Attorney (former Greek) wants to come speak to your org. about preventing legal prblm

[kddani]

Doctors are "board certified." Attorneys are licensed, barred, etc. Board certified is not a term used in the legal community to describe ourselves. (I myself am an attorney licensed to practice in 3 states, so don't accuse me of attorney bashing). EDIT: Apparently Texas does use "board certified" in some instances... my bad. Guess it's a Texas thing because that's what I mainly see when I google. You may want to be aware of rules regarding attorney advertising in different states, since you are basically soliciting every state. In many states you may be prohibited from advertising yourself as a "board certified attorney." Actually, you probably couldn't even advertise in most states because you're not admitted to practice in them!

Also, if you are really an assistant d.a.(Which isn't as big of a deal as you're making it out to be), does your supervising entity know about this "side" job? Do you have your own malpractice insurance to cover this side job?

Your posts here certainly don't reflect a desire to present yourself as a professional. Rather you appear to be a person who, if invited to a chapter, would just lecture on the evils of greek life.

Aside from all that, anyone who is spamming an internet message board to get speaking engagements probably doesn't have enough experience to make it worthwhile. And doing it for free??? I'm calling bs on that. I know what ADA's make, and it is certainly isn't enough to do that. Again, my bet is that the poster is backed by some "church" and has a Rev. Hatchett like message.
