Don't Tell Anyone

Yes, I am an attorney.  No, I don't often write about it.  Yes, I have very strong opinions.  Yes, there's a very good chance that I'll kick your ass in a debate.

I do get annoyed at people who ask me for legal advice as if they deserve it.  It's almost like they think, "Hey!  I knew her back in the day, so clearly she can answer all my questions!"

I cannot.  I have a couple of specialities, which aren't making me as much money as I'd like, but hope springs eternal. 

Still, the questions I get are 1) so far out of my range of practice and 2) so clearly not winners.

No-one will take your case without money.  MONEY, people.  The practice of law is certainly a business.  You think I was giddy to be a quarter of a million of dollars in debt?

So, I will introduce a new rule:  You get two questions.  That's two, with a capital 2.

So, anyone need some help?
