“We SMASH.. the tacos” 😂
This was a very interesting video. We live very different lives so love seeing the word through your lens!

[devinbartley]

This is some pretty big law, but have you heard of the New Mexico Law Giant?

So funny, I actually used to walk that same alley and commute down to the loop everyday but live in TX now too (Dallas) haha. Go Edgewater though! I miss the beach!

[michaeljohn]

What’s your practice area? It seems like your work life balance doesn’t suck!

[luispaz]

You will be blown away when you try real "Tacos" In Houston my man.... 🤣 Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[snowf]

ok who is the lawyer that is drinking Nesquik lmao

[massafelipe]

TIK, I see a man of class there. If thats a correct phrase. Probably a lawyer who wanted to be a historian, just like me.

Let's pump that like count even higher than the total number of CTA train cars currently engulfed in smoke ⬆

Man, I would make a video like this, but it would be so boring!! Great video! Hope the move to Houston is/was good.

Hey, I'm not sure if you continue to read your comments, but SUPER tldr of me: I graduated from UIC Law back in 2020, had to move back home to help take care of my parent. During that time, I kind of got lost a bit and ended up doing trying to get into a PhD program. I'm currently a 3rd year in a PhD program and am now realizing I made a mistake and I want to practice law. I have always wanted to go into Big Law. Do you have any recommendations? An opinion on whether I should leave the PhD and try to get a job? Whether it's too late for me? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Jack Mother Father God r here in person 😊

[leonhardmay]

Oh Lord those offices are terrible
I'd fall into depression within 10 days sitting among those plain walls
they could have added at least a painting or something :S

[brianlongino]

Would you recommend getting a real estate license for real estate big law? I’m applying to law schools this fall and am considering pursuing this once I get my acceptances. Thanks for all the info you provide on this channel!

its Lawyers in China and the United States are similar in daily life. I wonder if you usually go to other cities on business? Can an Illinois lawyer's license appear in a California court?
