Any Real Life Lawyers In The House?

No offense to anyone but I am looking for some advice from a certified and licensed attorney that I can bounce some questions off of before I go spend the money and hire one locally.

Let me know in the comments.

TIA.

  1. Phil!

    I am NOT a certified and licensed attorney. However, if none show up in your readers, I am a pretty decent backup to help you refine your questions to minimize billable hours.

    This is something that I have helped out with for a few decades whether it was business or individuals as I pursued a tech/financial career in companies from turnover of $100K/yr up to and including Fortune 500 companies.

    For you, I am “gratis” basis. The rest of the world pays north of $175/hr for my advising on “pre-law”.

    Things that I have done prior to a “real” attorney blessing the documents (and with only rare editing) that I prepared:

    – Promissory Notes and loan documents
    – Wills
    – LLC formation
    – Patent issues
    – Trademark issues
    – WADOR tax issues
    – Real estate transactions

    My chief virtue is telling a client flat out if I cannot help them.

    Just send a note to my email address as provided., if desired. (Trying to get the garden in so a slight delay is possible….hours, not days. My schedule is more flexible than yours though.)

    • Perfesser,
      Thank you for helping Phil gratis, sir. The Law nowadays is a giant Quagmire. And, I’m being gentle describing it, too!

    • Used to talk to John Jay quite a bit. We had some pretty interesting conversations.
      I didn’t know he started his blog back up. Hmm?

  2. friends:

    i no longer practice lawyer, and the washington state bar association prohibits me from doing so due to a “controversy” involving my failure/refusal to pay bar dues while i was on a requested leave from practice to problems with my ticker. (said leave was approved upon application duly made by me to the washington state supreme court …. no ethical or practice improprieties involved.)

    so, sorry, but no “informal” legal advice. and, as a matter of fact, i don’t think there is any such thing as “informal” or “hypothetical” legal advice, especially when fees of any kind are involved. so, hire a real lawyer, who is licensed and in good standing, for your legal advice. county bar referral services can get you in touch with such people.

    p.s. and, no, i don’t give legal advice over coffee at breakfast. w/ legal advice, you get what you deserve. and, you don’t get much for advice taken from unlicensed sources.

  3. Real attorney with a real attorney chair to sit in and answer questions. Hit me up…

    • Dang I appreciate it.
      I talked to someone earlier and I think I pretty much got what I was looking for.
      If you don’t mind I will keep you in mind if things go to shit any further though.
      Right now it looks like it isn’t nearly as bad as I was imagining.

      • D’OH!
        I didn’t know who I was talking to until I looked up your email address!

    • I wouldn’t say that too loud or often on here….I have a real attorney chair, I stole it from him, now he is chair-less.

  4. Actual attorney here, also. California bar, so I don’t know how much help I can provide, but happy to answer questions.

    • I appreciate it. I think I got what I was after but I will keep you in the back of my mind.
