Law Firm Reputation Management Agency India: Why You Need It

[ao3cassandraic]

It looks like Gaiman's reputation-laundering firm (Edendale, which has worked with several other high-profile people credibly accused of appalling acts) is telling him to run a keep-silent play. Or there's legal argy-bargy over his TV series leading to the same silence. Either is plausible, or it could be both. Other authors who have survived allegations via silence and made real (if muted) comebacks include Junot Diaz and China Mieville.

So, fandom, what's our response?

The goal here is preventing more women from becoming his victims. There's some of that we have no avenue to influence -- he got access to and power over Caroline Wallner by employing her, and we can't realistically affect whom he employs.

But we do have influence over his public profile and over how we speak of him to others. We can use that. I would argue that to some extent it is our duty to.

Warning female fans (all ages; again, Wallner shows he does not limit himself to young women) by pointing them to the extant evidence is something we can do. It doesn't even have to be whisper-network any more, I don't think. Though I also don't recommend shouting it from rooftops, as cornered predators can get remarkably litigious even when they have no case -- and defending anything in court is an expensive ordeal.

(British libel law is also a horror, tilted hugely in favor of such as Gaiman. Don't fall afoul of it.)

Protesting venues that allow or invite him to appear is another thing we can do, given his behavior toward fans. I don't mean picket lines or chanting. I mean keeping an eye out for cons or bookstores or the like who put him on their schedules so that we can let them know what he's done. To start, keep it calm, keep it simple, keep it verifiable. "Multiple women have publicly accused Neil Gaiman of sexual coercion and sexual assault. I believe it is neither safe nor wise to bring him here. Please cancel his appearance."

If the venue does not respond appropriately, then we can step it up to boycotts and name-and-shame. But I don't think we need to start there. Given the dearth of media coverage so far, it's quite possible someone wouldn't know. We're Extremely Online; not everyone is.

So yeah. That, I think, is how we start to counter Edendale. More thoughts?

inside the mind with peter parker!!!! also, congrats bestie!!!!

Thanks bestie! I hope this helps cheer you up:

After the events of NWH, Peter tries several jobs that one can get with only a high school education - waiter and/or barista at various fast food or local cafes, cleaning services for hotels or office buildings. Name a low-level service industry job, he’s probably tried it. Along with day labor with construction projects.

Each job ends up running into one little problem: Spider-Man. Saving people sometimes makes him late for work. Sometimes hours late. Or he runs off in the middle of shift to save someone he notices in trouble. Needless to say, his bosses don’t like this. And often fire him.

He has better luck when he starts doing freelance work or online work where it doesn’t really matter when or where he gets the work done as long as he meets the deadline.

Some of this freelance work is vigilante photography. He develops a reputation for getting the best shots of New York’s vigilantes and their battles. Mostly Spider-Man (for obvious reasons) but he has gotten some very good shots of Daredevil.

Peter is torn on those Tumblr posts comparing his ass to those other heroes in the city. The jokes can be funny. But some of the NSFW comments have left him rather red-faced and at times uncomfortable.

He does find it absolutely hilarious that Daredevil won that Hottest Vigilante Ass thing. Easily the funniest part was the look on the man in question’s face when he was informed about this . . . honor.

One of the freelance jobs he picks up is doing electronics repairs. One day, he ends up in the office of Nelson, Murdock, & Page trying to convince their braille printer not to die. He managed it but also captured the interest of the lawyers. Who insisted he take a bonus payment in the form of food.

Peter thought about arguing but his metabolism is very high and his budget low. No sense in turning down (more or less) free food.

The law firm starts regularly calling him with offers of various temp work. He has gone to the office often enough that he has met Mr. Nelson’s mom. Who thinks he’s far too skinny.

Somehow it was after this meeting that Peter gained the attention of Daredevil. Which was . . . cool. Even if the way Peter threw punches made the man grimace and tell him to come to some rundown gym to learn how to do it properly - “you’re gonna break all your fingers doing that way, kid.”

Peter’s protest that (a) he will be healed by morning and (b) that he wasn’t a kid held no water. But Daredevil had a point that breaking the bones in his hands hurt and hampered his ability to fight or flee until those broken bones healed.

He calls the other vigilante Mr. Devil, despite repeated attempts to get him to just call him Devil or Daredevil. Fair is fair. Daredevil kept calling him a kid despite being told repeatedly that Peter was ‘not a kid.’

