Hey, next time you are facing jail time, let me decide for you what your best options are, K?

Do we have a deal?



If you are a large and respected firm that handles plea bargains with a cookie cutter template for 90% cheaper than the cost of a private attorney, sure, we have a deal.


WOW. Enjoy your cellmate dude. The jails are full of guys who think like you.

Cookie cutter plea bargain. YIKES!

Just plead guilty. It's cheaper!


I was going on the assumption that I was guilty ;)

Being falsely accused of a crime and incorporating are not analogous. I agree that for some things paying an expensive lawyer is worth it. Incorporating is not one of them.


CORRECT.

So maybe not all tangles with the law are equivalent in their need for specialized outside expertise, eh? Maybe it makes sense to think about it and maybe discuss with an actual attorney before you leap, eh? Maybe more than a few.


"maybe discuss with an actual attorney before you leap, eh? "

Never ask a barber if you need a haircut.


"Never ask a barber if you need a haircut."

That's a pointless response to an on-point comment.


You know what every lawyer in the history of the World ever said to the question 'do I need the services of an attorney to help me with this?'

'Yes' usually followed by the amount of the retainer they'll need.

Your lawyer seems to have done great work selling you and I admire that. And you've now done a wonderful job of destroying your credibility, so others are unlikely to take your opinion seriously. My work here is done. Have a nice day!


My experience has been wildly different. I've had attorneys tell me more than once that something I needed done wasn't worth hiring an attorney to do.

SO... get some time on the pond before you go planting a flag and declaring victory.

Q.E.D.
