Date: July 21st, 2014 3:46 PM Author: Cruel-hearted sneaky criminal What do you bros do when low life friends keep fucking up and asking for free help?
I'm in biglaw, so I spend a ton of time just learning how to help with misdemeanor arrests and small claims court shit to get back security deposits. Its not the type of shit I do all day.
They're always like "ill buy you some whiskey" and shit like that, like cheap whiskey helps me hit my hours |

Date: July 21st, 2014 4:37 PM Author: Cruel-hearted sneaky criminal Right now my move is to send them the law and some samples and be like "start here.". When they keep asking shit I send them the contact for legal aid. Inevitably they're back in a week though begging for more free time.

They want an answer bro. Not work.
Divorce: Give them the name of a lawyer who charges $10k
DUI: Give them the name of a lawyer who charges $10k
Criminal: Give them the name of a lawyer who charges $10k
Say your boss won't let you represent them. You're not gonna get these requests very often. |

Date: July 21st, 2014 4:59 PM Author: Cruel-hearted sneaky criminal These guys don't have 10k. They don't have 1k. If I did that, they'd call me up 5 mins after the consultation with a bunch of questions. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2624503&forum_id=2#25976132) |

Date: July 21st, 2014 7:02 PM Author: Cruel-hearted sneaky criminal I get it. I just don't think this suggestion works. They'd do the free consult with the 10k guy,realize they can't go with them,and then come back to bugging me. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2624503&forum_id=2#25976968) |
Date: July 21st, 2014 4:36 PM Author: Vivacious tanning salon people who are hurt I've stopped working for free for people. Tell that that you don't know what you're doing in that field. Send "RFI: Crim / Divorce / DWI Attorney" to the office and pass along any recs. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2624503&forum_id=2#25975889) |

Date: July 21st, 2014 4:39 PM Author: Cruel-hearted sneaky criminal I prob should do this. Sometimes they say "ill pay" but no fucking way they can afford my $600/hr. I can't even afford to pay that. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2624503&forum_id=2#25975907) |

How the fuck do you spend 50+ hrs on a misdemeanor case?
A fucking DUI with a blow + sobriety test wouldn't require this much prep time. |

Date: July 21st, 2014 4:40 PM Author: Cruel-hearted sneaky criminal That was an example. Right now I'm going back and forth with a landlord. The landlord is a sack of shit, but my low life friend also fucked up their shit. We keep threatening a small claims suit, but at the end of the day,I don't have time for that. If we did do a suit it would be way over 50 hours. Right now its been like 2 hours research, 3 hours writing letters, 1 hour on phone calls and shit, Mayne another hour trying to talk to the friend about the shit.

Date: July 21st, 2014 4:44 PM Author: bright misanthropic mental disorder athletic conference Did you clear this representation with conflicts at your firm?
You're probably fine, but you could be fucking yourself over royally right now. |

Date: July 21st, 2014 4:47 PM Author: Vivacious tanning salon people who are hurt Another reason not to touch this shit. All you need is for some TTT attorney on the other side to send a letter to your managing partner or to ATL or something stupid. Very little good can come from this. Ask for recs, give them, be a sounding board, but otherwise stay out. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2624503&forum_id=2#25975979) |

Date: July 21st, 2014 4:59 PM Author: Cruel-hearted sneaky criminal Yes, I do. I also don't send any letters on my letterhead. I have a solo friend send shit. For sure, I do this all wrong. It sucks because I want to be the friend that can help with shit but at the end of the day I'd rather just help faceless corps and go home (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2624503&forum_id=2#25976124) |

Date: July 21st, 2014 4:41 PM Author: bright misanthropic mental disorder athletic conference I spend like <1 hour on their shit. Normally I just call up the attorney they should be calling say I have a friend who might need their services and ask them what the normal process is for my friend and then I tell my friend to go ask the prosecutor for the deal the attorney suggests and then they get that deal.

Date: July 23rd, 2014 2:37 AM Author: Cruel-hearted sneaky criminal Update: so I ended up just telling the dude the law so he could write some consumer complaint letter. He sent me the letter to look at, and I change a bunch of spelling errors and grammar errors. The dude writes me back after he looked at my changes and he says I misused apostrophes. The dude apparently doesn't understand how to show the possessive. E.g., he thought "Jim's ball" should be "Jims ball." WTF? Since I spend too much time on his shit as it is, this infuriated me.