Social media influencer Andrew Tate will be extradited to the UK after a British police force secured a European arrest warrant for allegations of rape and human trafficking.

Bedfordshire Police said they are working with authorities in Romania as part of an investigation into the 37-year-old and his 35-year-old brother Tristan.

The pair were detained on Tuesday and appeared at the court of appeal in Bucharest where it was ruled they would be extradited following the conclusion of legal proceedings in Romania.

The allegations, which the two brothers “unequivocally deny”, date back to 2012-2015.

Speaking to reporters outside court following the ruling, Andrew Tate told reporters he and his brother are “very innocent men”.

He said: “I want to give absolute credit to Romanian justice for making the correct decision today.

“Unfortunately I don’t think many people in Romania understand, but in the West, in the countries that are owned by the satanists, when you get to a certain level of fame you either put on a dress or you go to jail and I’m happy to make my choice which is jail every single time, my soul is not for sale neither are my principles.

“We’re very innocent men and in time everybody’s going to see that.

“We are excited to finish this judicial process and clear our names.”

The pair were released from police custody following the hearing, their representative said.

Lawyers representing four women who accuse Tate of rape and sexual assault said they wrote to UK police to request his detention over fears he would flee Romania.

In response to the claims made by law firm McCue Jury & Partners, Tate’s spokeswoman said: “We unequivocally deny any accusations that Andrew or Tristan Tate intends to abscond from Romania to evade the judicial proceedings.

“Our clients are fully committed to actively participating in the legal process and defending their reputation.

“We believe this rumour has originated from a popular online influencer who misconstrued a text message from our clients while streaming live. There is simply no truth to it.”

The law firm said the four British accusers were the subject of an investigation by Hertfordshire Constabulary.

The Hertfordshire investigation was closed in 2019.

In response to the court of appeal’s ruling on Tuesday, the Tate brothers’ lawyer Eugen Vidineac said: “We appreciate the Bucharest Court of Appeal’s decision to postpone the extradition of Andrew and Tristan Tate.

“This ruling provides an opportunity for the brothers to participate fully in their defence and for the legal process to proceed in a transparent manner.”

Commenting on the Tate brothers being detained, Matthew Jury, managing partner at McCue Jury & Partners, said: “Today’s news is very welcome as it has been a significant concern to many that Tate would seek to avoid justice in Romania and abroad.

“We are grateful to the British authorities for taking our concerns seriously and issuing an arrest warrant.”

Mr Jury said Andrew Tate had “spread a vast amount of disinformation about the criminal allegations he faces in the UK” since his first arrest in Romania.

The law firm said it welcomed the court of appeal’s decision on Tuesday.

In a separate case, the Tate brothers are charged with rape, human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women in Romania after being arrested in the country’s capital in December 2022 alongside two Romanian women.

All four deny the allegations.

While traditional methods like referrals still matter, digital marketing and effective law firm marketing programs are increasingly important. Balancing both strategies can enhance success.

This article explores effective strategies lawyers use to attract new clients. Understanding the importance of both client retention and acquisition is essential for any legal practice.

Traditional Methods for Client Acquisition

Traditional methods are still vital for lawyers looking to attract new clients. These approaches focus on personal connections and community engagement, helping to build a strong reputation and reliable client base. Here are some key strategies to consider:

Referrals and Reviews

Referrals are a key driver for acquiring new clients. Research indicates that up to 60% of individuals seek personal recommendations when hiring a lawyer. This statistic highlights the trust people place in the opinions of others.

Building a strong referral network hinges on excellent service. Lawyers should prioritize client engagement at every stage. By delivering quality outcomes and maintaining communication, attorneys can motivate satisfied clients to refer others.

A positive experience fosters loyalty and drives valuable word-of-mouth marketing.

Public Appearances

Public appearances enhance a lawyer's reputation by providing opportunities to connect with the community. Speaking engagements allow you to showcase your expertise, build trust, and establish authority in your field.

These events also expand your network, facilitating connections with professionals and potential clients. Increased visibility can lead to more referrals, ultimately boosting your credibility in the legal field.

Networking

Networking goes beyond attending typical events. Building genuine connections requires effort and authenticity.

Engaging with others on a personal level fosters trust and strengthens relationships. These meaningful interactions can lead to valuable referrals and lasting partnerships in your legal practice.

