  • Hello

    On the advice of one waupinmon, and the example of happyone, I'd just like to quickly introduce myself.

    Age: 30
    Education: BYU for undergrad, and the U for law school.
    Occupation: solo practitioner
    location: the desert. Not sure how I ended up here, though. Must have been my wife's doing.
    Some kids, 6 and 2.
    Mission: Chicago.
    hobbies: sadly, this is one. no offense. I used to play xbox with my son, until he got immeasurably better than me and I couldn't keep up. Damn job prevents me from spending the necessary time, I guess. I also tool around on the guitar, but I realize that I'm no good whenever my wife makes a request and I have to admit I can't play it.

    Anyway, I'll probably spend most of my time in the Back Fence and the Foyer. I'm not the type of guy that can really parse stats or anything in the sports categories, although I do consider myself a sports fan.

    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

    Great having you. Do you specialize in any particular type of law.

      Thanks, nice to be here.

      Being a solo, I take a lot of different cases, mostly small stuff. Lots of personal injury, some consumer bankruptcy (more now), the occasional family law case. I don't do divorces, though.

        Welcome!

        Your moniker and avatar are making me hungry. Any back story there?

          I have some Persian family on my mother's side. My maternal grandmother used to make great falafel. I guess I picked that name just as sort of a small connection to my actual self (as opposed to my online self). At the end of the day, however, I'm just a white dude with darker than average hair and an anglo name.

            There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

              I hope you haven't gone soft and decided that there are some of us who are "okay."

                      Great to have you here. Please feel free to say something outlandish and self-aggrandizing so everyone will forget about my troubled past.

                        Oops. To be honest, I scored it as a minor victory that I at least got the letters in your name right, if not the order.

                            what the hell is wrong with divorces? They are usually so cheerful and over quickly with few issues.

                              Woah there, buddy. Make fun of the profession all you want, but no need to inject profanity.
