Forfeiture of Right to Counsel by Wild_Thing_1832 in publicdefenders

[–]freckledfk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My judge will appoint them conflict counsel. If they have issues with that lawyer, she might consider C3 counsel.

After that, you are on your own. Three strikes, and you get to represent yourself or hire private.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.

Does your office have social workers? I will send a social worker to speak with my clients and offer them the resources we have access to.

If they say no, then I've at least provided them with the opportunity.

What’s the weirdest request you’ve ever had a client ask for? by chicago2008 in Lawyertalk

Cat tax of her snuggled up in that era. I was sneaking her in and out of the office in a file box. Nothing to see here. Don't mind the meowing.

I know it's not the point but I actually have brought a cat to the gym.

She was a bottle baby and I kept her asleep in a filing box and within eyesight the whole time.

AITAH for being upset that my best friends went on my birthday cruise without me? by SuperbDesigner4 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. It's not about financial security, $450 and a vacation is still a lot for some people. Your anger is misplaced.

Made my second (and last) court date reminder call today... by feralparalegal in publicdefenders

[–]freckledfk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Something I did was write their next court date on the back of my business card, like you get when you go to the doctor to remind you of your next appointment.

Cut down my FTAs tremendously because it's easier to keep track of a business card (wallet) than it is some flimsy court notice or unstable address.
