I'd take a break from practicing law and accepted this position <br /> thinking it was gonna last about a year or two. It's been thirteen <br /> years and I have two children in college. I mean one in college <br /> and the other about to enter and things kind of changed a little bit. <br /> So I intend to and I enjoy what I do for the County I've assisted <br /> thousands of people. Providing immigration information and <br /> additional services I provide being that I have the experience, <br /> background and expertise in immigration law. Basically, like a pro <br /> bono for the County not representing anyone however providing <br /> the information they need and the additional assistance they may <br /> require to move their immigration services along. Moving forward <br /> to now 2015, like I said I have two children in college. I am <br /> hoping that with your permission and blessing that I be allowed to <br /> accept immigration cases on the side. In the past, I have been <br /> asked many of them from this County which I have rejected or not <br /> accepted because of the appearance of impropriety. However, I <br /> also get contacted from all over the state, I get contacted from <br /> people from different states. The latest one being from Florida <br /> because of referrals coming from people whom I've helped or <br /> assisted from our County and numerous others.

When someone wanted to have a second job, <br /> many times we're looking at a supervisor and the processes are in <br /> place to make sure that there would be no conflicts of interest. Do <br /> you recall some of those issues? It's not even relevant? What do <br /> you have to say Mr. Henricks? <br /> Mr. Henricks: First of all we cannot give you permission for anything. So if you <br /> come to us, what we say is very narrow. We only interpret the <br /> Ethics Code and let me tell you if you read the Ethics Code on <br /> Conflicts of Interest it's written very narrowly in only certain <br /> areas. It doesn't cover the area of conflict of interest as we know it <br /> in society. You understand. It's a very narrow definition of <br /> conflict of interest that's all we can relate to at this point. Looking <br /> over what your position is, and how many people that come to you <br /> and why they come to you they usually come to you because they <br />
