I try to be helpful here. I really do. I know I probably fail. It’s not for lack of trying, though. A while back I wrote these riveting tips on what to do once you’ve been arrested. It was ground breaking stuff. Earth shattering, even. I thought lives would be saved. It felt good to …
I might be here. I might be there. I might be hiding. You never know.
Greetings, I know you’ve been wondering why I haven’t been posting much. I’m sure it’s been keeping you up at night. I’ll bet that some of you have been so worried that the stress is making it hard for you to function. It’s horrible, I know. To you, I offer my sincerest apologies. It’s not …
It’s so sad.
The subject of one of the most popular posts on here is in the news again. Back in April you may recall that the McHenry City Police Department had an officer get charged with misconduct stemming from that officer’s purported theft from the department evidence lockup. I was a bit cranky about the press release …
Kane County Prosecutor’s DUI Checkpoints…
Man, I think the police are catching on. Looks like the Kane County Sheriff was doing the DUI/Roadblock thing the night before Thanksgiving. Who would have thought? According to the Kane County Chronicle, the State’s Attorney’s office was also doing their “no refusal” thing. That means that if you refuse the breath or blood test, they’re …
Making it worse.
About that car crash in Campton Hills this weekend… A Kane County Sheriff’s deputy reportedly saw Liston’s car traveling on Route 38 at Bricher Road. The deputy tried to stop her but ended the pursuit because she was driving too recklessly, Hoffman said. The Kane County Chronicle reported on a pretty horrific accident. In case you …
The Juice
How do you start a letter to O.J. Simpson? I wasn’t sure either. So, I opened with “Mr. Simpson,” and went on to apologize that we’d never met and I was sending him seemingly random mail. Hopefully, he’ll get back to me. There’s a new project in the works that will be “out there” soon. …
“Most of my heroes don’t appear on no stamps.”
If life were Star Wars, Hofmann would be Han Solo Every once in a while things keep popping up in my life. I don’t know if it’s for a reason, or not. All I know is that I don’t like things I can’t get away from. Over the weekend I decided to hop into the …
Ah, the joys of becoming a lawyer.
If you spend your days trying to convince a prosecutor that not every charge of battery is a “big deal” you better not be a hypocrite if it happens to you. That post last week forced me to think about some things. Not very important things, though. I thought about the pending Mayan Zombie apocalypse. I …
This is your warning
Anybody who knows anything about going to court for people with DUIs know’s it’s about to get busy. From, say, the day before Thanksgiving until shortly after the new-year, it’s prime “DUI season.” We know this. So do the police. Did I hear somebody say “road block”? Of course I did. You should have expected …
Tips for the new lawyers: Law school was a waste of your time.
Once we told the entire story, guess what happened? NG. Not Guilty. Give us back our bond money, because we’re going home and not coming back… except for an expungement. I love this time of year. Early November is “new lawyer” time. The kids that graduated in the spring and took the bar over the summer …
