(SUD - substance use disorder)
Clients like this are what keeps me going - this individual has completely turned things around and begun to build a life they are excited to live. And I’m grateful that they won’t have their feet kicked out from under them just as they are starting starting to find them.
I had an amazing outcome in court today. The judge gave my client no active time on a charge with guidelines of 1y6m to 3y8m. This client is in recovery from SUD and has been doing amazingly, clean for the longest period of their life. And I’m so happy them will be able to keep building a life.
And yet the price of regular gas is up by 10 cents at my local station since last night…

This is a great service that I personally use and can tell you it is WELL worth it to get that kind of discount and try it out. Thank you so much for offering this for a really good cause!
This is for a good cause, folks. Anything can help.
Additionally: For those who donate $10 or more, Bear Den Hosting will offer 3 months of access to our private cloud with email ($30 value) - just send a picture of the confirmation to us in an email to Arthfach@Bear-Den.org and we'll be in touch!
Some clients of mine are in a really tough situation and trying to make sure their two very young children are still able to have a Merry Christmas. Please help if you can, or spread the word if you can't. All funds will go straight to the parents, my firm is just organizing. gofund.me/56e34ba9f
2/2: I am only licensed in VA so the offer is for those in the greater Richmond area or within an hour of it. You can write the firm’s number on your arm - I’ll be answering if I can but if I don’t, please leave a message and I will call right back. Our number is 804-292-0550.
1/2: So Saturday is the No Kings protest. Once again, if things go badly, I will be doing sliding scale and (where possible) free representation for anyone who runs into trouble. Please remember holding your phone up to your face to unlock it is legal (so turn off FaceID if you bring it).
Honestly, I've found their help files to be surprisingly intuitive. But the best hints would be from my staff, who cleaned up our use significantly. So my best trick - let the staff set it up to suit their needs and then adjust to your specific needs from there.
But for some attorneys, in particular those doing appeals, 95-100% can be the research and writing aspects. Especially if you work with an attorney who is happy to do the in-court portion. But for that, you could also be a paralegal.
That said, the cost of law school is high, so definitely worth doing an internship or working at a law firm for a bit to make sure you will enjoy it. I love my job - but I’ll likely never get out of debt for it. So it needs to be worth that.
Attack librarian is still 100% my favorite job title.
A very large black and white American flag with the logos for the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard and Space Force imposed on top of it.
This is hanging behind the judge in General District Court today. I find this utterly terrifying. How is this acceptable?
In all honesty, all that federal funding and regulation is due to an extremely broad definition for the Commerce Clause of the constitution. This is just taking that to its ultimate extreme. Which isn’t to say I don’t find that terrifying.
Really not appreciating the part where ICE keeps showing up to the courthouse where I handle appointed cases. There was a protest about it today, but I'm not sure what that achieves. Most of the jails are actively cooperating with the round up of innocent (unless proven guilty) people to "deport".
Thanks @arthfach.com
Our number is 804-292-0550. Please take it with you if you are protesting in the Richmond area. Hopefully it’s completely unneeded, but just in case I will do my best to be available today. If you get our voicemail, please leave a message, I will be checking them.
A brief reminders for those protesting today: set your phone for a lock code only if you bring it with you, and take my office number if you’re in the Richmond vicinity. I will handle protester cases for free where possible, at a discounted rate if not.
Happy Pride Month, from one of my bosses.
This article is about how a vehicle hit a logging truck and the driver was killed by the logs coming through the windshield.
Ok, this is not ok. My entire generation’s phobias of these things not being safe to drive behind have now been vindicated. And also… how is it possible that we transport things in such a badly designed manner when the logging industry is massive and makes a fortune destroying the planet?!
To be clear, intellectual property and contracts are not my main areas of practice. But we can definitely at least see what we’d be taking on.
Definitely up to discussing it. @arthfach.com
4 new words added to the script. I want my lawyer. Every day is shut the fuck up Friday
Since this is in the news again, why you shouldn’t talk to cops:
Talk to them 3 times, first time “I stopped at the store and picked up cupcakes”, 2nd you say cakes, 3rd you say dessert.
Now you keep “changing your story” and that can be used against you. That you told the truth is no protection.
Happy Feline Friday y'all
My staff all know things I don’t. That’s why I have staff. No one can know everything. And the point of specializing is to become an expert in one area. You can do anything but you cannot do *everything*.
New song from Fiona Apple. This is what happens to families when someone is held without bond.

You were told that they are represented, that isn't actually a joke. So please direct anything related to these defamation claims to me. They dropped the website for our contact information below already.
Also also, I am amused that a statue of a butt is enough to trigger moderation
