The simple truth is a lawyer knows the law and the tricks of the law better than the average joe. As they say, a defendant who acts as his own lawyer has a fool for a client.
Well I go to the casino and drop more than 75 bones, so maybe I'll try your advice next time. It is just another form of gambling isn't it?


Bed time, and I was bored tonight so it was nice sharing ideas with you.

Still holding to my original idea, I'd much rather be on the receiving end of the "revenue inducing coupon" than to have to be the cop that writes them.
