That Person I Talked To ( The Trustees)

Just who are the Bankruptcy Trustees? Regardless of whether you file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you’ll have a trustee intimately involved in your case.

Rant

I just got an email from other attorney all pissed off at me because two clients did not bring their social security cards to their 341 hearing. I understand other attorney’s stress because the trustee’s give them shit about it and it is a beat down for them. HOWEVER, I don’t need an email reminding [...]

Wolfram & Hart, Attorneys at Law

Today I wore my Wolfram & Hart, Attorneys at Law t-shirt to work today.  I knew it would be a day with no client’s coming into the office, so Boss is cool with jeans and t-shirts on those days. If you don’t know what Wolfram & Hart is, you are not a geek and obviously [...]

Actual Email I Got to Send to a Client

Today is a happy day for me.  This week I have had two different clients who have been an absolute nightmare to deal with. Today I got a phone call bitching me out because they did not get a call back from Boss nor did they get an update phone call from me when Boss [...]

My Boss is a Ninja

So, other attorney and I were looking for Boss yesterday.  We assumed he was in his office because the door was shut and the light was on.  I finally opened the door, and Boss was not there. Other attorney and I started looking for escape routes in his office, knocking on the walls for a [...]
