joe aint jesus

joe was my savior in a criminal gun possession case.my first lawyer said 90 days county jail ,first offense,no questions. and i paid for his counsel."NEVER HEARD OF EM" was joes response to his name when i sat down to retain his counsel.i was a single father, how can i do 90 days in county. i express...ed my concerns to joe as far as my family, and wanting to "have some time "before i actually had to sit down and serve a sentence. joe understood.delay time to get things in order. oh, the kids? no problem, joe was able to get home detention to serve my 90. and it was a hard 90. getting things in order took 3 years. yeah i had to meet and greet every month at 850 bryant, but i got to see the legend operate. always wear a suit to court. i didnt one time and i thought the guy was gonna punch me. he was vocal about it.so after h.d. i checked in with the clerk to turn in paper work. i see everyone in line asking probation lengths. so when its my turn i do the same. no probation. uncle joe. i guess checkin in at the court house monthly for three years has its advantages.along with staying out of trouble. circumvention he called it. brilliant. and i got to pay him in payments. he can t fix your prior arrests or stupidy, he will tell you this. but give him a leg to stand on, and he'll kick ass with it. on his time. when he wants to. i tried to bring the guy some info that i thought may be pertinant to the case, he humored me,put it in his pocket. upon finishing our monthly court date he says"quit doin my job for me". i said "sh-- joe, somebodys gotta do it" and walked off smiling. the next month he missed court."emergency".i love it.so i got to watch everyone go before me, and get up and specially appear for joe o sullivan!!!! i shoulda stayed in school.needless to say , after that, i gave the man respect and room to work. and i have NO complaints. maybe it was just THE LUCK OF THE IRISH .joe aint jesus...but he was my savior.
