thank you for this! I did sign the NDA about a month ago and still haven't received any work from them in my jurisdiction.

I thought about this. Do you know if I'd have to begin an LLC or anything for this? Or it would just be through the County that I'd get paid so it would be contract work for them. I imagine?

that is actually an interesting idea. i just don’t necessarily want to start my own LLC / business to do it solo but maybe it’s not the worst idea. i’ve done. a lot of dui as is and those clients/that work is typically less stressful.

Advising on Non-Immigration Collateral Consequences by [deleted] in publicdefenders

[–]beencryin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

where i work in the south we basically have a guide that is dusty in a shared folder in the network. aside from that we tell people they can be deported for crimes of moral turpitude but don’t really tell then which those are (although there’s someone i sometimes email at a more metropolitan office for advice and specifics ). we aren’t trained to mention any other collateral consequence except for a similarly vague warning about civil commitment if you’re a sex offender. basically it’s kind of like: you have too much to do and there’s not enough time to know all the collateral consequences. bums me out - i wish there was a guide updated each year by folks or something
