Clients want to believe their lawyer is "representing my best interests."

But a lawyer is not your White Knight. A lawyer is in business to make money. Somebody has to pay for the Mercedes, and if you don't know what you're doing, it could be you. If you are in a lawsuit, or a divorce, the plaintiff or your ex-spouse could also end up with a lot more of your money than you imagined. If you are in business, lawyers can drain millions of dollars from your bottom line.

That's what this site is about. Getting results that help you, not "my lawyer did a lot of work." Getting your money's worth, not "my lawyer was really sympathetic." And, of course, about saving a lot of money - yours.

This site contains articles on common-sense ways to deal with lawyers, slash legal bills, and when possible find cheaper non-legal solutions to your problems. You'll find a complete listing at Articles and Information, including Quick Tips summaries giving "starter know-how" on a variety of legal subjects. You will also find links on the left for our publications Dancing with Lawyers and Fighting Slander.
