Hey Guys, I am going crazy. I am currently working at a criminal defense 
firm as a legal intern. I just recently took the bar exam, but I have 
not received my scores yet. I need to read a criminal arrest report, but 
some parts of the document is write by hand. I tried using AIR, but they 
are so expensive and they really do not transcribe documents. I tried 
using Be My Eyes, but the document is in a PDF, so no volunteer can read 
the document; even if, they take a picture of the document with there 
cell phone. I tried converting the document to a searchable PDF, but 
that was a total nightmare. I could only read twenty percent of the 
document. I spoke with the owner of the law firm, and suggested that 
someone read the document into a MP3, but he said, "No because that 
would not be a good use of his resources." Also, he said, that "Everyone 
must pull there own weight." I tried hiring a part-time Paralegal 
remotely, but she is not working out as well. Moreover, I only make $13 
an hour. The firm is very small with only five people including the 
owner. I am running out of ideas. I love the job, but someone told me, 
that "You cannot be a criminal defense attorney alone. You need an 
assistance. How is that possible, when I have not passed the bar exam?  
Please help! I have only worked at this law firm for two weeks



Sincerely,


Roderick Thomas.
