875 - Lawyers Aren't Repairmen

Most people think you only call a lawyer to fix legal problems. Lawyers will tell you that everyone hates a lawyer until they need one.


Few people can afford to pay a lawyer $200-$800 or more per hour, much less a retainer of $5000-$10,000.


A lawyer once told me that, in his opinion, most people can find $5000 when they need it. Of course, that's the kind of lawyer most of us don't want to meet.


Instead, we try to do everything ourselves until something goes wrong. Then we complain because:


💰 the lawyer is too expensive


☎ doesn't call back


❌ isn't doing what they said they would do


The whole point of my work lies in ensuring people have access to their rights so fewer bad things happen. We help prevent the pitfalls life and business can bring.


Lawyers should be: Affordable, Responsive, and held Accountable.


✅ Our mission is to make attorneys accessible, responsive, and accountable to everyone, so the legal process is no longer intimidating or costly.


What if you could pick up the phone knowing that you'll usually get a callback on the same day, not have to wait weeks or wonder if a call back will come?


Have contracts and documents looked over BEFORE you sign them. Yes, we even review pre-existing documents at no cost.


You should be able to have collection letters written knowing that the lawyer will not demand any percent of the amount collected.


❤️ One of my clients had his law firm write a letter to a company that was no longer responding to his demands for payment.


Ten days after his lawyer wrote a demand letter, he received a letter of apology for the "misunderstanding" and a check for $7000 covering the amount owed to him.


Not only was the letter covered as part of his membership, his lawyer did not collect a percentage of the amount received.


Having a law firm to back you in life and in business is powerful.


My biggest hurdle is that people don't know we are here. Then some come to me with an existing issue that could have been avoided if a lawyer had been involved much earlier.


Did you know that even lawyers use lawyers?
