After starting my trial law practice in 1983, I became convinced that the ordinary person has a difficult time daling with litigation, including its unpredictability and expense. In 1999, I left the traditional practice and begand calling myself a "counselor at law" - offering affordable legal advice and making referrals to litigators when one was needed. In 2014, I have published a book called "Litigation - Insult to Injury: What Judges and Lawyers Know About the Legal System That You Don't," a book designed to educate consumers, lawyers, mediators, law students, mental health professionals, and experts on how to approach the legal system with an intelligent understanding of its operations. I am now offering CLE's and doing speaking engagements. I hope to help improve our legal system through this forum.

I wish my experience with Janet had been as good as everyone else posting here. Unfortunately, it was not. While she was fairly knowledgeable about my legal matter, she became quite irate when I requested an itemized invoice to submit to the court, and she wrote several emails chastising me for askin...
