"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.

"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

FBI ABUSES MAY LEAD TO PATRIOT ACT LIMITS



Want the REAL reason why identity theft is the number one crime in America? Read today's LA Times front page story By Richard B. Schmitt

WASHINGTON — Angry lawmakers on Friday threatened to amend the USA Patriot Act and limit the FBI's powers in the wake of a disclosure that agents had improperly obtained confidential records of people in the United States.

US MAGAZINE WANTS ME -FOR A QUOTE



Just about every week I get with my pal Jana Rausch who has an upcoming blog, and we scour the tabloids for interesting celebrity tidbits. It's a favorite pastime of ours and a well needed break from reality.
So I was delighted when US Magazine called today and asked if I would provide legal commentary for an upcoming issue about drug use in Hollywood. As soon as I know the issue I'll pass it on!

CNN: FBI snooping broke rules



The FBI is guilty of "serious misuse" of the power to secretly obtain private information under the Patriot Act, a government audit said today. The Justice Department's inspector general looked at the FBI's use of national security letters, in which agents demand personal and business information about individuals without court orders.

FULL STORY

Will our president stand up in disgust and demand an immediate investigation? Perhaps the bigger question is will he even bother to comment...

MySpace? Not always...

I'm pretty new to Myspace and this afternoon I got hacked into, it's kind of scary. I read somewhere on myspace that it's full of nothing but anonymous hackers, haters and masturbators ...that might be partly true, but then like just a little while ago, you get good stuff like this:



Allison

WOW Your amazing, I just was not sure if you were for real....
Its wonderful what your doing, I recently became very interested in the area of law, police corruption, and criminalization of physicians who prescribe medications legally to pain patients who have been injured due to horrific Vehicle accidents and falls........... I discovered a lot of governmental lies, corruption and disgrace

Lots of over zealous dirty cops and prosecutors looking to promote themselves by destroying the lives of hard working physicians and American patients in the name of war on drugs

Did you read the article written about the war on drugs is the war on doctors? Through all these Dramas I spoke with Eli Stuntman who changed the Oregon laws and met some very interesting people like criminal attorney john flannery and so on..........

PS As you know Marijuana is legal in Amsterdam as well as prostitution in which its regulated by the government hence the criminal aspects of it is removed............ Why is America such Hippocrates who knows?

Would love to talk to you more and make friends
Peace
Nadia

Thanks Nadia!

ALLISON'S "A License to Chill" QUOTES IN LA TIMES


(Read LA Times West Magazine's entire feature)

A LICENSE TO CHILL

By Michael Goldstein

Do you medicate? I do.

I'm not talking about Xanax or Prozac or Vicodin or their siblings. I have a "recommendation" (not a prescription, a recommendation) for pot. This puts me in a legally and socially problematic condition. The state of California says I can ingest marijuana for medicinal purposes, but the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration thinks I'm a criminal if I do...
