It's a couple of friends and it's not QUITE tallied up to a thousand... thus I say... "nearly".

...and yes. Lawyers are parasites, feeding on the misery of others. Larvae become adult insects just like many lawyers grow into politicians. It's tragic that lawyers don't starve to death; it's obscene that they (or at least most) live in shameless luxury.

*snicker*

Anyway, my 2 cents: the original post you made is pretty vague, and in most cases you will need to consider the viability of small claims courts so as to avoid some additional lawyer fees.

P.S.: My fiance is an attorney, and many people out there know friends or others that are interested in the legal profession and improving it through even becoming judges or politicians to make a positive change in things, so I would suggest minimizing sweeping statements as well, ESPECIALLY if you are looking for help in legal matters.

ok, ok... not ALL Lawyers are evil and nasty and slimy and eat small defenseless children for fun.
If only we could get rid of that pesky 90+% that give all the rest such a bad name. ;)

...and yes, I do generalize too much. >-.-<
...I REALLY gotta be more specific about... ummm... stuff.

Me? I've been looking for YOU!
...or trying to contact you anyhow; and here I thought you'd forgotten about me and I'd have to report you here or something. ;)

Kidding. You started on something and my address is blocked all over the place because of some spam spoofing, so I figured it was some annoying problem like that. You can get my contact info from my user profile or from http://www.acexcat.com

Thanks for the note and for following up! ^-^

Also, you couldn't pay a lawyer to touch that because it's not worth it to a lawyer. That's why we have small claims court, where you represent yourself with your own evidence and you're own witnesses. It's easier than it seems, and it doesn't cost all that much.
