Her hands traced up my forearm to my neck, inviting my lips towards her over size D breasts. I never turned down an invitation. Melissa was perched on my lap, her legs on either side of me and her back pressed against the back of my desk. Her body radiated a scent of roses, which was a huge turn on. I gripped her buttcheeks and squeezed them tightly, earning another moan. She…

For my mentorship paper I chose to speak with an attorney named Margaret G. Zickuhr. Mrs. Zickuhr is a Marquette Graduate and who practices primarily family law out of her firm named Houseman and Feind LLP where she is a partner.

She told me that I could ask her the questions while she ate. I began asking her the questions, answering the…

I believe that there are absolutely "rights" and "wrongs" in the handling of a personal injury claim. At the conclusion of this report, if you have questions, I will tell you how we can connect to try to get them answered. Problem Presented: You have just been involved in an automobile collision which was not your fault. Your car is all banged up; you are hurt; you…
