Never trust a lawyer.... EVER! - Page 3

Dirty C**k biters. I had a finale court hearing on Friday, and gave the lawyer a post dated check for Sept 15th to cover the last part of the legal fee's. Son a biatch agreed to cash it on the 15th and then turned around and cashed it that same fuggin afternoon.

Azz bandit just fugged me on my rent and several other bills that I can't pay now until the 9th.

I understand hating lawyers as a matter of principle, but at the same time I must offer a word of defense. As another person in the "information business" I occasionally get calls from people who are asking my advice. I'll try to help, but at the same time it's hard for me to share information for free when that's how I earn my living. People don't realize that when they ask for an hour of my time, that's an hour where I don't get a paycheck. I'm sure that lawyers have it much worse than a firm like mine, since we get very little business "off the street."

I had a one-person marketing firm a while back that called me up, and asked about hiring me for focus groups. We held two meetings, about five hours of my time, and she pumped me for every detail about how we approach focus groups. Thinking she was thorough, I explained to her how we do things and why. Then she decided not to hire my firm, and I found out later that she did the work herself using my firm's systems and even one of our subcontractors, (and did a bad job on it, too, according to the subcontractor). She had the audacity a month or two later to call up and try to ask me more questions, and she went straight to voice mail limbo.

That sounds like soemthing that maybe should be reported to the board of bar overseers or whatever its called in your jurisdiction, to launch an investigation.

I don't know anything about you. You may be someone who's situation was unavoidable, or you may be someone who's made their own bed. That's of no consequence to my point.

I was simply implying that there is probably a fair percentage of people that claim bankruptcy that are doing it because they were financially irresponsible. If they are willing to bail out on their debt to their creditors, why wouldn't they be willing to bail on their debt to their lawyer? This guy has probably received his fair share of bad checks from bankruptcy clients.

Besides that, if the arrangement was that he was due payment upon completion of his services, he's well within his right to cash that check that same day. Being a business owner that gets stiffed for lengthy periods of time on occasion, I can certainly see his side of it.

R&G,

I'm sorry to hear what you have to go through, man. I know it's tough, but just keep your head up, and try to stay positive man. I know it's hard, but just stay positive. Something will work out the best for you sometime.

But he agreed to hold that check until the 15th.
In doing so, and then turning around and cashing it that same day, he lied.

But because he may have been stiffed before, lying is ok, right?

What.. Am I speaking Swahili or something? The agreement was, I would write him a post dated check for the 15th and he would cash it on the 15th.

Your point is moot. They agreed upon something and the lawyer broke that agreement. If the lawyer was concerned about getting stiffed, he should never have made the agreement in the first place.

Was the original agreement that he gets paid on completion of his services? If so, then you backed out of that arrangement. How would that be different than him backing out of the next?

Personally, I think he never should have agreed to that, but he probably figured it was the only way he could insure getting that check in his hand.
