Chapter 621 Flock Law Firm
"The host suddenly mentioned Mira's words. Fei Ji was a little confused at first, but then she waved her fists in anger at the camera, and said he wanted to make an appointment and beat her up hard, just like in the waiting hall before..."
Linda reported the latest developments of the incident with Song Ya. "Now she was believed by FCC (FCC) to publicly promote a violent warning, and that TV station was also fined. Maybe she will be prosecuted by local prosecutors in the future..."
"Prosecution? Is it that serious? What is the charge?" Song Ya asked.
"Unconduct and misdemeanor are not a big trouble. She has already taken the route of a hip-hop female singer who likes to be quarrel, which is considered a regular treatment. She just needs to apologize publicly and pay a small fine and volunteer for a few hours of community service." Linda said: "The fine is generally paid by the company, and we have to pay the TV station a small compensation, a total of more than 10,000 yuan."
"Which station in the TV industry can have no violent content now?"
That little money is a small matter. Song Ya didn't expect the matter to be so serious. "It's okay if people in the hip-hop circle say on the radio that is 10,000 times more than Feji."
"The Telecommunications Act, the bill under discussion, intends to install anti-violence chips on all TVs sold to control program ratings and eliminate violent content. In order to cooperate with the passage of the bill, many media are building momentum. Your acquaintances in Hollywood, Spielberg, David Geffen, and Harvey Weinstein are all anti-violence activists. Spielberg even stated that his director Indiana Jones is an overpromoting, irresponsible film. He said he is now sensitive to violence because he has five children."
Linda explained the background, "Why do we come forward and issue a statement too? The donkey party should be happy to see it."
"Is it wrong to have violent elements in an action adventure film? Or did he shoot it himself... these hypocritical guys... OK, let Hamlin, you draft the manuscript for me, and then you will publish it publicly."
Song Ya knew that Spielberg and the others were all fans of the Donkey Party, so of course he was a member of the same place. He nodded in agreement, "It's time to calm down, and it's just a lesson for Fei Ji."
A 'ding' came from my ears, and when I arrived, the three of them walked out of the elevator under the protection of Old Mike and Mawota.
“Welcome to my law firm, aplus.”
Alicia was already waiting gracefully in front of the logo of the "Flock Law Firm" at the door. She had her own law firm. She no longer worked for others and now dressed much more high-profile. Today she even put on a flaming red lips makeup.
"I'm glad to meet you, Alicia, Dilai."
Song Ya shook hands with them, and after many twists and turns, she finally signed the small business.
Although Chicago is known as the hometown of skyscrapers, many "old" skyscrapers have become burdensome now. In order to adapt to new offices, fire protection and other requirements, it is necessary to spend a lot of money to renovate. Some floors that don't have money to renovate are large, but the rent is not high, so her new law firm is open in this kind of place.
The public security nearby was also average. Song Ya saw the gang's "sales point" in her car when she came.
"So, everything is going to start over here, right?"
Song Ya looked around her office, and there was not even a partition on the work station. It was still the old-fashioned style of rehearsing the desks in sequence. Most of the tables were empty, and the office supplies on someone's work stations were also very simple.
This kind of law firm, if a large client comes, he will definitely turn around and leave. However, since she is the wife of the state prosecutor, Song Ya naturally picked up the problem and said, "I wish you a successful career, Alicia."
"Thank you, it will change a lot soon, believe me."
Alicia is now in an ambitious state, confidently bringing them to her simple naming partner office, and begins to review the last contract with Hamlin.
While waiting, Song Ya quietly looked at the watch. He came here today to have an appointment with Peter.
The reason why Wil Gardner agreed to let go was because Peter did not choose to treat him and Diane hard, but instead packaged some of Cook County's legal aid business to Lockhart and Gardner Law Firms with a soft figure.
If a poor American person has no money to hire a lawyer to sue, the local court will designate him a legal aid lawyer to go to court. The lawyer will then charge the bill according to the pieces from the court, and the subsequent labor costs are also very meager, but this is already a good way for many small lawyers and interns in law firms to make a living and exercise.
