I am very concerned about the attorney's conduct. The attorney takes cases from other states even though he is only authorized to work in GA, and he only handles pre-litigation matters. He claims it is okay to represent clients as long as he does not file a lawsuit in court, but he does not provide guidance on the laws of those other states. I'm unsure if what he's doing is permissible. Can you share your thoughts on this?

This is permissible pre-lit, however, there is risk. The attorney must educate him/herself with the laws of that jurisdiction and instruct/inform his staff accordingly. Document the file with your questions & make sure the attorney provides the answers you need on that state's laws and procedures. You have to be proactive, or your attorney may not realize you are flying blind. It is a good learning opportunity.

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.
