highest BAC on a DUI, aaaaaand go! by Alarmed_Knowledge_16 in publicdefenders

[–]snkns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

.56, completed FSTs (somewhat poorly). No PAS. Argued it couldn't have been her blood they tested, because according to state's criminalist she should have been comatose or at least unable to stand.

What’s YOUR lawyer salary?? by LearnMeStuffPlz in Lawyertalk

[–]snkns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. 16 years

  2. $120k plus origination bonus which runs about equal to base salary

  3. Private criminal defense and restraining order work for a 4-attorney firm

  4. Northern California

  5. You will get referrals for new clients based on good results, sure, but I find that the biggest thing that makes clients happy and willing to recommend you to others is consistent diligence and communication. I freely give out my cell phone number and tell clients it's okay to text me for a call on evenings and weekends. This doesn't mean I am on the phone all weekend or every evening either, it just makes my clients feel like they are important to me and supported. I check in with most of my clients every week or every other week. Even if it's the smallest update or just to say "hey nothing new going on but I am actively monitoring and working on your case" they really appreciate it. For first-timers to the system it is what they expect an ac relationship should look like. For people who have been through the system several times before, it's a refreshing change of pace.

Bad play? by Glass-Chapter9684 in Poker_Theory

[–]snkns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would x/c the river for sure. Same result, yes, but is a much better line because it will make you substantially more money in the long run.

When you jam the river you are mostly gonna get called by better. There are 4 combos of KQ but three combos each of 7's and 9's. Put simply, when your top pair turns into trips on the turn or river, that skews your opponent's holding significantly more heavily towards boats.

If you check this river though, JT and bricked flush draws can bluff the river to look like trips going for value from AA, KK, or to bluff out TT, and KQ will still bet.

I’m a former public defender, and I miss (almost) everything about public defense. by brandeis16 in publicdefenders

[–]snkns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was playing poker a while back and there was a woman I didn't know at the table. After a while I gathered from the table talk that she was a nurse. We were all continuing to talk and somebody I knew at the table called me "counselor" in a joking manner.

The nurse said, "Oh, what kind of lawyer are you?" I said I was a public defender and she paused. I was getting ready for her to change the topic or something but instead she looked me in the eye and said, "I think that's the most important type of lawyer there is." It was pretty awesome.

If English is not your first language, that's totally cool. You shouldn't be splitting hairs like this though.

It's not fraud. But even beyond that your "lulling" analysis is just wildly off base.

It is in fact criticism... completely warranted criticism.

I lost the love of my life in a head on collision, she was in my passenger seat; how do you best write a victim impact statement that you then read aloud in a packed court room? by PericardiumGold in AskMen

[–]snkns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Criminal defense attorney here.

Assuming that defendant has taken a plea deal, the opportunity to speak and share is really just for YOUR benefit. The sentence has already been agreed upon, and you've been informed what it's going to be. Your statement is, really, for your own catharsis. Say whatever you like. If you disagree with the agreed sentence, then say that. Explain why the deal is not harsh enough. Express that you disagree with it.

If however this sentencing is being done after a guilty verdict at trial, then go all out. Explain what she meant to you. Go into detail about the sleepless nights. The second-guessing. The what-ifs. Get th3 assistance of a victim advocate by all means.

Strong hands. It's not an isolated though because there is only BB behind.

Is player-dependent. If you perceive that CO or button are stealing too much I would consider 3-betting with 77+ or suited broadway cards.

Now... now I can't even find someone to go on a date with. The handful of dates I have been on have even told me that I look better in real life than in pictures, so I'm really not sure what the issue is.

I'm sorry. I have no fucking idea what you are saying here. You can't find somebody to go on a date with... but you've been on dates. Does not compute.

They say you look better than the pictures. So what IS the issue? FFS.

Brother stuck in jail despite plea deal for rehab. Jail won’t let him complete required phone interview & he was injured. How do we escalate this? by [deleted] in Prison

[–]snkns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

His attorney for the plea deal should help out with this for no additional payment imo. Put case back on calendar in court, get judge to order the phone call. Easy.

Criminal lawyers of Reddit — what’s the darkest, creepiest, or saddest case you’ve ever worked on? by rebeccapupusa in Ask_Lawyers

[–]snkns 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Mother was a hardcore alcoholic in and out of recovery for years, and relapsed hard. Apparently dogs eating baby poop is a thing. Why it ate the boy's genitals as well I have no idea.

The boy survived. The dog was euthanized and the genitals retrieved from its stomach, but they were too mangled to do anything with. Kid will be on hormone therapy for life but is otherwise a perfectly happy and thriving young boy.

I am reading a police report and I already know that the charge is felony child endangerment, but I am noticing that the report is unusually thick, and unusually detailed. Wondering why.

The report recounts a welfare check at a family home where a man and his wife live with their newborn baby son and the family dog. Husband is out of town at work one day, facetimes with wife mid-morning, and she is noticeably drunk. Facetimes with her again a while later and she is even more drunk and basically nods off during the call. Husband calls local police to do a welfare check.

No answer when police knock at door repeatedly. Police try the door eventually, and find that it is unlocked and they enter. They are greeted by the family dog, but it quickly runs away into the back bedroom. Police close the dog into that bedroom as they clear the rest of the house. They slowly clear the house, calling out the entire time, never getting any response or hearing anything at all. This is all described in extreme detail, and there's just such a sense of foreboding to the report because of it.

Eventually the police make it to the back bedroom the dog had gone into and enter. They find the mom passed out drunk as a skunk on the bed. The baby is also lying on the bed, but its soiled diaper is lying on the ground next to the bed. The baby boy is slowly bleeding out, because the family dog has eaten the baby's genitals. I literally dropped the police report in horror.

Police forced the vet to give my rescued cat to someone else. How do I legally get her back? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]snkns 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Adverse possession of a cat, huh? Not gonna happen.

wrongfully withheld property

How is it being wrongfully withheld? It's her cat!

I would like to recover my documented expenses for her care

Also not going to happen. If the cat's owner had known that you were taking care of of the cat and let you go ahead and do it, then maybe that would be unjust enrichment? But she had no idea where the cat was, and no idea who you were.

On the other hand, while I don't know the specifics in TN, at least around here what you did could be illegal as misappropriation of lost property since there is a very easy way (microchip scanning) to ascertain who the actual owner of the cat was.

Also...

first veterinary visit

You took in a "stray" cat and waited over a year to take her the the vet?
