Like I said before, I should blog more often.
Okay, so Frank and I have been married three months short of five years. In all that time, we generally seek out the most basic of hotel rooms — Motel 6 is our style, thank you.
But for three nights, we’re living it up in luxury at the […]
Frank has a very nice plaque that reads: Maine Bar Foundation and Volunteer Lawyers Project - Pro Bono Publico Award, Francis J. Cassidy, Jr., Esq., Most Family Law Cases Accepted by an Attorney, January 25, 2007.
How’s THAT for accomplishment? Turns out he was one of five attorneys statewide who accepted five family law cases in […]
This is not why we live in Downeast Maine. The first snow came yesterday, starting around 10am and keeping Frank from driving to Ellsworth. We could tell that it would be the sleety, slippery snow that would make roads bad. It kept up until about 6pm, and we heard the snowplows outside a couple times.
This […]
Frank’s cake went over great. I wasn’t there either to see the drug court graduation (where everyone says kind things about how far these young people have come), or the cake-and-soda celebration afterward. I saw only the aftermath, the box with all-but-seven pieces (out of 30-plus) gone. Even the court clerks from downstairs came upstairs […]
This blog hasn’t had a word about Frank’s involvement with the “Washington County Adult Drug Court.” The drug court is similar to others around the country, all funded by Dept of Justice. This one meets in Calais and Machias on alternating Friday mornings. It’s for people who have substance abuse problems whose crimes (burglary, forged […]
Frank has regained an official elected position within the Washington County Bar Association. One of the lawyers we like most is moving his family to England to help his elderly mother there. So the bar gathered last night for a meeting and a going-away dinner for him. He was elected the president last October, at […]
He won, he won! Well, sort of. This court case involved three charges — OUI (operating under intoxication), driving to endanger and resisting arrest. The jury came back with not guilty on the OUI, but guilty on the other two. Frank’s client was super-worried about the OUI, but Frank beat it. The client ended up […]
Now we know that our Frank Cassidy leans toward good form (as well as the formal), but we just don’t see how he managed to refrain from doing the Victory Dance (where one punches the air with the No. 1 sign repeatedly, arms alternating) in the courthouse hallway after winning his case. Yes, dear audience, […]
Frank has had a jury trial yesterday (Thursday) and today in Washington County Superior Court. So he must appear in his very best three-piece suits. Yesterday he wore his gray suit and this morning, he’s going off in his navy suit.
But the other person who must appear his best is his client, the defendant. Frank […]
