Comment preview: > Probably not a bad idea to get a lawyer to go over the paperwork. That said, never take legal advice from a first year law student. For that matter, never give legal advice as a first year law student. > Experience: Second year law student You shou ....


Comment preview: Most people only deal with lawyers on their worst days. When you do have to deal with a lawyer, there's always one on your side, and there's always one against you. So even if you have a lawyer who is on your side, you are paying her a shit-ton of money, a ....


Comment preview: It's been my experience that lawyers do not call people and threaten lawsuits, they send formal notice in the mail. Did this lawyer give you a name or law firm? If so, call that firm and ask if the stylist is actually a client of the lawyer. This definitel ....


Comment preview: I'm trying to think of the nicest possible way to say this, but. . . you really do sound pretty naive. You need your own lawyer. Even aside from the issue of the emails, this is litigation. It is, at the very least, a bewilderingly bizarre thicket of pr ....

Comment preview: It is true that there are "ambulance chasers" in the legal profession. Lawyers think lowly of sleazy lawyers just like the rest of the public. Most lawyers do not do shady personal injury work (nonetheless, there is a need for lawyers to represent legitima ....


Comment preview: I am a lawyer. I am not your lawyer. Because if I were your lawyer, you wouldn't be asking the internet for legal advice. Or I'd fire your ass. The only good advice you've gotten in this thread is to consult a lawyer in your jurisdiction. All of this talk ....


Comment preview: Ambulance chasing lawyers. This is how the gig works. Somebody gets in a crash, or in your case acts like an idiot. A lawyer finds out about the incident and tells one of the parties that they will get a claim for you. They write your insurance a letter as ....


Comment preview: There's only (lawyer) one thing (lawyer) that you (lawyer) need to (lawyer) consider... GET. A. LAWYER. I know what it's like to want to trust and forgive a woman you love, even after finding her IN BED with another guy. That one bitch taught me that once ....


Comment preview: It would depend. They're supposed to stop questioning you, except to ask for clarification and find out who your lawyer is, as soon as you ask for a lawyer. But (1) that doesn't always happen, (2) if you're not really firm/specific about it ("I want my l ....


Comment preview: I'll try to explain your actions to you: > So I consulted with a lawyer for free 1 hour and told him my whole situation. I told him I want him to be my lawyer and that I want him to talk with the police and next time I see him I will pay him his money ....


Comment preview: Real lawyer here. In the olden days, or in England (same thing?), there were two types of lawyers. They were called "barristers" and "soliciters." Today, just to make this extra-special complicated (and because England is dangerously close to France), w ....


Comment preview: This post should be voted through the roof. When someone asks for legal advice, people with legitimate insight into the situation provide advice about **what you should talk to your lawyer about**, and their comments get drowned out by all the comments tha ....


Comment preview: lawyer? Umm... lawyer? Wait... lawyer? Oh, I know, LAWYER! You're a kid in school, get a fucking lawyer involved. Talk to your parents and ask them if they know of a lawyer you can consult. It may cost a few sessions of $150 each, but is it worth it? E ....


Comment preview: ignore this site, it's a link to a lawyers "calculator", I Have tested it with a few different parameters and no matter what, it will say you are entitled to more. It is advertising for this law firm! Better idea is to read the legislation to determine wha ....


Comment preview: Yeah, I'm no lawyer but even I know that's not how it works. They don't ask for your lawyer to 'send the motions to'. They would file suit with the courts and serve you notice. This could be done by the courts or by an outside entity hired to serve you ( ....


Comment preview: If you are questioned by police, it should go like this: Police: "did you steal CPUs and sell them on ebay?" you: "I want a lawyer." Police: "We have proof, including all your ebay/paypal and bank records that you did this!" You: "I want a lawyer." Police: ....


Comment preview: There are plenty of search tools out there for this online. Just make sure you find a legitimate one and not something geared to steer business toward a particular lawyer or group of lawyers. Try [martindale.com](http://www.martindale.com/). Martindale- ....


Comment preview: It's interesting that the article does not mention any specific act that the lawyer did with his access to Apple's confidential information to further the wife/patent troll's company in furtherance of their suit. If the lawyer had no active role (I believe ....


Comment preview: Prepare for the worst, clean house, maybe look up some lawyers. If you do have to interact with police, DONT SAY ANYTHING except "I don't feel comfortable talking without consulting a lawyer". Don't listen to what they say, they won't go easier on you if y ....


Comment preview: Most people unfamiliar with legal professional rules would be confused, like you are. There are a number of things that come into play. And yes, they are different situations. If you ask someone to help with your computer, you can't sue them and prevent t ....


Comment preview: The farmer wants a divorce from his wife because she has been cheating on him. He is unfamiliar with the lawyer's language and misinterprets his questions. The lawyer is asking questions to learn about his situation in order to help him. 1. The lawyer is w ....
