I found my dream job! Okay, so it's not dream-like compensation, but it is exactly the type of work I wanted to do for exactly the clientele.
I am currently an contract attorney for Access Justice, a full-service, reduced-fee legal services non-profit. Our goal is to serve people in what I have termed the "not poor enough" gap. These are folks who have "too much" money and/or assets for free legal services through legal aid or the public defender's office, but can't afford to retain a lawyer. We accept cases ranging from family law to criminal law to disability claims. We even help with small business issues.
The offices are very busy! We just moved downtown to the Flour Exchange building at 310 4th Street South. I am very excited for this opportunity, and to be getting in at the ground floor here.
I hope to post again soon. Another project on my docket is to build up some stock and open an Etsy Shop!
