Kim, it's so good to hear from you! I really wanted to call you for this 3-week trial I had in December. Yes, December! All the way up to the 21st. That's a first. It's a case with Americanized Iranians, with one attorney having an accent, lots of family paraded into court, and lots of Iranian terms. They wanted roughs within a couple hours of leaving each day. I ended up reporting most of it myself and called on the reporters who had reported months of depos, since they were already familiar with the terms. But I always think of you and how you like trials and hearings. Most of the hearings I've had only go a couple hours or they're too far south for you. I will definitely give you a call when I have something worthwhile. I love seeing your pictures! Happy New Year!

Hey Suzanne!! Well, that is just plain mean to dangle a fabulous-sounding trial like that! I have done a looong drawn-out Iranian family trial before. Very interesting dynamics that go on. I understand well the pain you went through w/ the names/accents. Sorry to hear that, especially during a hectic time of year. However, I hope you were able to have a nice holiday! Definitely give me a call though. My daughter will be getting her license in March (I hope), so I will be able to travel a little futher into the South Bay now. Plus, I NEED my family law fix! It is great to hear from you too, and Happy New Year!! Will you be going to the DRA convention?

Kim, I just sent you a friend request.  I'd like to privately "talk" to you about your conference room situation.
