Know any 'pro bono' lawyers?

[mikalabird]

I've got a problem that could start my law career, but being a student money is not in abundance. Maybe Lily, being around longer than myself, might know of some good lawyers!


Being extremely serious,

You know what Siser? I was going to ask you the same thing! I am serious too.

What did you mean by problem that could start your law career?

Well, I am on a long arduous journey to become a respectable, yeah maybe, lawyer. I decided late in my life, that I was going to undertake a hard task. I've been out of school for many years and tired of the garbage jobs out there that can't allow myself to attain the many wonderful things in life. I must start from scratch and obtain a glorious degree in something, anything so I may begin law school sometime in the near future. All in all, this will take me a short 7 years. Something happened at my last job of 31/2 years that totally disgusted me on the legal system, and makes me even more determined to become a lawyer.

Greetings Mikalabird,
Why go trough all that trouble. A good sales person makes more money than all other professions. Pick a good company, knock on their door and tell them that you are ready to go towork in sales tomorrow. Make sure that they give you good training. Make sure that the rewards are commensurate with the
the risk. Live below your means, while you are learning and building your future. Living below your means is not a bad idea
even afterwards. Worked for me.

It's not that I can't live below my means as you say. I've just decided to choose not to anymore. I've been in sales all my life, whether it be retail or hospitality industry. I need more, I want more, I have to have more, more, more. Sorry, sometimes I get carried away. I've actually always wanted to be in the law field. At first when I was a little girl I always wanted to be a cop. Well, I did irreputable damage to my back that only surgery could fix. Forget it, 50/50 chance of walking wasn't great odds. So instead I chose to work out at the gym to strengthen it, for the rest of my life, and pursue a different avenue. Plus I got screwed as a minor and want to give something back.

Mikalbird,

Why get a degree as you can be a lwyer without one. All you need to do is study on your own and pass the bar exam. This is not true in all states but many states have this available.
In Texas to be an elected judge one must be 18 years old.

hehehe ok here come the wise remarks.
