Made a mid 5 figure deposit via cashier's check and Chase flags it for a hold until the Sept. 12th. It was a deposit directly into my business operating account for a freaking law firm. And now definitely looking at other banks now. Mercury and Sofi are good I hear. Chase, please get your shit together, or don't, this guy is moving on.

It's my daughter's b day tomorrow. She turns 7 and she loves animals and she is a super sweet and thoughtful girl who wants to be a "animal doctor." She does know about my Twitter friends, so I was thinking if ya'll were kind enough and had a minute if you could send pics of

8.5 months since I've opened my solo firm. For the most part. I am still solo. My wife quit her job on December 7th, and she wants to work for me, and I've had about 10 people reach out to ask about a job. I had an IC do some work for me as well. I figure that's a good sign. I have not hired anyone full time, and have kept expenses low. Here's what I learned so far in these 8.5 months, a 🧵 You need an office. Whatever it is, just get a space. About 40 % of people ask where my office is during the initial consult. I tell them downtown, and that's the end of the inquiry. I tell them we can meet in person if they want, about 5 % accept that offer. Usually we do Facetime/Zoom. I still always meet them in person at some point, even if it's to have coffee or something or for final signing. Make sure they know you are REAL. Here's the big part, you do not want your home address on correspondence. You need to have a cover. Not only does it probably look unprofessional to have your home listed (Yes, people care about that, even individuals), you do not want your home address plastered all over. I've already had a couple threats and what not, and there's no way I'd want to hand them my home address outright. People become suspicious about PO Boxes too it seems. Also, my office lease has 3 conference rooms available if I need to do a deposition, big meetings, or something like that. Knowing that I have a space to conduct larger operations in has given me a huge sense of relief.

It's our 10 year wedding anniversary today, and I've been a licensed attorney for almost 10 years. Considering I'm not divorced, I think I'm actually doing better than a lot of lawyers 🤣

The lawyers of Twitter are in large part super cool and so nice. Where are these lawyers in real life?

The will leaves everything to my clients, the kids, and not the widow who reeked havoc on this estate. I can't believe I found this today.

I will 100 % delete later because I hate having my face on here, but the below was back January 2025 after I came down with a splitting headache two days prior to going to urgent care and then the ER. I had no idea what was going on. At the ER I was diagnosed with ocular shingles at 39. I had no idea what that really was, but they tell me it is triggered by stress mostly. The headache began a few hours after I got out of Court on a Thursday. I woke up Saturday morning and my eye was completely swollen shut. It stayed swollen shut for three weeks while I was treated with Valtrex for many months, which turns out has some crazy side effects. It was one of the worst experiences of my life and it was at that point that I told myself that none of the self imposed stress was worth it. Ocular shingles is also very rare. Optho told me I had an extremely aggressive case to boot. I also learned that you cannot get the shingles vaccine unless you are 50 per the FDA rules. There are exceptions for being immune compromised. Anyways, for some reason this picture popped up in my photos and it gave me a reminder to chill out. Hopefully this PSA helps someone else out there during these stressful times. Take care of yourselves and maybe even have a laugh on how ridiculous I looked, hehe.

Lawyers and attorneys are the biggest gas lighters in all the land. It used to piss me off, still does at times, but I am learning to laugh more and more at how ridiculous a lot of these people are.

Lying awake in bed at 2 am with anxiety levels through the roof and thoughts racing through my head about work. Feels like no escape. When I wake up and move and I feel mostly fine. I know I'm not the only one, but I'm really sick of feeling like this. So common, but something I've never dealt with before like this as a business owner. I've never been under more pressure in my life. And the real bitch? While some of it is certainly real, but still probably exaggerated, most of it is imaginary and all up in my head. How utterly confusing and exhausting it is at times. They say one day you'll look back and laugh. I hope that's true.

Don't become just another angry, pessimistic lawyer. Don't become just another angry, pessimistic lawyer. Don't become just another angry, pessimistic lawyer.

Client who texts me at 8 pm, after I'm in bed, gets a 5 am text response. Sorry, I don't make the rules. Good morning.

10k retainer quoted on a 11 year old Trust dispute. I will be retained. Trial early Fall. Mix of family law, dv, trust, and landlord/tenant. Time to move, and it's a nasty one, but let's prep it up and roll with it. Most would say no, but I say YES.

"Her name is on the Deed but not on the mortgage" is his defense 😂. This guy is about to have some rough times.

My Mom left my Dad when I was 13. A lot remains unknown. My Mom is trying to get an annulment. I didn't realize I'd be reliving my parent's divorce and being "family law mediator" at age 40. Cool, calm, neutral. I think it works out. It's powerful for me to actually acknowledge what I am doing. I have been shy about it in the past but became more vocal over the years. Let's maybe find the truth? But be careful. Perhaps it's better left uncovered. This has been bothering me lately, but tonight I realized there is a handle on it.

Mayor - "So what do you do?" Me - "I'm a lawyer." "I won't hold that against ya." What type of law? I expose corruption in the Probate Court. The look on his face.

This has been a simply magnificent summer in San Diego weather wise. Not too hot. Cooler nights. Very moderate overall. And we don't have AC. How's the summer where you are?

So, I'm almost afraid to ask, but what is everyone's opinion of quickbooks online?

Personally, I think this is cheap, and everyone should ignore this firm, but this type of marketing does work in order to get a ton of (terrible) clients, and this firm is super well known in San Diego. Not for me however.

Our 4 yo son is starting TK in a couple weeks. He just asked if the other kids are going to laugh at him. 💔

New printer ordered. Brother black white laser jet. Don't buy HP, esp laserjet color HP. It was nothing but trouble.

Hear me out. A law firm barbershop.
