Legal Whores

About the Book

This book is a synopsis of the legal industry & basic "how to" for the individual that can’t afford an attorney. The "how to" advice is directed to the more mundane everyday type litigation w/c might confront a person on a daily basis. Forms & advice might vary a little with the specific jurisdiction & timely publishing of this manual but the premise & foundation remain the same.

As a whole, attorneys, lawyers, or judges are known by the connotation of LEGAL WHORES in this book. It is a deservedly appropriate title for this vocation. Before proceeding, please be advised that these are real, non-fiction accounts of what the legal fraternity does to extract money from the public. There literally are no limits/bounds as to what the judicial fraternity will do to acquire wealth in whatever form. Two of the main attributes used to extract money from his clients are the client's greed/emotions. The lawyer tells his client that they will win the case & the client will probably get a zillion dollars. The typical person in these United States, salivates at the prospect of getting unearned moneys from the sweat of someone else. This is easy prey for the attorney.

Then there is the emotional scenario where the client is involved in a situation that incurs his emotional wrath/confrontational issues involving neighbors, family, business. The attorney convinces his client that he can get the best of the opposition in court, therefore, let's get 'em! Whether the merits of the case warrant litigation/not is purely incidental to the attorney's desire to line his pockets with the client's cash. Most litigation requires little cost to the litigant for resolution via mediation, arbitration/limited litigation. However, this sort of resolution puts little money in the pockets of the legal fraternity. Use psychology & prey on the client's greed &/or emotional behavioral attributes to extract the maximum amount of fees from the clients for the attorney's efforts-as defined by the attorney

About the Author

The author was born in Brooklyn, New York in the late 1930's. The family matriculated to Chicago when he was about 7 years old via a several year sojourn in Mississippi. His father was from Madison, Alabama and his mother from Champaign, Illinois. His father literally worked himself to death at the age of 44 years. In fact both of his parents died at the age of 44 years. The author ended up in a Chicago orphanage while his only sister (no brothers) went to an aunt's care in Springfield, Illinois. The orphanage was just two blocks from skid row in Chicago. The stay at the orphanage was a real culture shock and learning experience for the author. At the age of ten, he ran away from the Chicago orphange to his father's sister's farm in Mississippi. The aunt treated him as one of her own. Following graduation from high school, the author attended college in Mississippi for two years and then joined the United States Marine Corps. Boot camp at Paris Island, South Carolina had a very profound effect on this young man. He stated that it was one of the best things that ever happened to him. His tour in the Marine Corps included such diversity as the Marine Corps Rifle Team, embassy duty, fleet recon, Viet Nam, Burma, Thailand, and the Philippines. After three years of military duty, he returned to college in Mississippi where he graduated with a degree in chemisty and subsequently, with his wife and new born son, began employment as a bench chemist in New Jersey with a large oil company. His next job was technical sales for a large corporation which entailed technical sales covering the southeast United States. This lasted for some 6 years of constant traveling. The author and his family ended up residing in central Florida in the latter 1960's or before Disney World. He left the chemistry discipline and his new vocations became real estate and politics. He became successful in both endeavors. So much so, that he and several of his cohorts were indicted by the local grand jury on alleged election law violations in the mid-seventies. At the same time a recession hit the country and he went broke. Instead of declaring bankruptcy, he worked three jobs in order to honor all of his debts which he successfully paid off within 4 years. Continuing his ventures in real estate and politics, he is now well seasoned and a hell of a lot smarter. He had numerous positions both corporate and enymoosiary in the community including President and Founder of the Association of Florida Bass Clubs and the Florida Bass Fisherman magazine, President of United Cerebral Palsy, Chairman of the Port Authority (appointed by the Governor), and airplane pilot (instrument rated in his own aircraft). Two months after his son graduated from medical school, the author was amicably divorced from his wife of 27 years. His dissolution of marriage action and the previous indictment by the grand jury were instrumental in his entering the legal discipline. The author earned a degree in legal studies and opened his own legal clinic. It is the experiences he witnessed within the legal community that generated his strong drive to write this book.
