senior judge, my judge for this case is a former Miss Virginia. She used to be a prosecuting attorney, and oddly enough my attorney was her assistant at the time (from '94-'98). That's neither here, nor there, but she is known for being a very tough judge. Not to split hairs too much... but is facial hair a bad thing? I have a small mustache and goatee, I appear very young without them. Cut those off? Also, my first appearance of court i wore an all black suit, black tie, white dress shirt. Is that over doing it? Stupid questions, feel free to make fun... but i got the vibe from this judge that she wouldn't mind punishing a young man with money (I've been before her prior to my current case in one with multiple defendants and was found not guilty).