Ignoring Online Presence: A lack of online visibility can hinder client acquisition. Invest time in building an effective website and engaging on social media.

Overlooking SEO: Neglecting Search Engine Optimization limits your reach. Focus on local SEO techniques to attract nearby clients.

Inconsistent Content Creation: Publishing content sporadically can disengage your audience. Establish a regular schedule for blog posts and updates to maintain interest.

Not Tracking Results: Failing to analyze marketing efforts can lead to wasted resources. Use analytics tools to measure success and adjust strategies accordingly.

Expert Advice For Purchasing Magic Mushroom And Psilocybin Spores

Purchase of mushroom spores online can be challenging and time consuming, and can put you in jeopardy of legal trouble according to the Drug Enforcement Agency’s (DEA). Although magic mushroom spores do not contain psilocybin or psilocin, their transformation into mushrooms becomes illegal under federal law.

There are thankfully several reliable mushroom spore sellers who adhere to honest business practices, offering genuine mushroom spores at reasonable prices. Below are some tips to help avoid being scammed or taken advantage of by dishonest vendors:

1. Look for a Reputable Vendor As with any purchase, buyers should conduct extensive research to identify a dependable vendor. When researching vendors it’s essential to check their return policy, shipping methods and customer support options as well as reading customer testimonials and reviews from past purchasers who share their experience of how well the mushroom spores worked and were shipped.

Spores are tiny seeds that produce mushrooms. As these spores do not contain psychedelic chemicals such as psilocybin, sale and possession are legal in most states; once mushrooms grow from these spores they contain psilocybin which falls under federal law’s paraphernalia statute.

That’s why it’s essential to ensure the spore vendor you select is operating legally, according to Rush. He suggests checking the state where a seller operates as this could raise red flags; also consider whether they provide mushroom growing supplies and/or cultivation tips on their website, since such activities could potentially violate state laws such as Idaho where growing mushrooms is against the law.

Buyers should avoid websites offering free spores as part of promotional giveaways, as freebies may come from businesses trying to establish themselves, who may not adhere to cultivation and safety regulations. Therefore, it’s essential that buyers select only reliable spore vendors who have been in operation for at least several years.

2. Read Product Descriptions Though it might be tempting to choose a company offering the lowest prices, make sure that their reputation comes first. A reliable firm should provide clear descriptions of its products as well as adhering to good manufacturing practices that ensure product quality, plus be able to answer any inquiries you have. Conversely, scammy firms will leave behind angry users expressing displeasure with them via social media posts and forums.

Legality of Psilocybin Mushroom Spores Varies by State The legality of Psilocybin mushroom spores depends heavily on your location and intent when purchasing. Some states, like Idaho and California, prohibit buying any mushroom spores that contain any psilocybin; while in Oregon spores fall under the same classification as mushrooms thus not subject to laws pertaining to them.

Cultivating spores can be challenging, so finding an experienced seller to guide you through the process is essential. A good seller will have an established presence within the mushroom community and offer high-quality viable spores; reviews and testimonials provide additional insight into a seller’s quality spores as do forums such as Shroomery or subreddits.

Psilocybin, commonly referred to as magic mushrooms, is an hallucinogenic fungus that produces mind-altering effects when consumed. One of the oldest drugs ever recorded, it remains popular as recreational drug usage across many cultures around the globe. If you or anyone close to you has consumed poisonous mushrooms and is experiencing any of its side effects, please call 13 11 26 immediately for medical assistance.

3. Check the Reputation of the Vendor If you are purchasing mushroom spores online to grow them yourself, always investigate the company first. A legitimate seller will have an outstanding track record and will share their growing process with customers; additionally they may host forums where customers can ask questions and share experiences related to this seller. In addition, an established seller should offer multiple payment methods – including both credit/debit cards as well as cryptocurrency payment such as Bitcoin for secure and discreet transactions.

When purchasing spores, pay special attention to packaging and shipping methods. Spores are typically shipped in sterile syringes or swabs sealed inside an unobtrusive box; sometimes vendors even conceal them within books or toys to enhance discrete shipping methods. Some reputable vendors even allow customers to select their preferred shipping method to ensure safe arrival of the spores.

Although some psychedelic mushroom spores may be legally purchased in most states, as soon as they develop into actual magic mushrooms they become illegal and should therefore be strictly adhered to under your local laws. It’s therefore imperative to become informed prior to making any purchases in your state.

