The main reason you need a lawyer is - - - - -
Prosecutors frequently over-charge to the point of persecution to elicit a plea-bargain that counts as a "Win" in their statistics.
Too many firms/lawyers are out drumming up cases for specious claims that the corporations and their insurance brokers settle before any trial to save costs.
Too many have bought into the idea that suing the "deep pocket" defendant costs us nothing.
We might 'need' one - but we don't have to like it!
My heart bleeds...
He was brilliant, non-conformist and anti-social. The diplomas and all the 12-18 month member certificates on his walls substantiated that. He particularly railed about all the crooked real estate agents and attorneys in the county. Said he could count on one hand the ones who were honest amongst both professions.
Lol, I'll probably never purchase a house now or will have to sign some temporary instanity pledge, should I ever need his services again.
Thanks - you illustrated my points (#61) very well.
Again - if you can’t resolve a dispute with someone who stole from you, what do you do?
Tell me. Shoot the guy? Beat him up? I want to hear the brilliant plan you have.
St. Peter looks shocked when he sees the man, exclaiming "Wow! You look fantastic for a 125 year old man!"
The lawyer responds, "I'm only 40. Where did you get the idea that I was 125?
St. Peter: "I used copies of your billing records to estimate your age."
The feds can be very efficent at times, in contrast to the bumbling idiots they appear to be. Everything that possibly can be outsourced appears to be leaving shores.
Maybe we can outsource politicians next
I had paid an out-of-state lawyer to go to bat for me on behalf of my grandchildren, 5k. 1500 miles from where we live.
He took his fixed fee and kissed up to the judge. My mistake was to hire an attorney who regularly practiced in that county. The judge gave credibility to an granduncle of the children and we had a recording where that uncle had said on a phone call that he didn’t give a damn about court procedure and our attorney wouldn’t use that. We lost. The grandkids had to endure two more years of hell in that state until a miracle came along that closed the case.
The lawyer was a thief. In the end his actions did nothing to get my son his custody back.
Family court is a rigged game for the woman and it does not matter who you hire or at what cost.
Let me ask you. What do you think is a fair fee? I ask that considering people have overhead, insurance, staff, etc.
Free? Lawyers can’t guarantee results in the court system since that is an impossible situation. So tell me what your ideal situation would have been?
Let me guess - not pay anything and get everything you want. right?
A lot of companies are very wary about hiring lawyers for non-legal positions.
Good news for once. Its a start. Lawyers need to get down to minimum wage.
Are there too many lawyers? Or are they overpaid?
You don’t get both in a free market.
Yeah, except that the need for one is usually due to some PC bull**** in the first place.
Thread Winner!
The wonders of the selective quote never fail to amaze some, I agree.
