Why do attorneys like to brag about how much they work?

Posted on October 27, 2011 by mwnewt

I know two attorneys who work from 10 – 5, M – F and not a second more. Granted, I also know one who works 60 – 70 hours a week, but she is crazy.
BQ: of the two lazy lawyers I know, one works in Immigration and the other does Wills and Contracts, stuff like that. Which fields of law require the most work and which require the least?

Posted on September 15, 2011 by mwnewt

I’m currently on the track to go to law school. I think I want to be a professor of law at a good university, but I’m not really sure if I want to be an attorney, per se. Would that be necessary though?

I have an arrest warrant in Colorado for a DUI probation violation. What should I do?

Posted on September 14, 2011 by mwnewt

I got in a misdemeanor DUI wreck in 2005 in Weld County, Colorado. I received some fines and was ordered 2 years probation with alcohol counseling and random breath tests. I paid all my fines but never showed up for the treatment. I am from Kansas and had just moved to Colorado when I got in my DUI wreck. No one was hurt, I was the only vehicle involved.

I moved back home to Kansas about a year and a half ago, and naively assumed that since I had paid my fines the court might not come after me. I now have a warrant for my arrest.

I need to know what I should do. I am thinking about taking a bus to Colorado and turning myself in, but I am completely broke and can’t afford an attorney. I am trying to join the military, which is why I’m looking into this now.

What will happen to me if I just go turn myself in? I was originally given 90 days in jail but they let me off on probation.

PLEASE HELP! Let me know what legal actions I should take, and what to expect. THANK YOU!!
my probation period was two years. the warrant came out 1 month after the probation was to have ended.
Ok two additional things- What will happen to me if I ignore this and go on living life as normal? Will the marshals come get me or something?

Also, I am extremely serious about wanting to join the military. Could someone with some legal knowledge let me know if this might have any bearing on my situation?
