Major Congrats To enkeivette!
 

And just in time to hopefully keep me out of Federal prison, Adam passed the bar!

Congratulations Adam!

Yes! Finally, congratulations.

Congrats to Adam Esq. !

Way to go Adam. I see Motorgen Member's pro bono work in your future.

First he's going to sue CARB.

Yay me!!!! Took forever too!!

Thanks guys :)

But here you are. Done.

Now cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of litigation!

Congrats!

What kind of law are you going to practice?

The lucrative kind, haha

Not a state hired criminal defense lawyer then huh?

Not civil suits...

Corporate law?

I wouldn't work for the state as a lawyer. Get paid nothing compared to big guns in law firms.

I actually have respect for Defense attorneys. There are a lot of people who get railroaded by zealot district attorneys and for those without much means, the public defender is the only thing between them and serious punishment. Though there is no money in it relative to private defense.

Yea I hear you. But we don't want poor Enkei in the poor house. If he is a big baller like Johnny Cocheran or whatever his name is then that means we all get to take turns in the passenger seat of his Pagani Zonda... DIBS!!!

Id never buy a Zonda. Im more of a blown Z06 kinda guy. Why pay 200k when a 60k car will do the same

Status symbol... when you roll up to the local watering hole in a $200k carbon fiber bullet powered by 12 cylinders of AMG magic, the seas part, the velvet rope drops, and even the tightest of vice grip legs part. If I was making a million a year, I would probably be a sucker and buy one. I love those things. It's like Richard Hammond says, it makes you feel like you are 10 years old again, pressing buttons in your imaginary rocket ship.

But the car guy in me agrees with you. Not much better out there than 7.0 liters of supercharged destruction. Plus you have the old saying my dad (A c5 owner) loves "The corvette gets em wet".

FTFY

Zondas are up over a million though, not $200k. Hell a new ZR1 is $120k. If I were an oligarch, I'd have a Koenigsegg Agera R.

I like how you think. Well except the blower :cheers:

Late to the party, but Congrats to you !!!

Hey congratulations; now stop mucking about and get a job. ;)

:thumbs_up::thumbs_up::thumbs_up:

Congrats.

Thanks guys! :beer:

Just saw this one. Congrats Adam. May Kalifornians now live in fear. :lmfao:

Hahaha Thanks Bird!

Dude I am so happy for you that shit is bad ass.

Congratulations - politics next?

Thanks guys! No, Im going to try to get into litigation for a while and see if I dont get sick of it

Well, with the way you and I go at it. Not likely ;)

Haha, arguing in a court room is very different than arguing with a lay person. Im forced to repeat myself and reassert my position when I argue with friends and gfs, when you argue with attorneys you state your argument well while insinuating theirs is shit... and thats it. You dont have the opportunity to go back and forth like 14 year olds. Its more stressful in some ways, and less in others.

And the fantastic thing about the law is, when youre arguing the law and not the facts... the judge lets you know who is wrong, and who is right. Theres none of this pussy middle ground compromise shit. Take a seat, youre done. I love that, because people that think they were good at arguing go into law school with that mentality and quickly get a judicial smack down. Can you smell what the lady of justice is cooking?

Meat loaf?

No, shes serving a "shut up and sit the fuck down," with a side of "ego deflater."

Well, at least there are appeals processes.

Say, does this mean you can actively practice law now, or do you need to do some other bullshit first? Question two, are you limited to what kinds of law you can practice?

Basically, if I want to start using you for basic K law stuff, you down? I pay big money, we're talking 5s, maybe even 10s of dollars an hour here! ;)

BTW, I hate it with a passion for a huge set of reasons the most expensive attorneys we have to use are our anti-trust guys in DC. I think it's a $10k day retainer. They make millions . . .

I have to fill out and send in my bar card and take the attorneys oath. If I wait till Dec first I dont have to pay 2012 dues, and 2013 dues are waived... so in a few days itll be super legit, like omg.

I can do everything, I have to do something extra to get into federal courts, but its not hard and I plan on it. Ya, let me know what you want me to do, I have time and Im unemployed so Ill work cheap right now... plus youre super cute... Just send me an email.

I have actual experience doing crim, corporate, bankruptcy, family law, contracts, mass torts and PI torts, a bit of employment law, and a dash of malpractice.

Ive interned at 5 places now, I took the spaghetti approach. Figured it was better not to put all my eggs in one basket. Makes it harder to get one specific job, but Im more marketable for a wider range of jobs.

Cool. I may have something for you as early as this weekend. Nothing secret. It would be an addendum to a purchase agreement for a property laying out concretely under what conditions what happens to our "earnest money" deposit. But if the seller wants to be chill about it, may not be necessary. In any event, I'm canceling my Legal Shield! Maybe I could pay you a monthly retainer for personal and business. :smack: No, but seriously, that may not be entirely stupid.

Once you get squared away and give me some guidance on you rates, I'll pimp your desperate ass. Ah, you know what I mean.

Sweet :) Ya I can do that, simple straight forward stuff! Thats what I love about contracts.

Ill PM you my business email. Did you get my PM about the lenses btw?
