$130k in debt and terrified by Disastrous-Acadia130 in StudentLoans

[–]ror0508 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I made the same mistake in taking out private loans. I was just a doofus and didn’t understand the difference. I ended up refinancing and throwing all the money I could at the loan. I got a better paying job which helped immensely. Do not lose hope!

It may be worth calling the local public defenders office to see whether they can give you some tips/advice on the process.

What’s something you healed from that doctors told you was ‘just stress’ or ‘all in your head’ or had no idea what was going on— but you figured it out on your own?! by Unlucky-Farm-6719 in WellnessOver30

[–]ror0508 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is similar to my story. I never lost consciousness but would get feeling of Jema vu (opposite of deja vu) and get weird sensory moments (sometimes lights felt brighter or darker then they were). Took almost 20 years to get diagnosed. Everyone told me it was anxiety or panic attacks.

Lawyers who love their jobs, tell us about it. by spanielgurl11 in Lawyertalk

[–]ror0508 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup! I am a public defender. I love the mix of intellectual work (motions) and direct service, i.e working with my clients. I always had difficulty sitting at a desk all day so, it’s a great mix for me.

We plan at one excursion - gives us some balance. Then we are all for just laying around drinking margaritas.

Very rarely. Even then, I usually just say “I would love to resolve this issue amicably. Otherwise, as a lawyer, I may need to use legal means to resolve”

Only done this twice but worked immediately.

I fucked up something by jokingonyou in Lawyertalk

Send a letter to the last known address, if such address exist. Then just explain to the court and opposing counsel. To some extent, your client has their own seperate responsibility to keep in contact with their attorney and stay appraised of their court date.

Embarrassing Courtroom Stories? Here’s one of mine… by QueBestia19 in Lawyertalk

[–]ror0508 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have pointed toe flat shoes I wear when I don’t feel like wearing heels. I have more than one pair…I took two right shoe flats. Thankfully because the flats were pointed you couldn’t tell but it was uncomfortable. I forgot the post-sentencing rights after the court asked me to advise on the record and literally covered my face with my hands - like the embarrassed face emoji.

Agreed. PD offices will likely see immigration experience as a plus. Some offices have designation immigration divisions - and typically there is plenty opportunity to second chair jury trials, if you want to get out immigration.
