Download or read book The Following Does Not Constitute Legal Advice written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If I need to call in a plumber to come and fix my toilet, I expect to have my toilet fixed. I don't think that is asking too much. One thing I would not expect a plumber to do when fixing my toilet is to leave a massive floater in my toilet bowl. That is for me to do, once it is fixed. Lawyers, when they give useless advice, are doing the plumber equivalent of leaving a floater in the toilet bowl of their client's life. So much of what lawyers say and do is not what people want or need. People want real answers to legal questions, so their problem can be fixed or they can feel safe and protected. One day, not that long ago, I decided that I did not want to be a floater-leaving lawyer any more. I wanted to stop providing a form of legal 'service' that was great for my billable hours, but absolutely terrible for my clients. I wanted to see what would happen if I stopped giving legal advice and started giving proper, useful answers to people's legal questions and concerns. The result was my very first book, which I call 'The Following Does Not Constitute Legal Advice'. The book is made up of a collection of common legal questions, with straightforward legal answers. I cover how to get out of a speeding ticket, whether prostitution is legal, how it is legally possible to start a new country, whether dogs or cats are the better animal (legally speaking) and over 40 other topics. No answer is more than a few pages long, most feature one or two bits of course language, and all are intended to be helpful and useful.

Download or read book Legal Whores written by Thomas A. Binford and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a synopsis of the legal industry & basic "how to" for the individual that can’t afford an attorney. The "how to" advice is directed to the more mundane everyday type litigation w/c might confront a person on a daily basis. Forms & advice might vary a little with the specific jurisdiction & timely publishing of this manual but the premise & foundation remain the same. As a whole, attorneys, lawyers, or judges are known by the connotation of LEGAL WHORES in this book. It is a deservedly appropriate title for this vocation. Before proceeding, please be advised that these are real, non-fiction accounts of what the legal fraternity does to extract money from the public. There literally are no limits/bounds as to what the judicial fraternity will do to acquire wealth in whatever form. Two of the main attributes used to extract money from his clients are the client's greed/emotions. The lawyer tells his client that they will win the case & the client will probably get a zillion dollars. The typical person in these United States, salivates at the prospect of getting unearned moneys from the sweat of someone else. This is easy prey for the attorney. Then there is the emotional scenario where the client is involved in a situation that incurs his emotional wrath/confrontational issues involving neighbors, family, business. The attorney convinces his client that he can get the best of the opposition in court, therefore, let's get 'em! Whether the merits of the case warrant litigation/not is purely incidental to the attorney's desire to line his pockets with the client's cash. Most litigation requires little cost to the litigant for resolution via mediation, arbitration/limited litigation. However, this sort of resolution puts little money in the pockets of the legal fraternity. Use psychology & prey on the client's greed &/or emotional behavioral attributes to extract the maximum amount of fees from the clients for the attorney's efforts-as defined by the attorney
