Law Dinner Last Night

I went to a law dinner last night sponsored by my school. It was pricey but worth it. I didn't see that many people that I know, but I did see a few that were helpful. First, an old friend from the past, a lawyer for a long time, who I can contact if I need help. Very good. The woman sitting next to me graduated a year before I did, but has been in solo practice for the whole time. She told me I could call her any time. Very, very good. She also gave me a few pointers about the bankruptcy case that may be coming my way. One of her pointers was: Don't take the case. She said it really wasn't enough money to go bankrupt over, and that the client could do slow pay instead if he is truly sued. I knew this, but it was good to get reinforcement from her. She also gave me some other tips, such as be careful if you are going into some kind of "sharing" arrangment with another lawyer. Basically, she meant, don't get taken, paying half of the other person's rent, if you are not going to get something out of it. She speaks from experience.
