Updates

Sorry it has been a very busy month. That tends to happen sometimes when running your own law firm. I have multiple trials in the coming weeks. Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know I am still around and hope to get back to posting more regularly very soon. I have a few bands that have contacted me recently and I will get those reviews out as soon as possible.

    Good luck with your trials. Chances are they'll reach a deal at the last minute. You know in the 13 months I practiced law, I had only two trials? And they were both in traffic court? Sure, I handled depositions, hearings, pleadings, motions, briefs, and all that, but never the jury trial I was hoping for. I guess that's criminal law for you.

    What are you specializing in?

    Never mind, I just found you. Criminal and family. So you probably don't do too many actual trials. Maybe it's different in a small town?

    I don't do a lot of trials. Typically I can get them settled before resorting to that. I have done about five trials so far. No jury trials yet.

    And criminal defense is my main specialty.

    I did a meager two trials in my 13 months of practice, both of them on traffic issues. (The Lancaster County Attorney's Office has a policy against making deals in traffic, non-DUI cases, or at least they did at the time, but there's a new CA now so I'm not sure.) The first of those trials was for a trucker whose employer wanted him to fight it, but he didn't have a good issue or anything, so the trial was just to prove the point that we would insist on his right to trial if we didn't get a deal. The second was a much, much more interesting issue that you may or may not have heard of: entrapment by estoppel. I'll tell you about it some time.

    Anyway, I was inordinately successful (mostly by luck) in traffic court, so there was kind of a joke at the office that I could start a practice solely focused on that, insisting on a trial in every case until the CA would finally agree to start making deals on those cases. I'm sure it would have made me very popular at their office.

    I take that to mean that you (Kelly) are no longer practicing law?

    Also, good luck on your upcoming trials metallattorney.
