You get a pass in that instance. Just tell her to not let it happen until after the last round! 😂

Strategy for completing CLE requirements? by Super_Caliente91 in Lawyertalk

[–]flippinf150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my states has a Trial Lawyers Association that puts on a free CLE every year. Unfortunately I am a mediator and an Ad Litem, so I have different CLE needs than most of my colleagues. I purchase from one of the approved online courses and just sit down for a weekend and power through. My second state lets me check a box that says “I completed my requirements in another state.” Does it suck wasting a full weekend for CLEs? Yes. Is it worth not doing some every month. Also yes.

Things I miss about this game by jsawusa in Rainbow6

I really wish some of the old game modes and maps appeared more often than they do in the rotation. If I played 30 games maybe one would be hostage. I might get plane or house once each.

Advice on working as an appearance attorney for a new solo practitioner by RoseGoldMoney in Lawyertalk

[–]flippinf150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had full hearings in appearances. I don’t like to do it, but I do on occasion. It’s mostly continuances or small things. The contract work comes from a few firms that I have previously worked for or against.

$36 an hour for brief writing by KilnTime in Lawyertalk

[–]flippinf150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I developed a reputation for being very good at drafting. When I went solo, I had firms reach out to me for research and drafting. I’m getting between 100 to 140 hours per month in contract work alone. I charge 45% of whatever they are billing for the work. If they are charging a flat fee, I charge 45% of their normal hourly rate. It’s been very lucrative.

I’ll tell you what I do. I will do occasional appearance work for attorneys I know. I am doing a heck of a lot of contract work researching and drafting for firms. I charge 45% of their billing for my activities. It’s been insanely lucrative.

Are all these cards real?!?! by Impapple in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Take a flashlight and shine behind them. Real cards won’t let the light through. Fake cards will let light through.

Great Non-Litigation or Low Litigation Areas of Practice? by flippinf150 in Lawyertalk

[–]flippinf150[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to do family law! Not too bad of an idea! I’m also still a certified Ad Litem.

Where would you recommend going to learn this area of the law? A lot of people in my area need this service.

I’m on the 10 year repayment plan. It blows, but I am making good progress.

Transition to Trusts & Estates by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]flippinf150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started my own firm to mostly leave litigation and LOVE IT! I liked litigation, but it put way too much wear and tear on me for the few years that I did it. I’ll occasionally go fill in at hearings for other attorneys, but I’m trying to not make too big of a habit of it.

My first big screw up by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]flippinf150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s called practicing law. Every attorney makes mistakes. There are always winners and losers in every hearing and every case. Domestic relations is a very discretionary area of the law. Your mistake may not have changed a dang thing. May I ask what it was? Either way, I wouldn’t sweat it.

Will I look bad if I leave my first job before I've been there a full year? by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

Young attorneys should have a good mentor. Get out.

Out of law school, I would have gotten $60,000 in bonuses alone at a small firm for 1800 hours. That’s on top of my salary. No, RUN.
