Yes a few weeks ago. I am getting a divorced.

Yes, and at $250 an hour it wasn't much fun.

No. I did one better. I married one.

+5 Yes. They know what they are doing and with out a lawyer on your side in court you are dead meat.

No,I have represented myself in court and won.I can do just as good a job,and not have to pay someone else to do the job most can do on their own.My brother has one and he tells me the lawyer has been useless.
-
Twice...two very unfun moments in my life....neither had anything to do with arrests but just let me at their necks for one minute is all....
-
Yep. To counter my ex wife's divorce filing and to get custody of my children.
-
Yes. Several times. Over the past 3 decades. What I do is to buy the law books and learn all that is there to learn about the legal aspects of the case I have. Then I engage a very junior lawyer who is just out of law college and has enrolled in the bar council. I sit with the lawyer and make him understand the case the way I studied it and bring him to my own conclusions as to how to proceed with the case. The junior lawyer costs me very little and the case is invariably won as I am working with the lawyer. Many of these junior lawyers I engaged 20 -30 years back have well established practices now. The benefit is that I can walk into their offices anytime without an appointment.
-
Yep...a couple of time. :)
-
Yes.
-
Yes, several times. Win or lose, it's never a good experience, only a matter of lessor evils and a major expense. :(
-
Yes, a few times. Lost some, won some.
-
Yes. Once for an accident suit and the other for worker's compensation back injury on the job. Most lawyers charge a fee if they recover any monies and that fee increases if case has to go to court. It was stressful but end result was worth it.

I have hired an attorney for my own bankrupcy, I hired an attorney for my Divorce in IL, I have hired an attorney to help me get my back child support. I am now a paralegal and know more about the IL laws and that information is very valuable. What others do not know can be learned by getting a degree in the Paralegal area. It is amazing what I have learned.
