A Lawyer Should Work For You Not Themself

[Point Of No ReturnParticipant 4074]

If you feel that your lawyer is more concerned about how they are being perceived by other jurists than about what they are doing to protect you, then ask yourself some tough questions.

I had to leave my property. The deed has my name on it and I was forced to leave my property to her for her enjoyment. I don’t know what awaits me after the divorce process. But I’m doing my best to treat this ordeal as psychological warfare. I must try not to be affected. I must think straight and plan to outwit the enemy. I’m putting a lot of effort into finding a solution that will be advantageous to me. It’s an uphill battle for a man, in many cases a losing battle even. I owe it to valour to face this head on though. One MGTOW here, I believe his handle is Stencil, he managed. He outwitted his wife. I will attempt to outwit mine in my own way using my own strategies. I lead this war, I think of my lawyer as a general, someone who has experience on the battlefield, but also someone who looks a battlefield from a detached perspective in order to make the best decisions. The lawyer is someone I should be able to demand options from, but in the end I am Commander-in-Chief, I will question the general if I feel a need to. I will accept his opinion as being the most experienced, but in the end I will make the final decision. I will give the order.

Knowing how c~~~s strategize, I outwitted mine as well. The best way to do this is to be the first to inform family and friends you were duped. When women can’t control the information flow of what an asshole and abuser you are, they lose a lot of their power immediately. As far as the legal battle goes, its a roulette wheel and you have to pray the marble doesn’t stop on a mangina or white knight judge. That about sums it up.

It cost me 800 dollars for a guy to tell me that I am screwed. Than another threat that I must pay him after 20 min of speaking. Due mind this is my introduction (when i get around to wright it /i am guessing it could be 1500 words and I mite just send it to keymaster for his advice). That time was the start all that which lead me here. Interesting I found myself stuck like that – betrayal at the highest account (and due mind ended badly and am still dealing with a record today). Anyways I do find there are some lawyers who care, but don’t think you’ll find one like on the T.V shows. Take it from me if you spend more than 1/8 of your life in school – most don’t have a hidden passion to stand up for the weak. Money can get you out of any crime. I hope one day to proven wrong- “to see it for myself” haah! Hey respects to you guys with legal training ! I know it anit easy. My bad experience with a lawyer is as it stands and I know you saints are out there. I would just like one time in my life to see justice not the “best deal” or “this is all you got”.

I was told that the only difference between a lawyer and a hooker is that the hooker stops screwing you after you are dead.

Did you hear the one about the pygmy that was going around the jungle eating elephant droppings? He had just eaten a divorce lawyer and was trying to get the taste out of his mouth.

As a former attorney, I can verify that lawyers only exist to shake down the last dime from your pocket by billing you as many hours as possible, pure and simple. A lot of legal advice and information can be found out online if you do the research. Your attorney’s interest is to bill you more hours by pretending to do work for you, he/she does not really care about your best interest.

I see it as my duty to find out what it is that my lawyer is planning. In my case, I could see at one point that there was an attempt to ‘prolong’ things. Now, I would never get the advice from the lawyer as to how I could quicken up the pace. But by researching I found some options and also ways to get a ‘let’s-go-here-and-get-the-ball-rolling option forced onto my lawyer’s plate. I know I would not be able to actually execute some of the little legal acrobatics that can go on between lawyers during a working out of an agreement. That’s fine, that’s their job, that’s what they do best. The thing is knowing that you, the client, are in control (sometimes) and that you, the client, are responsible for finding out what the short cuts are and what the options are to force your lawyer to speed things up if possible. A passive approach to dealing with a lawyer is costly. I would even go as far as saying that having two lawyers may actually be better (and cheaper in the end) than having one if you can afford it. Because then you can get one lawyer to be the watchdog over the other’s progress. Just make sure they both dine in different clubs at least.

You can do some of it yourself, at least I could at the time (1980), state, and county I was in.

Here’s what I did, to the best I can remember.

The law stated that you had to be legally separated for 1 year before you could get divorced. A co-worker had been divorced about 3 times and graciously allowed me to look at all of his paperwork. I pieced together a document/petition to file for legal separation. I resided in a different county from my ex, so I wrote the petition from her point of view to be sent to me. I gave it to her and she filed it at the court house in her county. The constable from that county came to my work and served me with my own paper. There was a court date to appear. I simply did not show up at court, but my ex did. She was granted the legal separation and the 1 year clock began. Cost, about $30 filing fee.

Very good example, thanks for sharing YZF.
