Personal Narrative: The Story Of An Attorney

After checking every photo taken during the investigation, the Deputy District Attorney, Michelle Trego asked the detectives to interview the witnesses again. “We want to make certain she pays for this crime,” Michelle said riding up in the elevator with Detective Wallace.

First I just want to point out the obvious and say that you have an enormous heart. It must be so hard for you meeting these inmates and seeing their potential and most times seeing them revert to their old ways. I think that has to be the most painful part of it all. I know your supervisor once told you “our mission can’t be affected by individual successes or failures.”- Alice Layton. Which is what kept you going. It’s true, but it doesn’t take the sad disappointing feelings away. It’s amazing what you do, but it’s also very hard emotionally. For that I salute you. I love how invested you truly are. That fact that they feel comfortable enough to speak to you about the crimes they have committed is insane. That just goes to show how committed you are to helping them better themselves. In addition to

“I want to live.” She said. She lifted her feet off the small coffee table and set them gently on the floor as she continued to look through me, too interested on the inner workings of her own mind.

I could not believe what I had just said, I said it so hastily that I thought no one had heard me, but the judge clearly heard me say “The defense moves to indict Isabella Moores of first degree murder.” Everybody in the courtroom was speechless, “This so called witness was planning to murder her mother since she ran away from home, all because her mother was constantly abusing her and I have evidence to prove it!”

By this document I, DANIELLE M. MOORE, of 13317 Wyngate Point, San Diego, California 92130, intend to create an advance health care directive under California Probate Code Section 4600 and following. This advance directive shall not be affected by my subsequent incapacity. All references herein to “my agent” refer to the agent acting at the pertinent time.

You may consider contacting the law firm they are representing or the state bar association to determine whether the attorney is in right standing. Furthermore, conduct a search to determine the attorney's trial experience. The customer and/or peer reviews should provide you with useful information (both positive and/or negative feedback) to make an informed decision.

There I was on the block next to the High Bar. It was about 5:00 at night when my coach told me to do a Kip. As I got up on the bar my nose filled with the smell of chalk. I started to swing, and as I came out of my half turn I looked good. Everything seemed fine but as I came to the part of the Kip where I have to pull my legs up to the bar, I slammed my shins into the bar. My momentum was stopped and I dropped on to the mat, missing the Kip. I felt like I had let down my coach and I had let down myself too. That day I experienced failure. That failure made me want my Kip even more so I worked harder and had support from my teammates.

and Vontrell Williams always made it their business to get me back on my feet. The trainers would change my bandages daily, and I was sidelined. The following Spring 2014 I hoped to get healthy enough to get invited to camp because I never been. My goal was to always step on the field. Everything that I was going through was going to be worth it if I just got one second on the field. Summer 2014 I worked 40 hours a week, participated in all team activities and workouts, while taking two classes. I worked so hard to make camp and was told that I was going. The very first day of camp when everyone was getting ready, I found out that I would no longer be going. I was told if someone got hurt, I would be the first to replace him. Another terrible

I interviewed a woman that works with my mother and have known for several years now. She had been summoned and questioned by attorneys six times. She was only selected three of the six times to serve on the jury. Her first thought was “oh crap.” Although it may not be seen as a very nice response, but it is a very natural human response and she is not the only one who has reacted in that way. She was very nervous receiving the summons; it was something new and practically unknown to her. Some of the questions she was asked were if she owns a gun, if she has a gun in the house, about her education, and mostly just general questions. There is one question that stood out from the others though. Once when being asked by an attorney, she

Sometime in October, I asked you for help, to please find out about this particular attorney disciplinary record, this was with respect to my son's accident. You expressed that you were going to inquire, look into more about the attorney in question once you return to work on Tuesday from your Columbus holiday. I was looking forward for your info. to explore into the possibilities of attaining and secure a good attorney to represent my son in the event of filing a law suit against the person who hit my son on his bike. But to my bad luck, lo and behold, Gina NEVER followed suit on her promise.

I have worked for The Advocate, a Baton Rouge award winning newspaper, for more than 23 years. When I first hired on in May of 1992, it was only to be a temporary job until I finished college. Before computers and electronic layout programs simplified this process with the click of a button, people had to cut out and paste the stories, pictures, and advertisements that appeared in the daily newspaper. This was my job: I was a Compositor. I worked evenings so this allowed me the availability to go to school during the day. I have always been a hard worker and taken pride in whatever assignment I was given. This character trait was recognized by others and I was quickly promoted to other jobs. As the computer age and world wide web came to life,

I don’t know what’s coming down with Aunt Anna, but before we come to see you Thursday, I think you need to know a few things. PLEASE, you cannot let her know I’ve told you anything. She is very much afraid I’m taking over her life. Well, I thought that part of being her Power of Attorney was to take care of her. I don’t know where any of this is coming from so we have to be very careful. She and mother would argue and not speak to each other for years, I can’t have that happen. I think some of these crazy thoughts are coming from a retired friend from Piedmont, but not sure.

For the past two summers I had the pleasure of working with an amazing judge. Working with her was the best opportunity that I ever had. The judge’s accomplishments and how she has far she has come in her career especially being a minority, inspired me to believe that I can do anything I set my mind to and nothing can stop me. During my internship period I had the chance to study numerous court cases, file documents and more. Being the fact that I want to pursue a career as a lawyer, my experience at the Criminal Justice Center expanded my knowledge in my career choice and what I was getting myself into. It is one thing to know what you want to be when you grow up but being able to get a firsthand experience was truly memorable and inspirational.

When I was sworn in as a licensed attorney in 2000 with the State of Maryland, I had no clue what I would do next or where I would work. I had been sending my resume to various law firms for employment. However, I was unsuccessful in my pursuit to find a position as an Associate Attorney with any law firm. For the 100 resumes I sent out to various law firms, I was contacted only by ten law firms for an interview.

Thankfully, I do not foresee any changing in my employers’ operations. Every employer wants you to you believe that the company/agency is a “family,” but this one truly is. We honestly care about each other and help maintain our own “self-care.” Working at a Domestic Violence Shelter (that includes Sexual Assault services) can be difficult; we need our own time to recoup. From our Executive Director to Client Advocates, every person is aligned with the “Big 5 Personality Factors.” Granted, low neuroticism—not high. My leaders possess: Technical, Human, and Conceptual skills—regardless of their management assigned position. Even as Client Advocates we are encouraged to become proficient in all aspects of the agency, only being barred from financial/funding