Some cities, including Denver, have decriminalized magic mushrooms and make arresting those possessing them for personal use a lower priority. That doesn’t mean it is safest to purchase them online without being wary; always err on the side of caution when dealing with psychoactive drugs such as magic mushrooms.

Rooftop Dining

by Shiori_Makiba

You decided to make an appointment with Nelson & Murdock the next day. First because you had no idea when the detectives would want to question you again and therefore wanted to get your lawyer lined up as soon as possible. Second because you weren't going to present this firm as a viable alternative to the pro bono clients of Lee, Everett, & Kirby without actually meeting them.

It wasn't because you didn't trust Daredevil's recommendation. You did. But those clients were often quite desperate and you felt you owed them the due diligence of verifying the information.

So far it was looking promising. Their website didn't give specific payment information, only stated that retainer fee or contingency percentage was determined on a case-by-case basis. However many the reviews you found by previous clients mentioned how reasonable retainer or contingency fees were, found the firm upfront about they are charging and why. Assuming they were charged at all. There were many pro bono clients in both criminal and civil cases.

If these reviews were accurate, Nelson and Murdock weren't in this for the money.

And they easily could have been, if they wanted to. People who graduated at the top of their classes at Columbia Law School would have no shortage of offers from big law firms. Well, Nelson would have no shortage of offers. You knew big law well enough to know that several firms wouldn't have extended to an offer to Murdock because they would have considered making accommodations for his disability too much of a hassle. They would have pretended otherwise if asked but that would be the reason.

But not all of them. Murdock still would have plenty of offers to choose from. The point was that if they had wanted to, they could easily have gotten jobs at a big law firm with a good salary and started working their way up to partner and the big money. Evidently neither of them wanted that since they opened their own firm very shortly after law school. There had apparently been some hiccups in the first few years with the firm even closing briefly.

You weren't too surprised by this. Law school doesn't actually teach you how to be a trial attorney and with no more experienced mentor, they would have been learning those skills via trial and error. Mostly error if your experience with baby attorneys was any indication. That they tried tackling cases as large as the Castle trial . . . and rumor painted Castle as a rather unruly client . . . rumors further speculated that Murdock had something personal distracting him . . . it would be more surprising if they hadn't experienced some kind of serious strain.

Whatever issues had plagued them in their early years, they seemed to have resolved them. The firm and its partners were gaining a pretty solid reputation.

Satisfied with your online research, you dialed the number on the card. The phone rang twice before it was picked up and you were greeted by a cheerful, female voice saying, “Thank you for calling Nelson & Murdock. This is Karen speaking, how I can help you?”

You introduced yourself and then said, “I need an appointment.”

“Let me pull up our schedule,” Karen said. “What day were you thinking?”

“Friday,” you said. It was not ideal since this was Tuesday but that was your next day off. You couldn't travel to Hell's Kitchen and back to the Upper East Side on your lunch break. Not unless you wanted to rush through the meeting, only skim the retainer agreement before signing it and eat lunch while you traveled. None of which sounded appealing.

And you'd probably wind up with mustard on your shirt.

Karen gave a little hum of acknowledgment before asking, “Do you have a preference?”

“Preference?”

“Would you rather have Nelson or Murdock?”

“Oh,” you said. “Not really. Whichever one is available first on Friday is fine.”

“Gotcha,” Karen said. “They collaborated so much that it doesn't especially matter but some of our clients prefer to deal primarily with Nelson or Murdock . . . . I have an appointment slot for Nelson free at two o'clock.”

“Two o'clock is perfect,” you said. It gave you time to run your errands in the morning.

“Two it is,” Karen said and you could hear the faint sound of typing. “Is this a criminal defense matter or a civil matter?”

“Criminal.”

More typing. “Can I have phone number?”

You gave it. More typing and then Karen asked, “Will you need any accommodations? For example, your paperwork printed in braille or large format?”

“No, I'm good,” you said.

“Okay . . . you're all set. Do you have our address?”

“Yes,” you said and read out the address.

“That's us,” Karen confirmed. “We're on the second floor. If you run into trouble before your appointment or need to reschedule, please don't hesitate to call.”

You nodded and said, “Thank you for your help.”

“You're welcome. Have a nice day.”

“You too,” you said and hung up the phone.

Their receptionist seemed nice. Granted, receptionist were seldom anything but friendly toward clients or potential clients. Even when those clients were being downright rude and would deserve getting told off.

