A Friend of mine is a Personal Injury Attorney in Chicago

I have a friend in Chicago that is a personal injury attorney. This guy is absolutely crazy. He is the type of guy that when you meet him, the first thing you think of is "he's an attorney". He is a guy you can hang out with on Friday night and get completely plastered and then not remember what happened the next day. His girlfriend/wife is cute until she opens her mouth and then she is missing some teeth.

His law practice is going absolutely gang busters. I think that many people that are intimidated by your average lawyer actually like this guy because they feel more comfortable with him. He does wear a suit every day, but usually with boots instead of dress shoes that he likes to keep propped up on his desk. His hair is long and some what disheveled.

There are usually a couple of Harley's parked out front of his law office in downtown Chicago. I would love him to represent me if I was a guilty criminal, but I do not know if he would be my number one choice of an attorney if I needed a personal injury attorney.

Are Mesothelioma Attorneys taking advantage?

Are Mesothelioma Attorneys taking advantage?

Right now I am researching the disease of Mesothelioma. I have seen many television ads reaching out for people that may have been exposed to asbestos. I am always suspicious when I see television ads promoting anything because most of the time they are just out to make money.

I do know one thing, the more you see a television ad, the better the ad is doing. Therefore if we keep seeeing ad after ad on Mesothelioma then you know that the advertising is working. If the advertising is working, then there must be quite a few people that think they have Mesothelioma or know they have it. May be they think they were exposed to asbestos and worry that they might get Mesothelioma.

The attorneys that are advertising are definitely ambulance chasers. They are trying to drum up business anywhere that they can find it. These kind of cases really bog down our justice system and hurt real victims that have been injured. Hopefully, the court will only allow the cases where their is actually a presence of Mesothelioma and it was proved in a court of law that the defendants negligence caused the illness.

Asbestos has been outlawed for a number of years, I can't imagine that there would be that many people that have Mesothelioma. That being said, I will keep you updated on what I find out about these Mesothelioma attorneys.

Should I hire a DUI Attorney?

Should I hire a DUI Attorney?

Should I hire a DUI attorney or should I just follow the court orders? If you are satisfied with the courts decisions which can vary depending upon how high your blood alcohol level was and your driving. Many times, your license will be revoked for a minimum of 30 days and then the revokation may be extended after you go to court. The court usually requires a drunk driving class and a certain number of hours in jail or community service.

Even if you hire an attorney, you will still have to do most of the things that the judge imposes. However, if you spend a little money on an attorney, may be $500-$1,500, you then will not have to go into court. Your attorney will go in for you. Your attorney will let you know what the standard punishment will be. You can ask your attorney to ask for a lower sentence. It never hurts to ask. He may be able to get your license back sooner or your community service shortened or waved. It is definitely worth a try.

If you have a good job and are needed by a company or your family, you may be able to have your attorney argue that you are better off driving for your job than having your license suspended.

I highly recommend hiring an attorney for all court experiences, especially criminal cases and dui cases need an attorney.

When To Hire A Criminal Attorney

When should you hire a criminal attorney?

Number one is "as soon as the police want to talk to you". If a crime has been committed and you or one of your family members is in close proximity to the crime, you should refuse to answer even the most basic questions. Remember the police are not trying to find the truth, they are trying a find a suspect. Don't let it be you.

You should also protect the other members of your household especially children. Children should not ever speak to the police.

Your attorney can pass along all of the pertinent information that the police need and yet protect your rights. The police are not looking out for the rights of the people they interrogate. As a matter of fact they can purposely mislead you, lie to you and trick you into saying things. They will then twist the things you say into a new meaning. They can also lie to others, so that person comes to you with information that they feel is the truth (because they heard it from the police).

Hire a criminal attorney immediately before making any statements, allowing the police in your home or giving them any thing they request.
