Different Types of Attorneys Will Be Bad in Completely Different Ways

I did some alignment switching in my earlier career.

My desperate internal monologue was going “It’s Latin for ‘have the body’! It’s Latin for ‘have the body’! It’s part of the name of that coastal town in Texas! It’s part of the name of that coastal town in Texas!”

Don't Lie To Your Attorney, Because You're Paying Them to Lie for You

The discussions about how to pick an attorney had me thinking about the one, single, piece of advice I would tell every person to remember when talking to their attorney. And the advice is very simple. DON’T LIE TO YOUR ATTORNEY. Lying is your attorney’s job. Ahem. Seriously, though. Subject...

I just need to file that Corpus Christi petition before the deadline.
