Some of the people on this board won't like this post.

I know a guy....who was busted for Robbery and drugs. He was in his early twenties....and did 5 yrs in jail. He Got out...and did it again. Next time he did another 5 yrs in jail. After the second jail sentence...he re-thought his life. He decided that crime wasn't for him. He found his spiritual path....and went to college. Got his BA degree....and then went on to law school by attending night school. He then passed the Bar....then clerked for a judge...then worked for a non-profit,...then went into private practice.....This guy is LAWYER!...and a convicted Felon.


Pat...

1- You didn't Rob a Bank
2- You didn't commit a violent Crime
3- You didn't commiit a Crime of Moral Turpitude

We all have done things that we have to live with. Some have gotten caught...others, seeminly got away with it.

All you can do is Try....then you can honestly say...."i tried."

Remember...if you have the drive to make it....you can make it in "just about" any field...not just as an insurance adjuster.

Again....Some of the people on this board won't like this post.

Tony, anyone can become who they wish to become. I am surprised that a convicted felon was able to get his license after passing the bar. Funny world we live in.

Tom, how could you leave an opening like that. So many jokes pop into my mind. Lawyers  felons passing the bar HMMM.

What's the difference between a good lawyer and a great lawyer?

A good lawyer knows the law. A great lawyer knows the judge.

Not only good in Mississippi, but all over the U.S.

A lawyer's dog, running around town unleashed, heads for a butcher shop and steals a roast. The butcher goes to the lawyer's office and asks, "if a dog running unleashed steals a piece of meat from my store, do I have a right to demand payment for the meat from the dog's owner?" The lawyer answers, "Absolutely."

"Then you owe me $8.50. Your dog was loose and stole a roast from me today."

The lawyer, without a word, writes the butcher a check for $8.50. The butcher, having a feeling of satisfaction, leaves.

Three days later, the butcher finds a bill from the lawyer: $100 due for a consultation.

I've been a several boards over the years, none have folks like you that have given me so much encouragement. You guys have motivated me to get the license which I'll do soon. I did pay the attorney and the expunction is underway. For now I'm continuing in my current job with intentions of taking the class (in Texas) and getting the license real soon. I want to make sure the expunction is done before I submit the app for the license. That's the easiest way to go otherwise I'll have to explain and provide all the information about the conviction.

Thanks again for all the support and encouragement and may the LORD richly bless you and keep you.

Whatever you do, don't tell anyone on this board that you are a Texas Adjuster. 

(I think they are jealous)
