Ask Howard Treesong About Law or Lawyering

[iron81]

What would you advise this guy to do? He ignored a jury summons and now has his own court date on misdemeanor charges.

Interesting, I studied engineering before becoming a lawyer, worked in BigLaw and am now basically in-house (no timesheets!). Incidentally, I’m chickening out of the Joe Horn conviction prop bet. After a second reading of the statutes I think he will almost certainly get off.

I'd advise him to retain counsel and stop ignoring jury summonses in the future. I'd also tell him to be sure and pay his taxes on time.
