Never trust a lawyer.... EVER! - Page 4

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.

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.

No it wasn't as a matter of fact. It ended up costing me a little more because my legal insurance didn't pay him as much as he had originally thought.

I think you missed your calling.

What other choice does he have? If he says no to waiting until the 15th, then RG comes back and says "well then, I'll have to pay you later" and the lawyer is left hoping that someone who is so broke he had to claim bankruptcy will honor his next debt more than he's honored past debts.

I know WITHOUT QUESTION that the two lawyers involved are "milking it out" until the retainers are all burned up. I know when that happens, like magic, it will get resloved, fuggen cockroaches.

patteau and turnabroad are pretty cool guys too...

we have others on here, but they don't seem to make it as well known that they are lawyers...

well, except for jet eoh...

All you are doing is rationalizing a blatant lie.

he probably didn't write it...

does he have junior lawyers or paralegals in his firm?

it sounds awful when you put it like that, but most corporate lawyers (for big corporations) routinely charge a minimum hourly fee to talk to you, let alone read something and then talk to you...

what can i tell you? most lawyers suck, but then so do lot's of other people...

I forgot about patteau and guess I must have missed turnabroad, but you have always been alright in my book big chief.

I realize you don't like what I have to say, but the simple fact is you shouldn't have written a post dated check.

As someone that's dealt with the difficulty of collecting debts, I see the lawyer's side of it. Had it been me, I would have told you to write me a check when you actually had the money, and hoped that I would get paid eventually.

The simple fact is, you thought you could take out a 15 day line of credit with this guy. How often do you buy groceries and ask the store to hold a bad check for 15 days?

Maybe so. But if I felt I had to tell that lie to get paid by someone that chose to bail on a bunch of his past debtors, that's a pretty good rationalization in my mind.
