End of the Week Wrap-up

This week has been a very exciting week. First, my twitter account just eclipsed 100 followers. Hopefully some of you who have found this blog are reading it after hearing about it on twitter. I also received my first comment on the blog. Please, keep them coming; I enjoy reading what people have to say about my experience and I hope that someone out there will read this blog someday and avoid some of the mistakes that I am sure I will make along the way.

The real big development this week was that I managed to make my first fee as an attorney. True, it was for a homestead for a family member so I did not make that much money but it felt nice to get paid for something that was the product of 7 years of school.

I’ve also been in contact with Attorney Stephen A. Rosenbaum, an attorney in Newburyport that I interned for while in Law School and he had a few cases to refer to me. The cases run the gamut from collections, to family law, to social security disability. I am grateful for the assistance and having people who are there to support you is very important. If you are interested in checking out his firm go to http://www.srosenbaumlaw.com. He has been a great help to me over the past 3 years and he gave me my first legal job. I am really looking forward to a continuing working relationship with Attorney Rosenbaum.

I am also sending in an application to work as an Essex County Bar Advocate. Currently the program is closed but they are accepting applications. I am not holding my breath but maybe I can get into the program in the relatively near future.

I also have managed to get some work on my own, without the referral of an attorney. I currently have 3 will signings coming up. I hope to complete a few of these in the next week or so but likely one or two of them will be postponed until the new year.

In non legal news, an attorney friend and I are launching a blog on everything but legal and political topics. When that blog is launched I will make a note of it both here and on twitter so that you can check it out.

Thanks again to everyone who has taken the time to read the blog and I would really like to thank everyone who has given me feedback and comments on the blog.

Until next time,

Kenneth C. Allison, Esq.
