Don't even have to visit face to face with a client. Can sit at home, surf the net and email 'em in your underwear. Next month's class, navigating the virtual court room. Tell it to the judge by clicking on the gavel.

Seems to me Geo. that several regular posters on this forum whom frequently make defaming statements about specific posters on this site with resect to their integrity and business dealings might have some reason to be concerned about their conduct...

Beats me. Ain't progress and technology wonderful! Who knew that using a snappy 'nom de net' was no protection at all of your identity when anyone with an IT department would like to make your acquaintance...Geo

Could be opportunity knocks? Is the net the new ambulance. Do you really need an IT dept or just a scary looking letterhead. Yes, we can process that settlement online. Next.

Craig, almost makes me wish I'd become a lawyer. Almost, but not quite. LOL

I knew this thread would turn into a lawyer bashing. Don't bother me none though; I'm just an elderly country lawyer in the twilight of a mediocre career anyway. I don't want a new specialty, I'd rather buy and research an interesting new/old gun.

My op was not meant to be threatening to anyone, but the knowledge that this stuff is out there really ought to give pause to those who don't realize that there is no anonymity on the internet. And that there are those who would like to capitalize on a new twist in litigation...Geo

George, in my opinion, everyone hates lawyers, except for the one that they use.

I love my lawyer. He has collected many, many, many thousands of dollars for me that I would have otherwise gone without. And he has protected my money from several rascals, scoundrels, and thieves that had hired lawyers. When I was a young man I drove 60,000 miles a year for my construction business and I also had a heavy foot. He kept the State of Texas from revoking my driving privilege. He got me title to an undivided interest in a farm I inherited from an executrix determined to beat me out of it. He saved my son from a difficult situation involving a Trans Am and a light pole and the police.

So Stewart is one of the finest human beings in the universe in my book.

But the rest of y'all are all rascals.

Naw, it's all in fun. You might pm nca though. Seems he has the makings of an enthusiastic clerk. You can spruce up the old cabin, no metal siding please, and he can do all the grunt work for your new venture.
