- NEW!
Yes.
Nope, not yet.
Yes I have.
Yes, several of them. And if you are considering hiring one, I would HIGHLY recommend picking one who specializes in the field you're about to get into. Don't use a general attorney who dabbles in many areas.
yeah when i divorced your mom OOHHHHHHH
Yep.
:):)

Yes, being in business you need to. We call them Solicitors over here.......don't ask!

My in-laws hired one for us to speed up our naturalization process, to obtain US citizenship - that was in 1984.

Yes. They know what they are doing and with out a lawyer on your side in court you are dead meat.
by OldCW wears The COAT of the Cosmos on July 30th, 2009
Yes, and at $250 an hour it wasn't much fun.
by Cruiser on July 30th, 2009
Twice...two very unfun moments in my life....neither had anything to do with arrests but just let me at their necks for one minute is all....
by jin jang on July 30th, 2009
No,I have represented myself in court and won.I can do just as good a job,and not have to pay someone else to do the job most can do on their own.My brother has one and he tells me the lawyer has been useless.

by Patrick4024 on July 30th, 2009
I did for a divorce. The best thing the ex and I did was fire the lawyers and go to a paralegal service.
by TERRYTUKER on July 30th, 2009
no
by Frankster PartyMaestro Of Sillyville on July 30th, 2009

I needed a lawyer, but lucky for me - my mum is a lawyer, so that worked out just fine.
by Tel UK- Licensed to fish! on July 31st, 2009
Yes, being in business you do require their services on occassions....
by LoggyBren on July 30th, 2009

by Lights Squared on July 30th, 2009

by Merfish on July 30th, 2009
Yes, a few times.
by -Icy- on July 30th, 2009
of course is that not life ?
by Shatzee coming back? on July 30th, 2009
yes..
by Carl_07 on July 30th, 2009
Yes, a few times.
by rosie on July 30th, 2009
Yes. Once for an accident suit and the other for worker's compensation back injury on the job. Most lawyers charge a fee if they recover any monies and that fee increases if case has to go to court. It was stressful but end result was worth it.
by Dodgy Dog in a Sable COAT on July 30th, 2009
Yes, a few times. Lost some, won some.
by Ice man on July 30th, 2009
Yes, several times. Win or lose, it's never a good experience, only a matter of lessor evils and a major expense. :(
by laser on July 30th, 2009
Yes.
by j ninja... on July 30th, 2009
Yep...a couple of time. :)
by Suby the Coat on July 30th, 2009
Yes. Several times. Over the past 3 decades.
What I do is to buy the law books and learn all that is there to learn about the legal aspects of the case I have.
Then I engage a very junior lawyer who is just out of law college and has enrolled in the bar council.
I sit with the lawyer and make him understand the case the way I studied it and bring him to my own conclusions as to how to proceed with the case.
The junior lawyer costs me very little and the case is invariably won as I am working with the lawyer.
Many of these junior lawyers I engaged 20 -30 years back have well established practices now.
The benefit is that I can walk into their offices anytime without an appointment.
by Jen-Jen on July 30th, 2009
Nope, mine worked for free.
by Frozen Crow on August 28th, 2009
many times in my short life
by DudeLer 2 on August 22nd, 2009
yes, i have to hire an attorney. it is my first time...who can I trust?
by avidblogger09 on August 20th, 2009
I have hired an attorney for my own bankrupcy, I hired an attorney for my Divorce in IL, I have hired an attorney to help me get my back child support. I am now a paralegal and know more about the IL laws and that information is very valuable. What others do not know can be learned by getting a degree in the Paralegal area. It is amazing what I have learned.
by --- moOoOon --- on August 17th, 2009

by xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on August 15th, 2009
