I'm suddenly out of work at 53 years old with a 27-year career in personal injury law. My only glitch is I can't work on Thursdays for another year until my autistic grandson, who I keep on those days, starts a school program. I am in the Norfolk / Virginia Beach area if anyone has any leads. thank you!!
