Might need a lawyer

Once had a client where we did a major transaction (selling his business). After all was said and done, he called me and wanted me to call his bank to dispute a wire transfer fee they had charged him.

I politely explained that I would be happy to do that, but the wire transfer fee was less than what one-tenth of an hour (my smallest time increment for charging clients) of my time would cost him. He paused, thought about it for a second, and said he would call them. I laughingly told him I wouldn't charge him for THIS call, and he chuckled, said thanks, and went on his way.

Now pick up the ****ing phone before you make the same dumb mistake that guy wanted to make.

My experience is that people who say they need a lawyer have never actually hired one before. They don’t work for free, and they charge you whether you win or lose the case. I utilize lawyers all the time for my business. If I could get around doing it, you bet your ass I would.
