"One very ingenious young lawyer out of California did just that to give herself a competitive edge. Allison Margolin, a newly minted Harvard Law School graduate, who concentrates in criminal law, is very passionate about the decriminalization of marijuana. Her video highlights not just her criminal practice, but has testimonials of her and a client on the courthouse steps. The video allows her to showcase her mission through a medium her client base would most likely use." Connecticut Law Review

"Framed Skunk Magazine features and Us Weekly covers adorn her office walls alongside diplomas from Columbia and Harvard Law. She's been profiled in the Los Angeles Times and keeps a personal blog that covers everything from social and legal commentary to musings on Paris Hilton and Playboy. You can even watch YouTube videos of her expounding on why all drugs should be legalized." Helen Jupiter-Blogger.LA.com

"Allison Margolin, if you read articles written on her, projects nothing less than who she is, irreverent quirky, passionate and committed, well-educated, gutsy, and weaned on criminal law. And her 'brand' shows all of that." Build A Solo Practice, LLC

I've really enjoyed reading about what you've done with yourself from college, right up to now. I also think your networking/marketing prowess is what pisses off your detractors most. YouTube? A stroke of genius!!! They'll make a movie about you eventually! But you already know that right?" Cannazine - Myspace friend

LA'S DOPEST ATTORNEY IS COMING OUT MONDAY NIGHT

Last year, I think it was, I was asked to be on a show for Queer TV



Sandra Bernhardt was the co-host, and she asked me questions about the world of criminal law. I loved being on the show. The transvestite who did the news report embraced me and everyone treated me as if I was a hero. I also loved the format; during commercial breaks these great girls dressed like strippers/cage dancers did a little dance. The whole atmosphere was very rave-like, minus the drugs.

Apparently, the show, "Queer Alternative" has been bought and the episode I'm on will air Monday Nov. 6th. Check it out.

Sixteen Layers of Make-Up


By Kara Severson


Being poor in LA is a major drag. Didn't I just read something somewhere about how there is no middle-class in LA but somehow it works for the city? Either you're a millionaire or you're starving while working 60 hours a week. I, unfortunately, am on the high-end of the latter.
