Why Are We Doing This?

That’s a really good question. Well, to be totally honest, it’s because law is so damn confusing and I’ve gotten stung more than once for being unprepared and uneducated.  I totally appreciate how it got to be that way and the complexities and intricacies that evolved. I guess that’s why lawyers get paid so much. Should it really cost $1000 for some guy wearing a fancy suit to enter a “not guilty” plea in traffic court? The everyday person (me and you), shouldn’t have to deal in the minutiae (and costs!) of law when dealing with everyday situations. In the end, you just need to be educated and prepared enough to limit your risk and know when to scream uncle … err, I should say, call your lawyer.

My buddy LawHound and I will attempt to distill all the lawyering speak down to just what you need to know to know what to do next. Whether you’re interested in filing for a patent, understanding your rights when your neighbor’s tree falls into your yard, divorcing your high school boyfriend, or writing up a lease for your new rental property (the one you couldn’t sell because the housing market sucks), stay tuned!
