Interview with a vampire…. Or anti-vaxxer
Some years back there was a vampire movie called interview with a vampire. Brad Pitt was the vampire. He was very well received among the living females in the movie but sucked the life out of them.

Regulators Waking Up To Persistent Negligent Conduct: Med Spas

THE WORST ADVICE EVER GIVEN TO A PERSONAL INJURY CLIENT
A potential client recently contacted me 22 months after an out of state car accident. The case sounded fairly easy and something I would have been interested in 22 months ago.
