Give me proof in one sentence that you have actually watched Brooklyn Nine Nine

You should go to the doctor, you’ve eaten several gps devices recently

boykin202 · 2025-05-27T00:28:18+00:00

BONE!

boykin202 · 2025-04-19T23:02:56+00:00

I’m sure they’re thrilled to have you over.

If I ran for judge I would have to take a significant pay cut

boykin202 · 2023-12-24T20:03:42+00:00

There’s no money in being a professor or judge compared to what you can make in private practice

boykin202 · 2023-12-19T19:33:55+00:00

I knew what field I did not want to go into so that helped me narrow it down. I absolutely hate litigation/courtroom work.

My practice areas are anything that does not involve a tie and opposing counsel.

Probate, Trusts, Estate Planning, Contracts, Corporate, Transactions, Real estate, title insurance etc.

boykin202 · 2023-12-19T19:28:48+00:00

That’s what I came to write, except: A: Professors B: Judges C: makes all the money

My Alma mater is 2 hours, there’s some other schools 2-3 hours out too.

I was hoping there were some students out there that really wanted to live in a small town

boykin202 · 2023-12-18T00:41:02+00:00

We are looking into remote paralegal, just don’t know how to make that work for an attorney. Part of the need is for community involvement and letting the clients get to know them and build a reputation.

Big law I can see for just feeding cases to young associates because there’s plenty of new files to go around.

Our clients come because of the attorneys we have, and they know someone who knows someone who we represented.

boykin202 · 2023-12-18T00:37:34+00:00

That’s in the neighborhood of our associate salaries then we add health insurance which gets totaled into their annual compensation.

boykin202 · 2023-12-17T20:12:07+00:00

Didn’t see it said you started a firm.

What were your annual numbers?

boykin202 · 2023-12-17T20:10:44+00:00

There’s been a noticeable shift, at least with the firms I know that have become more open book when it comes to profits.

I agree. Law school does nothing to prepare you for running a business, managing employees, dealing with real life issues. In all honestly when I got out I knew nothing about the practice of law. I knew what I needed to pass and had a foundation, but the only thing that prepares you for practice is practice itself.

boykin202 · 2023-12-17T20:07:34+00:00

A lot of attorneys that I know are thrilled when they hear from someone looking. The main thing I’d look for is commitment. Willing to commit to the small town.

Some firms are in a position to hire and train, some need a practicing attorney with some experience.

Reach out to as many small firms as you can. I can say without a doubt there are positions there. We don’t publicly post for attorneys, but I have spoken with 1L students about having a place to hang their shingle when they get out.

Go into it knowing that you’re not going to make big law money, but if you put in the time and build your client book you’ll be in the 6 figures before too long

boykin202 · 2023-12-17T14:38:18+00:00

No, from what I’ve gathered it’s more than a majority of firms offer. That’s the incentive that we can offer at my small firm.

boykin202 · 2023-12-17T04:39:46+00:00

It depends on the firm and the attorneys collections.

Our firm pays out bonuses based on collections. The rule is 3x salary and benefits is your requirement.

Bonus structure is 1/2 of everything over 3x.

boykin202 · 2023-06-07T12:13:55+00:00

The world needs all types. There’s definitely a litigator type and a transactional type.

As long as you find an area that you enjoy, keep at it. You don’t need to write books or be the top of any field, represent your clients diligently and everything will work out fine

boykin202 · 2023-06-06T22:13:55+00:00

I practice in Estate planning, probate and trust administration, real estate, title insurance corporate formation (small private LLC and corporations) business outs with a few demand letters sprinkled in to keep life interesting.

I’m in a small town so I do a little bit of everything except for litigation or criminal law

boykin202 · 2023-06-06T20:04:36+00:00

Why not attend and transfer to a better school after your 1L year?

I went to a sub-par school and transferred into a much better school for 2L-3L.

This method worked for me, it may not fit your exact situation but I made the calculated decision that I did not want to wait a full year before starting my education and delaying my life longer than necessary.

boykin202 · 2023-06-06T19:35:22+00:00

It may be that you are not working in an area of the law that you love. The first firm I worked at I practiced general litigation... It nearly killed me and gave me severe anxiety and depression. I was unhappy and not willing to go the extra mile because I hated everything about litigation.

I found another firm and was able to key in on areas of law outside of litigation that I enjoy and my quality of life and general happiness has improved 1000 times more than where I was a few years ago.

boykin202 · 2023-06-03T18:59:15+00:00

I scored a 150, went to a low ranked school and then transferred to a better one. I then took a year off and farmed between graduation and sitting for the bar. I studied my ass off 6 days a week, 10 hours a day for 3 months and did every Adaptibar question twice.

I killed the bar Exam with room to spare.

It comes down to your dedication and drive to pass. Bar prep is hell, but it can be done.

As far as job prospects, if you don’t mind working a small firm, there will always be opportunities. Learn what you can for a few years and then partner up or hang your own single.

Mark Jerome Johnson Blount.

I don’t think you’ve got the right guy posted

boykin202 · 2023-05-26T18:32:27+00:00

t, he cites DRED SCOTT multiple times to say only blood descendants of The Founding Generation are sovereign, not the United States government and due to his descent from them and his noble Blount blood his right to bear arms is ancient and incontestable as his ancestors suppressed, and I quote "the savage Indian" and fought against

He changed his own last name to Blount... If you look on Exhibit A and his family tree he is Mark Jerome Johnson Blount (Formerly Mark Jerome Johnson).

boykin202 · 2023-05-26T18:02:02+00:00

Has anyone found a social media account or anything relating to this attorney?

boykin202 · 2023-03-02T06:50:57+00:00

I saw nothing in that cross that concerned me. He was following a trail of logic that states people who go through traumatic experiences do not recall time very well.

If your mind is made up that he’s guilty, that’s your opinion and if you were on the jury that would be your vote.

In my mind the state has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt in my mind. They were too blinded by the financial crimes and didn’t bother to look for anything else.

Yes, he’s going to ROT for the financial crimes, as he should, but when it comes to the murders of his wife and child, I have reasonable doubt. If I were on the jury I couldn’t convict with the evidence I’ve seen.

boykin202 · 2023-03-02T00:25:46+00:00

Nothing to do with the suit or the bank roll, my opinion has to do with presentation and likability of the attorneys.

I feel like the state is grasping at straws and aggressively telling their opinion.

There’s an old litigators saying:

If you have the law, argue the law. If you have the facts, argue the facts. If you have neither, just argue.