The cops hadn't come to question you yet. You didn't think they had given up. Just that they were too busy. The exact details were still unclear but it appeared that the Sinister Six, along with some freelance nutcases, had tried to take advantage of the absence of the Avengers and the Fantastic Four, to wreck havoc across Manhattan. Spider-Man, with help from the other street-level heroes, had apparently managed to thwart their plans.

But it still left quite the mess for the police to sort out. Compounding that was, according to the news, some non-super-villain criminals were hoping the cops and vigilantes were too busy to keep them in line and started creating havoc of their own. The trouble had erupted in the early afternoon, not long after your phone call to Nelson & Murdock, and only now at midnight had you stopped hearing the wail of sirens piercing the air.

You worried about your vigilante. One of the news crews had captured footage of one of the nutcases, who was identified as Bullseye, nailing Daredevil in the side with a thrown knife. Luke Cage had knocked out Bullseye before he could take advantage. Then Cage had grabbed Daredevil and both of them disappeared from the battlefield.

You would like to think that Daredevil had gotten treated for his injuries and decided to let someone else handle Hell's Kitchen for the night. But if his stubbornness about his ankle was any measure of his general stubbornness, you didn't have much hope of him being that sensible. Which was why you were on your roof scanning nearby roofs for any sign of him.

“What are you doing?”

You yelped and spun around. There he was, standing behind you. Tired, hurt, and with you actively looking for him, he still managed to sneak up on you.

“Looking for you,” you answered.

He frowned, “Why?”

“I was worried,” you said. “Saw you get stabbed on the news.”

“I'm fine.”

“You fine or normal fine?” you challenged.

His lips twitched into a smirk, “Oh, I've got fine written all over me, sweetheart. I thought we established that.”

Seriously? Was he really doing this right now? You glared at him but it had absolutely zero effect. “Answer the question, Mr. Smartass.”

This only made his smirk grow wider. Part of you was still worried about him but increasing large part of you also wanted to strangle him. All of you found him beautiful even when he was exhausted and bloody and being annoying. It was completely unfair.

“Daredevil–” you started before he held up a hand.

“I'm fine. It wasn't as bad as it looked. The knife missed anything important. And the suit prevented it from sinking in as deep as it could have. All I needed was a few stitches.”

“A few stitches,” you repeated and wondered if his definition of a few was anything like his definition of fine. “And you decided to fight like that?”

He shrugged. “I've fought with stitches before. I usually avoid pulling them.”

“And when you don't?”

“The Night Nurse redoes them.”

“They must love that, redoing their work.”

“It's not her favorite thing,” he admitted and then managed to look a little sheepish. “Especially if I wake her up after a long shift at the hospital.”

I bet, you thought. Whoever the Night Nurse was, she deserved a medal. “She ever suggest that you let your wounds heal before getting into any more fisticuffs?”

His lips twitched, “All the time but she has grudgingly accepted that I'm a terrible patient who will ignore her medical advice if means saving someone.”

That sounded about right. And hard to argue. You had the feeling you won't make anymore headway on that topic than the Night Nurse had so let it go. Time to switch to another subject.

“Did you eat?” you asked.

“What?” he asked. Apparently he wasn't expecting that particular question.

“Did you eat? In between the fisticuffs and getting stitches, have you had anything to eat?”

“Why” he answered.

“Was lunch the last meal you had?” you answered his question with a question.

“Why?” he repeated.

“I have sandwiches, cookies,” you said and held up the shopping bag you have prepared earlier. “And apple juice.”

“Apple juice, how fancy.”

“Very fancy,” you said. “I sprang for the good stuff. The local organic one that doesn't have twenty different preservatives and dyes on its ingredients list. Just apple juice and water.”

“Why that one?”

You looked at him with confusion. “Because you said you had supersenses? And I imagine those chemicals make the apple juice taste weird?”

“They do,” he said, surprised. “You bought that with my senses in my mind?”

His voice had gone soft, the words almost vulnerable. It was a sharp contrast to his usual brash confidence. But it pleased you that he was willing to show that hint of vulnerability with you. It showed a degree of trust that made your heart flutter with joy.

“Yes,” you said. You held out the shopping bag and only a little hesitation, he took it.

“You can eat it at home if you'd rather head back. Just be careful with the parkour, the juice bottles are glass. And don't throw them away when you finish – the store will sell you more juice at reduced price if you return the bottles.”

