1. If you are going to call names know your facts. An attorney who gets your ass out of jail and beats the rap is doubtfully sleazy.
2. ANY person who has something valuable to them to lose should always have an attorney on retainer. Know any Fortune 500 company that does NOT have a team of lawyers on payroll? Do you think that someone who gets arrested and makes 300k a year spends the night in jail? No. They do not. I have physically seen a 3 am call for someone brought in for dwi and 45 mins later the lawyer was not only there but had him walking out the front door.
3. I find it HIGHLY laughable when people quote the law with no experiance or training. Attorneys go through 4 years of college plus several more after I believe and have to pass a bar exam. Police ( in every state except Alabama and that is changing) must go through an academy and pass a state licensing exam. The difficulty varies from state to state, but it is harder than any college final.
4. Stand up attorneys... Are you referencing the prosecutors who fabricate or withhold evidence from defense lawyers for convictions (as has happened repeatedly ALL over the US), the defense lawyers who have gotten murderers of children off on technicalities ( agaon as happened ALL over the US), or the rest who represent people in other criminal/civil matters?
Lawyers have a job, just like the police and just like you providers. There are different aspects those jobs and its not the same everyday. Some days the lawyer has to get a landlord his back money owed him. The next he is defending a dwi. The next he may be getting a single dad custody. The very same day he may be getting my soliciting misdemeanor dismissed.
One day the police officer may be writing you a traffic ticket. The next he is answering a domestic because your hubby is high and beating your ass and 30 minutes later he is holding his partner who took 3 bullets for him as he dies in his arms.
One day my favorite provider may be relieving my stress BCD because i just lost a large contract because of employees piss poor service. The next she may be going to Trans Siberian Orchestra with me because I work so damn much I dont have time for a relationship.
Crap. Lost track of my rant. I hate typing on my smart phone. I cant scroll easy on it. Oh yes. The point is the jobs for all 3 are varied and change. Lawyers dont like being called sleazy, cops dont like being called unprofessional, and i am sure providers do not like to be called whores.
so.....GET a lawyer who knows what he is doing. Its insurance to protect you. As far as advertising to ths masses? Sj never asked anyone to retain him. He simply offered an opinion on the OPs predicament.
I personally made the decision to put ShysterJon on retainer 2 days ago because I know IF something happens (and I do have some training in law) that the only thing that willl save me from a life altering conviction is a damn good attorney. Whether its my rentals, my vending service, or my licensing at the oil company.
Why would I listen to someone with who uses a tv show for bad examples and quotes penal code without any training with my livelihood over an attorney with 30+yrs of experiance?
Btw. If everything i see on tv is real, I want those buns of steel and my ginsu to stay sharp after cutting through a bunch of cans.
