League City seems to be getting in the news. A man was arrested for theft when he offered to represent clients with legal help.

Court records state that a League City man paid Estrada about $15,000 in December to provide legal help with immigration issues. The man’s sister paid him another $5,000 in January but neither received any work from Estrada, records state.

Two other people said they paid Estrada a total of $2,250 in cash last year for help with immigration paper work but received no services from him, records state.

Probably can, but I'll bet he overstates his billable hours.

But it doesn't matter because he has no intention of paying the bill anyway.
Which, of course, means he can then sue himself for payment.

Roger that!

Speaking of which, whatever became of the POTUS and FLOTUS's Illinois law licenses?

Unverified, but I heard that they surrendered them rather than being disbarred.

Through their website the Illinois State Bar Association won't even tell you if a lawyer has been disciplined. Apparently if you are not a member of the Illinois Bar you aren't allowed to know. How underhanded & deceitful is that?
