yeah my uncle... used to be a cop.. then turned criminal lawyer... was never in the office, ripped off clients.. took trips to Italy often to play golf... among several other things....

alcoholic.... marital problems... I like the guy.. he's my uncle and at that, he's decent...

He's good at his job -- when he shows up and works... otherwise.. one to avoid...

Frid:

Did you pay him a retainer? If so did it go into his trust fund? You should have been given some sort of receipt for that telling you where the money was going.

Did you sign a contract and did the contract say "for limited appearance at arraignment" or did it say "for representation"?

If you have a problem -- contact your local county Bar Association -- there number is always listed.

Good luck

Apparently, people have been having problems with sketchy lawyers since the 16th Century, at the very least.

With all due respect, that line from Shakespeare is always taken out of context.

The folks at the Oklahoma State Bar published this not to long ago:


SHAKESPEARE AND LAWYERS: THE REST OF THE STORY

“Let’s kill all the lawyers.”

Lay people and comics like to use this gag line in many different venues. Yet, more often than not, those quotes are made without a basic understanding of the context or meaning of the quote. It’s kinda like selectively quoting biblical scripture. For instance, by selectively piecing quotes together, we can find biblical authority for committing suicide, e.g. “and Judas went out and hanged himself;.”.. “and Jesus said, go ye and do likewise.” So, for just a few minutes, let me play Paul Harvey and discuss
the rest of the story.

As we review Shakespeare’s Henry VI, part 2, we find at this juncture in the story Jack Cade’s rebellion was picking up steam. Dick, the butcher, was a member of this rebellion.

As Dick utters the famous words “first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers,” he was referring to ways that the rebellion might be successful. They recognized that to succeed, they must get rid of those who knew and enforced a system of laws. They did not want any learned and informed opposition to the rebellion they had planned against the government. This makes sense.

If you are tempted to create anarchy through rebellion, the first objectives will be to get rid of legal process, individual rights, and the truth... <snip>

So for all the bad lawyers out there remember there are all the Public Defenders, the ACLU attorneys, and lots of other good folks liek the lobbyists for pot legalization.

Peace.

Sometimes, things can be over-explained... Especially when the thing being explained was supposed to be humorous.
