Why is it a response of lawyers, when they hear about abusive, corrupt acts of government officials, to advise those harmed by the corrupt government officials to hire a lawyer?
Some things should be dealt with as a crime, not as a lawsuit. Or don’t lawyers care, especially if it generates fees they can collect from those harmed by the corruption.?
And do they really think that such lawsuits would accomplish much in a locality where corruption is widespread, even accepted as part of the culture? How many of the local judges could be trusted in such a situation?
Are there any lawyers out there who practice bankruptcy who could tell me how difficult it would be to start a solo bankruptcy practice and how I might go about doing this. First, is this the kind of think that I could figure out with form books and software or should I work in a firm first? Also, could I mainly do Chapter 7′s or do I really need to do all kinds to stay afloat? Any helpful info by experienced bankruptcy lawyers would be greatly appreciated! I’m licensed in Mississippi if that helps.
Can they be punished in any other way?
Consider this situation: The company asks an employee to do something which might have legal repercussions. Employee asks the company lawyer for indemnification; or confirmation that this is a direct order; or just plain clarification of the legal issues involved. The Company lawyer responds: "don’t worry about a thing — if there is any trouble, my job is to protect you — no one will ever place the blame on you to protect the company."
In other words, corporate lawyers lie to employees, intentionally giving them bad legal advice in order to advantage their actual client, which is the company, not the employee.
How is this not illegal?
What should the employee say in response to such a claim?