“Anything else?” he asked as he inspected the rest of the contents.

“Yeah,” you said. “Don't forget to bring me back my Tupperware.”

“Yes, ma'am,” he said with a cheeky grin.

He lifted the corner of the Tupperware and sniffed, humming thoughtfully. “Chocolate chip . . . they don't smell like store cookies.”

“That's because they aren't,” you said. “I made them. From scratch.”

“You didn't have to do that.”

“I like to cook,” you said. “And bake. It relaxes me. And I prefer the taste of my own bread and cookies over anything in the store.”

He hummed in acknowledgment as he withdrew a cookie from the Tupperware container. You watched him bite into the cookie without no small amount of nerves. You were a good cook, a good baker, but you never made food for someone with superhuman senses. Nerves that only grew as he silently chewed.

“Are they . . . bad?” you asked, unable to take the silence.

“Bad?” he repeated, surprised. “Sweetheart, this is one of the best cookies I've ever tried.”

You felt your face flush, both from the unexpected praise and the petname. “It is?”

“Yes,” he said with a smile as gentle as his voice. “Feel free to feed me cookies anytime.”

“Really?”

“Really,” he said. “Through maybe not up here.”

“Huh? Why?” you asked, confused.

“Well,” he said with a wicked grin. “I was informed that pigeons poop up here. Everywhere. All the time.”

Your face now flushed for a different reason, you swapped him on the shoulder. A response that only made him grin wider. You wondered if he was this snarky all the time or was just a Daredevil thing.

“Anyone ever tell you that you have a smart mouth?”

“Occasionally,” he said.

Which, judging by that unrepentant smirk, probably meant often. Why were you not surprised?

You felt a yawn coming and tried to suppress it but it had been a long day and you were getting tired so it escaped.

“I should go,” Daredevil said.

“You don't have to.”

“You're tired.”

“So are you,” you said mulishly.

“Let's make a deal. You say goodnight, head down to your apartment, pet Houdini and go to bed and in exchange, I promise to head home without looking to get into anymore fisticuffs, eat some of this lovely food, and go to bed.”

You considered his proposal. It was fair and benefited both parties . . . you nodded in agreement and said, “Deal.”

“Excellent,” he said.

“Verbal Contract. Make sure you uphold your end of the bargain,” you said. “Don't make me have to get it in writing.”

For some reason this made him smile, “Of course. I wouldn't do that to you. Now say goodnight sweetheart.”

“Goodnight sweetheart” you said. He laughed and then did something totally unexpected. He leaned down and pressed his lips to your cheek. And before you could react, he had turned and disappeared into the night.

You stood there for several minutes in stunned surprise. His lips had been as soft as you imagined. Your cheek tingled where he had kissed you. Eventually, you turned and head back for your apartment, one hand pressed against your cheek.

Maybe this ridiculous crush wasn't so hopeless after all.

End Notes

In no particular order . . .

Point 1: Matt took both me and Reader by surprise with that ending. I was not expecting that at all.

Point 2: I know some of those Marvel characters mentioned have yet to appear in the MCU but one advantage of fan fiction is that I'm not bound by corporate agreements that says you can't use X character because Sony (or whatever) has the film rights to them . . .

And fair warning that I have strained relationship with canon. Mostly because I have firm policy about ignoring it when I think it's being dumb – to paraphrase Nick Fury, “I realize that canon has made it's decision but since it was a stupid decision, I have elected to ignore it.”

I also tend to freely mix canons if I like what the comic / cartoon / tv show / movie did better. I also accept fanon or headcanon in areas where canon is silent or undeveloped or it has violated the being too dumb rule and its other forms of canon have not presented me with a suitable substitute for the dumb thing.

My attitude in this regard is not restricted to Marvel. I feel that way about all my fandoms. Probably why I find fix-it fic so appealing.

Point 3: I have no idea if any such apple juice exists anywhere. I made it and the store it comes up. UPDATE - According to a reader on A03, such stores with juice and the reusing of glass bottles do actually exist through they sell more orange and carrot juice with apple only being available in the fall.

Point 4: I have never called a law office or worked in one so I don't know what information the receptionist collects to set the appointment. Nor could I find anything specific. So I based it on my own experience working as a receptionist in a non-law office. If any lawyer is reading this story and would like offer a correction, please do so.
