Subject: Attorney referral

Meeting your attorney in person is important, but hardly the main or only reason to choose your attorney. Why? These are attorneys! They have paid a lot of their own money to go to school to learn how to manipulate information, people, and situations for their own benefit. They have dedicated their entire lives to deceiving others for their own personal gain while you pay them to do it. The longer you suffer, the more money the divorce/custody, & litigation lawyers make. PI's typically take the quicker easier settlement vs going to trial, but it's more than you'd get w/out them. Not all attorney's are this way. My step-father is a PI & did what attorneys should & can do. He's retired. A personal referral from one of your own friends or at least three of the attorney's former clients is vital. You should makes sure the clients they give you are not attorneys or married to attorneys. If they try to give you client referrals like that, it's clear they have something to hide.
