Never trust a lawyer.... EVER! - Page 7

R&GHomer · 08-31-2005, 10:04 AM

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'm not a lawyer, but have had many friends go that route and it does seem to be a "carrot on a stick" profession where you tough it out in hopes of cashing in years down the line. At most firms here in Chicago, starting lawyers make pretty good money, but most of them also have fairly large student loans to pay off, so in essence they're living almost paycheck to paycheck for a couple years getting school debts paid off.

And if you're not lucky enough to hook on with one of the large firms, you may end up doing something shitty like being a public defender to make ends meet. No thanks, I'll stick to the accounting profession.

Instant Karma, just like all those creditors didn't think you were going to take their money. I want to shake your lawyer's hand and give him a pat on the back.

I can't believe you are bitching about anything to do with your $. How about this, I am the one that has to pay your bills for you bundle of sticks. Unemployed for 6 months, you lazy *****. Get your ass to work! I don't give a chit about your wife or any other BS surrounding your "situation". You can't pay your bills if your sorry ass isn't bringing home a paycheck. I tell you what, I'll pay your rent for you if I can come down there and kick you square in the nuts for sucking on the teat of people that work their asses off like me. If would be worth it, at least I would actually get something in return for paying off your debts.

If you want to dispute any of the above, you will need to lay out all monthly expenses: credit cards, loans, car payments, everything. What money did you have coming on the 15th? Unemployment check? Tell me how many applications have you filled out in the last six months? How much money did you have saved when you had your "700" credit score. I bet you were in way over your head before your ass got canned.

Please justify for us all. I guarantee many members are thinking the same thing I am, I just happen to have the balls to call you out on it.

Right. People who go to average (or worse) law schools, finish in the bottom half of the class, and have 4 years of undergrad + 3 years of law school loans are really, really f**ked, on average. It's going to take them years to dig out from $100K+ of student loans, on a salary that probably won't even be six figures for many, many years, if ever.

Who do you think is going to end up paying your bills? People that WORK and pay taxes. That is why I want to know why I am paying your bills.

**** you piss ant. I served my country for six years and a War defending pricks like you. Went 12 + years in the IT world through countless downsizing before I finally got laid off. You talk about Karma.... coming right back at ya a-hole.

Free History Lesson: You haven't defended anyone in the US, unless it was WWII or Afghanistan.

Please answer some questions in my original post, I am paying your bills after all.

What the hell? Who pissed in your Cornflakes today?

COchief · 08-31-2005, 04:28 PM

No one, I believe in personal responsibility, and owning up to your mistakes. Neither of which has anything to do with bankruptcy.

M-Kay, so you are saying that there is never a legitimate excuse to file a BK?

COchief · 08-31-2005, 04:32 PM

There is, which is why I was asking. Obviously in this case it is not legitimate, otherwise I am sure R&G would have laid it out already.
