.......very rarely seem to be "In it" for YOUR best interest. Like most everyone else, they seem to be all about the money.

Sabado law offices. They’ve helped me and my brother out quite a bit. Nothing is cheap though

Why else would you go to work in the morning?

I do it because I love what I do. For me, the money is secondary. Believe me because I will never get rich doing what I do. I'm sure attorneys feel the same way that I do. But attorneys don't get labelled "Ambulance chasers" for no good reason.

I'm one of those "crook, ambulance chaser, shady" people.

But I can at least point you in the right direction and give you a few websites to check reviews of each attorney or law firm.

Oh and you're always free to figure it out on your own :D

Don't hate the lawyer, (no I'm not one), hate the system that allows them to act the way they do and work to change it!

Best, Best & Krieger are probably one of the biggest, based in Riverside, but have office all over Southern California.

They do a lot of government agency representation and contract city manager work, I don’t know if they do workman’s comp, but they probably have someone who does about everything.

Workmans comp is a real specialty, so you need to get an expert if you want to win.....general practice lawyers often wont touch it.

2 lions are walking through the jungle

The second lion starts licking the ass of the first lion

The first lion turns around quickly and says WTF are you doing?

The second lion says...

I just ate a lawyer and I’m trying to get the taste out of my mouth.

:)

I work a lot with doctors - they love that one.

I was just thinking about asking if you guys wanted me to post a link to my blog post every month. You know, just some legal information that could potentially help business owners.

Now I think I'll stick to posting them on Linkedin :rolleyes:

BBK would most likely be on the other side. Know many partners there out of Ontario and Riverside on their Corporate side.

Parasites. Produce and create nothing but more laws, paperwork and retarded legalese speak to benefit themselves and the broke dick system AKA, Maritime Admiralty Law. Sometimes a necessary evil unfortunately, because we exist within the broke dick system they created. Just my opinion though. Good luck.

Yes, our legal system is the worst in the world.
Except every other legal system.

Yore free to move about the world.

Please

I would love to see your blog. My grandfather was an attorney, my uncle is an attorney and my mom was an attorney. Well, actually my mom graduated from UT law, passed the bar and never practiced a day in her life.

I am just a helicopter bum...

My most recent post is some basic information on forming a corp or LLC. My prior posts are more for potential merchant services clients (fairly niche) but are still topics that an everyday consumer would run across.

I'm going to focus my next few on general business/contract topics. Suggestions are always welcome :)

Also, I'd rather fly a helicopter than practice law.

Two lawyers were stranded on a deserted island when a beautiful unconscious naked blond suddenly washes ashore. After the two lawyers pull her naked body further up the beach they each sit on either side of her and ponder for a few minutes when one of the lawyers speaks up and says "should we screw her?". The other lawyer quickly replies "out of what!?".

They are damn expensive and it adds up fast. Learning this now.

Better make sure you know what you are getting into. Cause it’s 10k before you can blink and it just goes up from there.

If it weren't for lawyers and insurance, we wouldnt need lawyers and insurance.




There are some good eggs out there if you're up for an easter egg hunt.

I have not had anyone say that before. Thank you.

Almost all of my business comes in on a referral basis so my site doesn't get too many hits. Usually the blog links I post drive the most traffic.

Fixed it. Thanks again.

I think a lot of people don’t think it through when retaining council.
They usually are panicked and think the lawyer is going to guide them through the trouble they are in and make it all better, or that a lawyer will argue their position on a judgment successfully just by showing up.

“My lawyer didn’t do anything!”...heard that a lot over the years. Well...yeah, there was nothing to really do.
Unless your facing a criminal trial what most people really need is legal advice, not a retained lawyer.

A lawyers advice and 2 hours work got my moms car back in a landmark case in AK that challenged the city’s new forfeiture law years back.
A lawyers advice halted strong arm threats of child visitation refusal with my ex.
A lawyers advice has helped me many times. Like when a simple letterhead got me the $7K an employer owed me in breach of hire contract.
BUT ...when I got my only DUI 20+ years ago I didn’t waste a dime on an attorney.
Lawyers get a bad rap and lord knows they’ve earned it.
But when you need one you need one.
When you don’t you don’t.
Know the difference.

You can pay an attorney to keep you out of trouble or pay an attorney to get you out of trouble.
First one is always cheaper.
