It’s not possible for lawyers to get behind on personal bills when doing pro bono work?

They bill you 1/10 (6 min.) of an hour for a phone call. Do you know how many (unnecessary) billable phone calls a person can make in an hour/day?

You can bet there are IRS/tax advantages for "pro bono" work lawyers do or they wouldn't do it. That's why/how GOP_Lady knows how many hours are NOT billed...that time is "pro bono" time -wink-wink.

GOP Lady just doesn’t know lawyers who care as much about saving lives as Christine does. It takes a special kind of person to know that there’s a chance they can lose their house when taking on a project, but they still do it, because it’s the right thing to do. That kind of person is the kind of person we want to be Senator.

Violating the law to do pro-bono work is a “conservative” position??
