There's a downside to being a deadbeat who won't pay his bills? Who knew? When Donald Trump hired his longtime lawyer pal Marc Kasowitz to represent him in the Russia case (if there is one, which there isn't, shut up), a lot of people wondered why Trump would go with a litigator whose main business was trying to intimidate people who pissed Trump off, like when he
Almost always got a tip delivering landscaping and masonry supplies to Lawn Guyland middle and working class folks, even if it was just a can of soda or two bucks for coffee. Things got dicey in the "classier" neighborhoods.
As another lawyer, I disagree. There are a lot of no-contest procedures (name changes, just to take one obvious example) where a literate person can use a resource like Nolo and save a thousand bucks. Sure, s/he will have to be willing to take on a new hobby for a while, and it will likely take longer than it would with an attorney (at least, a conscientious one), but MUCH cheaper. That said, getting into litigation as a pro se is almost always a bad idea. But for a non-contested matter, even something like a probate, a person with attention to detail can do it without a lawyer. Most people are not that person, in this day and age. But, even if I WEREN'T a lawyer, I would feel comfy doing some things via Nolo. (I'm maybe not representative either.) All of this does not apply to other, different, cookie-cutter paralegal-type firms. They can fuck you by inadvertence and/or ignorance, because they just don't care.
No, don't be silly. Individuals and families will linger for a century or two (well,not the same individuals).
We might, however, soon reach the point of no return. If not already.
The pie chart of the former may not be very determinate, but the pie chart of the latter is damn huge.
There's that nasty woman Hillary and Muslin thug Obummer and unhuman Liberal snowflakes. Trumpie so hurt.
Thanks! Jet is the reason I use theblackdog as my username.

If only they'd tell you that they were unethical douchebags up front.
In the old universe, there'd be almost no lawyer who could say no to a legitimate Billionaire In Trouble.
But we've crossed the Derp Horizon into the Trumpleverse, and no reality can escape anymore.
Also, he's a Thousandaire, at best.

Pissing up a rope in a strong wind is all they could come up with. tRumpCo is screwed. Teehee.
Great John Dean riff!
Trump smash! No need lawyer!
What about Trump U?
IKR. It's like wearing a "get me a beer bitch" t shirt to your divorce hearing presided over by a female judge.

It's too bad that Jacques "Terror Advocate" Vergès is dead because he would have been thrilled to be able to defend Trump.
