But about the time I started interning in the DA's office, a former student from my law school was being stalked by a felon who had found her phone number on an old cached webpage.
I have relaxed some since then. First, I don't deal with criminals anymore. The cases that I work on are generally not the kind of thing where you have to worry about a PO'd opponent coming after you.
But then there is this, published in a public forum...
[removed due to google-ability (yes, I get the irony, since in this very post I talk about my awareness of giving out personal info online) but the gist is that some a-hole wants to blame the attorney for the acts of his clients, including ostracizing the attorney, his wife and his children from all social involvement in the community.]
Granted, this case is very emotional. But it is scary to think that people really feel this way about the attorneys who are involved with this case.

That *is* scary. Major creep who'd suggest it, too. This is what makes me glad I have an aggressive dog.
When Matthew was health administrator for the postal service, it was not uncommon for threats to be made against him - except he "knew I'd worry" so he wouldn't tell me until about 6 months after. Arg!
Yeah, I felt pretty safe back in college when we had a 90 lb. dog who barked at anyone who knocked on the door--and then would lick to death anyone who actually entered. Now I have a 60 lb dog who never barks at anything and would also just lick any intruders to death. What is the point of a 60 lb. blob of fur (who is currently shedding all over the house) who won't even scare away bad guys?
I work for a public defender's office. The limit on the personal info I give clients is the pictures in my office and my office numbers/address. NO to cell numbers, home numbers etc. My husband and I have different last names. I'm not listed in the phone book. It can get really scary...
Eek!
