Just remembering this exists. When work gets busy, I tend to disappear from social media. My clients come first 🤷🏻‍♀️ which is extremely unlikely to change any time soon. Also, the world’s still on fire and work reminds me of that enough, some days. It’s easier to check out for a while after I’m done.

I had an amazing outcome in court today. The judge gave my client no active time on a charge with guidelines of 1y6m to 3y8m. This client is in recovery from SUD and has been doing amazingly, clean for the longest period of their life. And I’m so happy them will be able to keep building a life.

1/2: So Saturday is the No Kings protest. Once again, if things go badly, I will be doing sliding scale and (where possible) free representation for anyone who runs into trouble. Please remember holding your phone up to your face to unlock it is legal (so turn off FaceID if you bring it).

This is hanging behind the judge in General District Court today. I find this utterly terrifying. How is this acceptable?

Really not appreciating the part where ICE keeps showing up to the courthouse where I handle appointed cases. There was a protest about it today, but I'm not sure what that achieves. Most of the jails are actively cooperating with the round up of innocent (unless proven guilty) people to "deport".

Thanks @arthfach.com Our number is 804-292-0550. Please take it with you if you are protesting in the Richmond area. Hopefully it’s completely unneeded, but just in case I will do my best to be available today. If you get our voicemail, please leave a message, I will be checking them.

Jessica Greenberg @greenberglawva.com · 14/06/2025
A brief reminders for those protesting today: set your phone for a lock code only if you bring it with you, and take my office number if you’re in the Richmond vicinity. I will handle protester cases for free where possible, at a discounted rate if not.

Ok, this is not ok. My entire generation’s phobias of these things not being safe to drive behind have now been vindicated. And also… how is it possible that we transport things in such a badly designed manner when the logging industry is massive and makes a fortune destroying the planet?!

Since this is in the news again, why you shouldn’t talk to cops: Talk to them 3 times, first time “I stopped at the store and picked up cupcakes”, 2nd you say cakes, 3rd you say dessert. Now you keep “changing your story” and that can be used against you. That you told the truth is no protection.

Lately, it seems like when I get a response to a motion from the prosecutor's office, it feels like they really just did not read what I submitted. Which was short, to the point, and straightforward. And instead I get something where I have to go reread what I filed, because I feel crazy. #lawsky

I really wish Google would stop telling people how legal cases "usually go". Every single state is different, and federal is its own thing. I can't change venue in a criminal case absent 1) proof that the crime actually happened somewhere else or 2) proof a fair jury is impossible in the district.

Dr. Oz, in his committee hearing to head Medicare and Medicaid, called maintaining good health a “patriotic duty”. This is the kind of language used to justify doing terrible things to disabled people, and deserves some scrutiny. This from the man who would control disabled people’s access to care.

Every time a client thinks their disabled, mentally ill or sick loved one is the only one the jail is neglecting, or that the prosecutor is treating their case uniquely by seeming to think their loved one's freedom and well-being doesn't matter just highlights for me how much we've all been lied to.

This honestly is good advice for attorneys right now too. Remember to take care of yourselves. We are all feeling overwhelmed watching anxioulsy to see if the legal system is going to survive this. But you can't watch it every second, you go mad at the best of times. These are not those times.

I can't attend, I will be representing a young person at risk from these policies in court. But if you are going, we will be repping as many as we can for free or on a sliding scale. Our office number is 804-292-0550. I suggest writing it on your arm. #lawsky rvamag.com/community/ri...

I swear, one more person tells me I am paranoid, overreacting, or under educated when I say that we are all in really big trouble and I may just go fully mad. I wasn’t paranoid or overreacting in 2016. It wasn’t catastrophizing about abortion, rights, or about the education system, and it isn’t now.

Came down with COVID-19 for the first time on January 20, testing positive January 21. This seems oddly appropriate. It does mean I have missed some of the house on fire problem, but I don’t actually think I’m missing anything as it can more or less be summed up as everything is on fire.

I wonder if anyone has calculated how much we are paying the loan servicing companies to tell us that they have no idea what is going on with student loans, not to process anything, or even provide information, for the better part of a year now. Bet we could pay the loans off with that money.

Conversation today with my cat: Ok, it's time for you to take over now. Cats need to more openly rule the world. Plainly, using humans to do it is going badly and it's time for you to admit your in control. (Cat looks me right in the eyes and purrs, I'm taking this as 'I'll think about it'.)

I really just want a trial where I lose because the police and the prosecutors did a very good job, and just got it right. But even most of the pleas are because it is a guaranteed outcome, and not necessarily because the state can prove their case. It's exhausting.

I pay a fortune for the best possible health plan BCBS offers to small businesses. Since Oct, they have decided I didn't need PT for my spine surgery. I've been trying to find out why. So today I spent an hour and a half of time on the phone with them and was promised a return call with info/update.

I want to be surprised by this. But instead, I am just exhausted. The more any of us try to do our jobs, the more the majority of the judges, clerks and CAs offices punish us for so much as attempting to represent our clients as if their lives matter. Or as if ours do. www.msn.com/en-us/news/c...

Not yet gone - will come back with legal and court related stuff soon. In the mean time, I can't decide whether to be pleased or terrified that this is a real thing (I snipped it off of Chewy's website if you'd like to get one). The world is a pretty bizarre place, huh @arthfach.bsky.social?

Playing catch up with work is definitely never ending. I had a jury trial set for a little over a month after my surgery. When I came back to work and got a sense of how slow my recovery would be, I got the prosecutor to agree to continue and was waiting on a date. Toay, they filed an objection...

So let’s be honest, law is a giant, high stakes games. We even have uniforms and rules. Lately, it seems like the rule book is being written by someone who thought Calvinball made sense. You know, whenever you start to lose, change the rules so you aren’t any more.

What is Biden thinking by going back on saying he'd stop arms shipments if Israel invaded Rafah and sending them BILLIONS more in weapons when that money has to come from the same budget as social programs or government employee salaries or literally anything else. Real question, what is the gain?
