Legal advice

So then it comes down to like timing, right? Once before, once after.

So but why does timing, disclosure and independent legal advice matter so much when creating an enforceable agreement? All right.

So let's talk

about those three things separately.

So one evening he tired them out asking questions about different things that were topics of conversation, and the next morning he received a bill from every last one of them, four from five to twenty-five dollars, for advice, with a request to please remit.

he is a man that does not know the first principles of a joke and when he got the batch of bills from lawyers he was mad in a minute and took them to his regular lawyer and spread them out and said do i have to pay these bills the lawyer looked them over carefully without a smile having already been seen by the other lawyers and told of the joke and said why i suppose so they seem to be all regular enough here is one charging ten dollars in dreyfus case and one for fifteen dollars for opinion in plankenton bank case did you ask these lawyers for legal advice in those celebrated cases and his lawyer looked at him over his spectacles inquiringly

naw

said the man who asks questions i never asked for any paid advice we were talking over these cases and i asked a solemn-looking duck what his opinion was as to the guilt or innocence of dreyfus and he hummed and hogged and talked about the evidence in the case and said he had read every word of evidence and he finally said he thought dreyfus was guilty I knew a confounded sight better, and gave my opinion that he was innocent, and showed why.

I tell you, it is an

outrage, ain't it?' "'Well, not necessarily,' said the lawyer, drumming on the table with his fingers and pursing up his mouth.

the lawyer no doubt took it that you were interested in those cases and he no doubt took the testimony and weighed it carefully and balanced the evidence carefully in his mind and gave you his opinion believing it would be valuable to you what is this charge in this other bill for an opinion on the rampo water combine are you interested in that new york swindle not on your life said the man who asks questions we were talking about tammany and the prospects of the organization coming out and supporting brian i had no interest in it but it was the day croker was interviewed and i asked a young irish lawyer if he didn't think the fellows in new york had gone into that rampo water company with a view of swindling the city out of twenty millions and after consulting with another dove on the subject he came to me and said that he was ready to hand down an opinion that mr platt and mr croker were actuated solely with the desire to better the condition of the people of new york in their water supply and that they had never thought of the possibility of making a dollar out of it and here he has charged me twelve dollars for that advice and ten dollars for advice as to whether there would or would not be a war between england and the transvaal i only ask that question to find out what he thought about the prospect of war very likely said the lawyer as he put his feet up on his desk and locked his fingers together across his stomach but you understand a lawyer to be ready to give opinions off-hand on all questions has got to study up all the time it seems to me these charges if they are proper are exceedingly reasonable but what is this charge in this other bill ten dollars for advice in regard to pants i can't see how that can properly come into a bill for legal advice just like the whole blamed business said the talking man there were a whole lot of us talking about everything when i felt as though my trousers were too short at the bottom and i asked that smooth-faced lawyer with bushy hair and a white hat says i look at the bottom of my pants and see if you don't think they are too short and he put on his glasses and looked and had me walk by him and finally he said he wasn't up on the stiles and was not much of a tailor but he would jump at a conclusion without looking up the authorities and give me his opinion that the pants ought to be let out a couple of holes on my suspenders And by mighty, he has charged me ten dollars for handing down that opinion.

He might as well charge a woman for legal advice when she asks him if her hat is on straight.

Eight.

Legal Advice.

It's nutty, but not what I call top-hole straight.

Mr. McAndrew, I am consulting you professionally, so I must ask you to use the King's English.

A mad woman would not be afraid to remain being ignorant of the heinousness of the offense." Morgan shook his head, still unconvinced.

And indeed, Gerald saw that things looked very black indeed against the girl he loved.

It was on the tip of his tongue to denounce Geary as the owner of the knife, but he could not prove this without the evidence of Mavis, and moreover, he thought it wiser to keep silent as to his suspicions until he consulted McAndrew and could get legal advice.

The situation was too dangerous to be dealt with hurriedly.

With more than a decade of experience representing clients in complex immigration matters, Rosanna regularly helps individuals understand how criminal arrests and convictions can affect their immigration status, and what options may still be available.

I'm Sean O'Connor, and today we're gonna talk about how a criminal arrest can impact an immigration test, and, uh, and why getting the right legal guidance early can make a, uh, huge difference.

Hi, Rosanna.

Hi, Sean.

So they're really the prerequisites for getting a divorce in Ireland.

And do couples have to seek legal advice if going down the road of divorce? So we see lots of ads now for DIY divorce.

Yeah,

that reminds me of people asking me years ago, you know, do you need a solicitor to buy a house or to sell a house or whatever? Do you need an auctioneer to sell a house? And I'd often say, do you need a mechanic to service your car? You might be able to manage it yourself, but if you break down halfway through the next journey, then maybe you should have gone to a mechanic.
