There are many good lawyers. I've worked with loads of lawyers. They aim to bleed your resources as they assist you. In the future, there should be ratios of legal cost a person pays based on their own annual earnings. My aim is to make the value of people's time the highest priority. Someone is not working 40 hours for your 1 hour of desk sitting advice. It's cruelty.
Yea but the guy working 40 hours doesn't have 5 yachts to maintain.
Lawyers are among the slowest workers I know. Frankly, you have to do a lot of the leg work yourself. It is frustrating.
I know a guy who negotiates cell tower leases - the cell towers you see are on leased land and the company pays rent to the landowner, etc. If you don't know, what you don't know, the cell company can take major advantage - say, they will pay $300 a month vs. $1000 a month. This happens a lot to the "mom and pop" vs, corporate landlords. His business model is he takes a commission that he works out in advance. I then met a lawyer who draws up contracts for cell towers. I asked her if she knew him, thinking maybe they could work together. I didn't realize they were competitors until she sneered that he took a commission and I thought to myself "woman, you bill every 15 minutes of your time and it probably takes you 15 minutes to do that. At least I KNOW what he gets. I have NO idea what you do to earn several hundred dollars an hour."
