At this point I’m scarred for my life and don’t wanna stay on the property anymore after he pulled and showed his gun at me twic

But my apartment does not want to let me out the leased

At this point, can you just cut and run? One month rent is not worth… your life

That’s terrifying. I’m wondering what happened to escalate the situation to that point? Of course not an excuse I am just curious.

Regardless I would contact the police.

I’m sorry you’re going through this, please stay away from this person and request a meeting with the property manger. Surely with a report in hand, something should get done—hopefully. Sending positive vibes your way.

Absolutely agreed. Some people are just animals

I called the police and I am going to send my apartment the police report.

Do you think I can sue at this point

Sorry that you are going through this. Sounds like you are taking the right steps. I suggest you reach out to pro Bono counsel or local counsel. No of us would know. Additionally, this isn’t a legal advice thread, no offense :/

With this feeling, you should leave anyway asap. And worry about the logistics of how much you’re expected to pay after the fact! I know with DV cases a person is able to get out the lease. There may be something similar for your case depending on the stage.

Also, not trying to be a butthole… but if you make market, a month and a half of rent should barely dent your pockets for a situation like this. No one wants to waste money, but money should be the least of your concern right now.

Considering leaving to take a partner position at a small firm. Is it worth it? Would only be 2 partners with a staff of 10. Comp would be 250k on the low end and probably top out around 350k. Would take 3-4 years to get to this level of comp as would be buying 10% per year up to 40% of the firm. Am I stupid for not taking this? Currently manager making 125k. Comp first year as junior partner would be 120k with 10% ownership.

What’s the best thing I could buy for my old man’s birthday for about $10k? Would go Rolex (since he knows Rolex) but would prefer new, which limits my options there. Looking for something a little sporty, with a bracelet, and waterproof (100m should suffice). Nothing bombastic like a Panerai, but something a little more exciting than say a Datejust? And not Grand Seiko - he’s gonna think it’s like $50 and lose it :(

This bowl was originally created for black attorneys in big law, but since it’s the only bowl for black attorneys, many black attorneys in other sectors have joined. Some people are apprehensive about starting another bowl for all black attorneys because it will take away from this bowl. Assuming that the conversations & topics will stay the same, What are you thoughts on keeping this bowl solely for black in big law verses Opening this bowl to any black lawyer?
