2 days later you receive a call from the client who tells you they were arrested in the French Quarter for fighting after getting black out drunk and have just been released from jail. They want to know if you also handle criminal misdemeanors.

The most New Orleans thing I’ve read today

Love it. Did a two week bench trial earlier this year in New Orleans and the food was incredible.
