You can be sarcastic, rude, hypersensitive and disimissive, but I would ask the following questions to see if you really have no use for a "criminal attorney" :

[blah, blah, blah]

7. THE DETRACTORS TO THIS BLOG CLEARLY HAVE NO FEAR OF EVER DRIVING AFTER ADRINKING 2-3 BEERS IN 2 HOURS.

[blah, blah, blah]

11. IF YOU FIND THIS THREAD COMICAL, THEN DISREGARD, BUT REMEMBER NEXT TIEM YOU HAVE A FEW PITCHERS WITH BUDDIES; I AM THE CURRENT ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY WHO CAN PREVENT THE POLICE STOPS FROM RUINING YOUR LIFE.

[blah, blah, blah]

As one of the "detractors to this blog," let me fill you in a little. I've been practicing law for over 20 years. I'm licensed both in state courts and in numerous federal courts, including the United States Supreme Court, where I've had more than a few cases.

I also know how to spell (or at least use spellcheck), how to punctuate correctly, how to put together a coherent sentence and even a coherent paragraph, and how to turn off ALL-CAPS. Attorneys who shout all the time usually do so to mask the fact that they really don't have anything worthwhile to say. It's kind of like banging your fist on the table, you know.

But wait . . . there's more! I know what solicitation is, and I know not to offer my services in a jurisdiction where I am not licensed -- both because it would be illegal to do so (talk about things that can screw up your hopes and dreams) and because I have enough self-awareness to understand that I don't know all of the ins-and-outs of the laws in states where I don't practice. I've served on bar grievance committees before -- I know how lawyers can get themselves into hot water this way. (BTW, with the minimal information you've put in this thread -- an email address and a phone number -- it takes about 2 minutes at the Texas State Bar website to figure out who you are and which DA's office you work in.)

So it's not that I have no fear of "ADRINKING 2-3 BEERS IN 2 HOURS." Definitely not. I do, however, have a strong distaste for attorneys who behave in an unprofessional manner.

I never knew that you are an attorney.

You ain't kidding. That Texas site is very easy to navigate. Found his profile in about 2 minutes.

Baylor '98, huh?

A little young to start ruining your career now.

Wow.. I usually never allow these sorts of threads, now I remember why.

I'm going to close this thread before it gets any nastier. Mr. Hudson, you're welcome to participate on Greekchat, but please keep the solicitation off of this site.

As you can see, this place is full of people far more qualified than you -- and all of those people know better than to solicit clients/speaking engagements on the internet. That's not meant to be a dig at your intelligence or professional competence.
