I am happy to announce that I have passed another Bar Exam. I am now admitted to practice in the Southern District of Florida. That means I can start taking on Federal cases. I created a short video about Sports Agent Blog. Check it out and let us know what you think in the comments. You can even Tweet it if you dare.
