Most of the physical therapists we get for lawsuits are run out of chiropractor's offices. So they're getting PT but it's under the direction of a chiropractor.

They're still getting heat treatment, massages, electrostimulation and all other sorts of treatment for soft tissue but our experts are normally chiros.

So now when people file controverting affidavits to our medical bills (paying some shill $200 to say "NUH UH, not necessary) we have to have an expert come testify and that expert's a chiro.

An expert in chiro is like an expert in homeopathy, an expert in quakery.

I hope you have to burn preemptory challenges to get people who know poo poo is quakery out of your jury.

MDs average $180k, chiropractors average $130k. Dentists are around $160k.

Show me a dentist that works MD hours. I need an appointment on a Friday. The point is that chiros and dentists make bank while having a sweet lifestyle. MDs that work dentist hours make much less than 180

Experts in quakery are very useful for cases involving conscientious objection, simple living, and the production of oatmeal.

Not true (at least in my case) as my life is just a series endless days commuting to the local court because family law is hell and never work for family businesses.

I wonder, though, has anyone ever joined a law firm with friends? Almost every family/friend business venture ended up in each party never ever speaking to each to each other and the business itself burning up in the process ofc.

It's just lots of bad feelings all around :v:

One of my friends knows of one firm that has a history of hiring friends, and also has a history of friends quitting and getting fired for petty dumb reasons and has a history of not being very profitable.

I'd bet they're just as bad as husband/wife firms.

I would presume it'd be as inefficient but who knows. I think it's just work is stressful and so is family/friends and the combination just never works out well in the long run.

I used to do conflicts before I went to law school but you didn't need to be an attorney for it - it was a bunch of non-legal staff who prepared reports for the relevant partner committees about potential conflicts and what the partners of those clients thought.

That's what I thought. My firm has never had one, but yesterday I found out we have an attorney working in conflicts, but attorney isn't part of her title. The firm looking for a conflicts attorney has attorney in the title and its a larger firm than we are.

Bitch, please. You couldn't go a week without pm'ing me. Btw gave you a shoutout in the latest DAI let's play.

Also, Alaska guy who might be getting laid off: last time that happened here one of the prosecutors who got the axe walked into the motor vehicle and misdemeanor court and nolled the entire docket. Dunno how much that cost the state, but he's a legend now. If you have to go, go like that. Also, get a better union.

Honestly, I'm not rehabilitated at all because I don't think I did anything wrong. As I am unwilling to acknowledge guilt I am demonstrating poor rehabilitative potential.

However, it was pretty fun watching xylo have a temper tantrum justifying his decision. Would love to see screencaps of all these pm warning discussions that allegedly happened. I mean, for gently caress's sake if you are going to be the power tripping overlord of an online forum at least have the decency to own your tyranny.

Phone posting. Will link later. And forums jail was great. Got. 2 briefs filed, took over as chair of a bar section, did 2 hearings on probable cause, opened the show I'm in, cast the one I'm directing, got approved to direct next year, was named to theater's executive board, remodeled bathroom, taught my kid to swim and got caught up on tv. Speaking at city Memorial Day service today.