Sometimes the court will give this type of business package to certain law firms, settle regularly, and streamline procedures and office expenses. Anyway, it is government funding, so Peter is also generous to the taxpayers this time.
In fact, top law firms are generally not happy to take on such thankless jobs, but Diane Lockhart is an activist in legal aid, and there is also a big business. Since the poor who cannot afford to hire a lawyer is also a high-risk group who is wronged and detained by law enforcement units. If Lockhart and Gardner Law Firms who dare to challenge law enforcement agencies get a handle in the process of legal aid, they will turn around and play the role of vulture lawyers, assist the parties in launching lawsuits, and get large compensation from the government.
Such compensation will also be paid by the taxpayer in the end.
Anyway, it is not convenient for Peter to give the business directly to his wife. In this way, it is also a tacit exchange of interests.
So for Song Ya, the fun thing about this is that from now on, Peter and Will Gardner have started a cooperation.
"Although Americans believe that business is business, Peter is really not an ordinary person. Maybe he is a politician."
Song Ya looked at Alicia, who was smiling and focused on signing the documents, and sighed secretly in her heart.
"Peter is here." Old Mike came in and whispered in his ear.
"OK."
He went out to the elevator and saw Peter. After the two of them exchanged greetings, they left the escort, found a secluded place, and started talking about the main things.
"So Diane Lockhart won't be acting Pablo again, right?" he asked part of the deal.
“San Diego is too far away.”
Peter implies that the problem has been resolved, "Thank you for providing my wife's law firm with the first big business."
“I’m honored to continue working with Alicia.”
It’s not a big business for himself. In Chicago, his legal expenditures for A+ records and A+ copyright and asset management companies are much higher than those for A+ audio. Song Ya smiled modestly, “What about your governor’s plan? What is the specific plan? This year is the election year, or is it waiting for the next term?”
"Just this year, the polls have been well received, although they are far behind some party candidates in preparations."
Peter leaned against the wall in a good mood and said, "That meeting has already begun, and there is a significant downward trend in crime rates in Cook County and Chicago."
"Have you been done?" Song Ya knew that he was referring to convening peace meetings for various gang leaders. His last time he attacked public housing areas with a strong fist and was very popular among Chicago people. If he immediately reduced the crime rate after his comeback, the people were indeed likely to vote for him. If he won the city of Chicago and Cook County, it would be almost impossible for Illinois governor to lose.
"Yes."
Peter nodded, "But recently..." He thought about his words, "It seems that some agents of FBI are quietly moving in Chicago, and probably have not completely let go of Sinaloa's case."
"Will there be trouble?" Song Ya asked casually without saying a word.
“It should be no problem.”
Peter didn't seem to care much about it.
Song Yaxin was a little hung up again. He learned from old Mc that it was actually the FBI Inspector Vic who killed him, but the state prosecutor in front of him should not be clear about the inside story. "In short, after you announce your candidacy, my support will be soon. The previous promise will still be effective, with the same strength as supporting Gore."
"Then I would like to thank you in advance."
He donated a million to Gore. Peter was of course happy to hear the billionaire's promise again, "Oh, by the way, there is another thing. The prison party cannot lock Xiao Lowry in the lockdown room indefinitely. Do you have any ideas?"
"Will Barron take care of him?" Song Ya asked.
"Although Diane Lockhart no longer provides legal aid to Pablo, she has been to San Diego and talked twice after all, and Pablo certainly won't trust Barron now. You know, although San Diego is very far from Chicago, the prisoners in prison have their own way of delivering messages."
Peter was not very relieved, "And after Xiao Lowry left the lockdown room, many media people who wanted to do the Sinaloa case would definitely visit him frequently or help him pass the message."
"Then what should we do?" Song Ya didn't understand his hint very much.
"Do you still have feelings for Xiao Lowry?"
A mature man with a charming height seemed to be smiling on his lips, "Or do you think he is a hidden danger like me?"
Song Ya understood this time, swallowed slightly, and the words came to her mouth, and some past events came to her mind, "Of course, that guy has always been a hidden danger to me." After about a few minutes, he replied to the other party.
