LAWYER "ETHICS"

My  Esteemed Colleague

Ha, I know what you are saying, that's an OXYMORON!!! I don't disagree. Many lawyers are out and out right crooks. Most of the others put their own interests above those of their clients, use their clients to enhance their own self-importance and rape them with unscrupulous fees. Others screw their clients because they really don't know any better as they are participants in a system that is out of control, and they have never been exposed to the inner-workings of a "real" business.  To put it succinctly and in the nomenclature of our times, LAWYERS SUCK!  By the way, I am a lawyer.

The things I see in the legal arena boggle the mind. Basic "right and wrong" are subordinate to legalisms such that lawyers can perpetuate controversy and animosity in order to make  more money. The waste, inefficiency and lost productivity are an enormous tax on honest people and their business interests.

A 27 year old kid, who has never done anything but study and play club league lacrosse passes the Bar and goes to work for the "big law firm." There the "kid" who has never run a business or met a payroll is told to BILL, BILL, BILL. Yet, there is absolutely no correlation between acceptable value and the costs of the services. The "kid" never learns how to treat  legal issues in a business, problem solving manner,  because he is disincentivized  to do so from the start of his career. As many people don't have a choice but to hire a lawyer, the whole process becomes nothing more than legalized extortion. It is sad and disgraceful.

However, there is some good news. There are some honest, competent "good guy" lawyers who have a conscience and  are available to help you and your business. At Chartwell, we can help you manage your legal work.  We have run businesses AND practiced law. We generally don't like lawyers either.  For very modest fees, we can evaluate your needs and either perform  your work or place it with our syndicate of approved and vetted attorneys. We stay on top of them and manage them and you get better services at reduced costs.  A win win. As we earn your trust by helping you save money on legal fees, we hope that you will consider us to help you in other areas.

Should you have a legal problem that you would like to discuss or have us evaluate, please contact me at rsmith@chartwellcapital.net.
