If You Were My Attorney
I would like you to picture yourself as a partner in one of the most
prestigious law firms in our state. Your law firm holds the highest rating
according to Martindale Hubbel, which ranks all the law firms throughout
America, you hold the same rating as F. Lee Bailey and Johnny Cochran. You
are seated in a very plush office, mahogany wood paneling, four piece crown
molding, large desk, and a very comfortable chair.
I come to you as a long time friend and ask you to handle some of the legal
situations for my whole family, which includes my wife, and two teenage
daughters that drive. Now, I know a law firm of your caliber charges $200 -
$350 / hour, but since we are friends, I would like to work out an
arrangement. I cannot afford $200 / hour for your services so I would like
to work out a monthly retainer for a number of issues that would be covered
at no charge as long as I am pay you this monthly retainer.
I would like this retainer to cover me in all of the states. If you have to
refer me to another law firm in another state, I would like you to pay that
law firm out of this monthly arrangement that we work out.
First, I want you to set up a toll free number that we can call you on your
dime about any legal matters, personal or business during normal business
hours. And since your law firm has several lawyers and they differ in
specialties, I would like to talk to only those lawyers in your firm that
specialize in that particular field that I am asking about. In other words,
I do not want to discuss a tax question with a divorce lawyer and I do not
want to discuss a divorce situation with a tax attorney.
Plus, when it would help to have a letter written or a phone call made on
our behalf, I want you to do that for me as many times as the need arises,
it could be that I need a letter written to get back a security deposit that
a landlord will not give back. It could be the drycleaners ruined my nicest
suit and will not pay for the damages. Whatever it is, I want you to write
these letters for us, and start adding this up on a monthly retainer.
Also, prior to signing any contract or document, I want you to review it.
Because I know that old saying, the bold print giveth and the fine print
taketh away has came true for me in the past and now I want you to protect
me from the legal jargon that I do not understand.
I would also like your best estate attorney to draft my Will. Then each year
I would like it reviewed and updated at no charge. Now I understand that
drafting a will can cost $500 or more, but I want you to just add the will
in this monthly arrangement.
I will also need you to handle all moving traffic violations for me or my
family. If we get a speeding ticket, run a stop sign, or are involved in an
accident that is our fault, I want you to represent us to keep the points
off of our license to keep our insurance rates from increasing. If this
situation happens in another state, I want you to hire an attorney from that
state and pay them out of our monthly retainer. I want you to do this an
unlimited number of times, once a year or 3 times a day. I also want you to
represent me if the IRS ever decides to audit me.
Just keep adding this up on a monthly retainer.
If we are ever involved in an accident and anyone in my family is charged
with vehicular manslaughter, or negligent homicide, I would like you to
represent us from the time we are charged until the verdict is read out of
this monthly retainer. I could not afford the tens of thousands of dollars
it would cost just to have a good lawyer represent us, and auto insurance
has nothing to do with you when it comes to these criminal charges.
Keep adding this up on our monthly retainer.
Also I would like you to give us a toll free number where we can reach you
24 hours a day in case we are ever questioned or detained by the police
where we may need you right away to protect our rights. Now what would your
law firm charge me and my family for these services covering us all across
the country on a monthly retainer? (I have had responses as much as $400.00
per month)
Well, since I can't afford your $200/hr or the monthly fee that you just
told me, and since we are such good friends, let's work out another deal if
you don't mind. I buy a cup of coffee everyday at the 7-11 down the street
before going to work, so instead, I am going to buy 2 cups ever day, and
give you a cup of coffee every day in exchange for these services for me and
my family. Do we have a deal?
