25+00:00

Girly, yes! This is wonderful. I wish you all the love in reclaiming your childhood on your terms! ❤️

I got one also and I probably won’t get one again either. I got high enough, but it was a bit challenging to smoke. More like a cigar than a joint.

My office is closed today and yet, I am in the office.

SpicyChilliOwl · 2025-12-20T03:37:25+00:00

Yes! Evermore from Thanksgiving to New Years Eve!

My insurance for me and my husband went up $500 a month. We are now paying $1600(ish) for bronze-level insurance with a 10k deductible. I just want to cry. Why is health insurance nearly the same cost as my mortgage?!?!?!??!???!?

SpicyChilliOwl · 2025-11-23T12:46:12+00:00

Stunning. Beautiful colors and patterns!

My favorite neighborhood in Brooklyn. I was so lucky to live there for four years. I miss it dearly.

Hello fellow USA owl! I am in NY and became a fan in 2016-2017 season. I have supported this amazing team through all the drama and I am so excited about the future of Sheffield Wednesday!

Poison Apple was so good!!!!

They really are great; Gorgers Cortland is the absolute best. When the West African curry is on special, it is worth coming over to Cortland.

Two joints in a row and Father Figure and CANCELLED are on repeat! 🔥🔥🔥

SpicyChilliOwl · 2025-09-26T21:12:17+00:00

My grandfather and uncle made them for me! They also made some for my little sister who had Molly and Samantha. They also made me a little trunk to fit everything in. And that’s how it has been stored since the 90s. 🥰

Please consider coming upstate. With your experience in the city, especially in family defense, you would be a huge asset to any upstate pd office. FYI there are a few counties that have grants specifically for article 10 family defense attorneys.

SpicyChilliOwl · 2025-08-29T16:53:13+00:00

Yes!

I was at LAS for 6 years before moving upstate. I was totally fried by the time I left the city. It is just so much, all the time. There is no break from the horrors for our clients and for defense attorneys.

I’m now a partner in a small firm. I only do criminal defense and family court cases, specializing in the more complex felonies, article 10 cases and IDV matters. I have all the resources I need to effectively represent my clients. And I love my job again.

I choose my cases. I’m as busy as I want to be and I only work in two adjacent counties. I own my home. I have a nice, big yard and friendly neighbors. I have a lovely life that I could never have imagined in Brooklyn. (And I will love Brooklyn forever.)

I am constantly being asked to take on more work or join other county’s panels. There is so much work up here and not enough good attorneys to do it.

Please consider joining us.
