EXAMINING THE LEGAL BILLING RATES

EXAMINING THE LEGAL BILLING RATES
BY: MART GIL ABARETA
every time you want to avail legal assistance,
your finances are also one of your biggest
CONSIDERATIONS. I'M SPEAKING HERE IN TERMS OF
legal billing rates. these rates really vary
based on the experience, prominence and
PREROGATIVE OF THE LAWYERS. LAWYER FEES DIFFER.
now, the big question is - are these fees
reasonable for clients like you? is it just
ENOUGH FOR THE LAWYERS?

an article entitled "guide to legal services
BILLING RATES" SAYS THAT MOST LAWYERS WILL TELL
you that the practice of law is a noble
profession dedicated to the pursuit of truth and
JUSTICE. BUT ANYONE LOOKING TO HIRE A LAWYER
must realize that practicing law is first of all
a business. as a result, lawyers in private
PRACTICE ARE GOING TO CHARGE WHAT THE MARKET
will bear in order to make a profit from their
services. understanding this and having a basic
KNOWLEDGE AS TO HOW LAWYERS' CHARGE FOR THEIR
services may help you to negotiate the best deal
when you need to hire one.

i must say that all of the payment arrangements
stated in the said article are not more than
ENOUGH. I THINK, THEY ARE JUST ENOUGH TO
compensate for the time and effort a lawyer will
spend in your case. these arrangements include
HOURLY RATES, FLAT FEES, RETAINERS AND
contingent fees. the lawyer has the opportunity
to choose the payment plan that you'll have.
HOWEVER, THE CLIENT CAN STILL OPEN UP HIS VIEWS
if he disagrees with the lawyers' offer. it's
still up to them to decide about the final
PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS.

in addition, there are certain factors impacting
LAWYERS' FEES SUCH AS ADVICE, OUTCOME, OVERHEAD,
experience, time and effort, difficulty of case,
prominence of lawyer, geographical location, and
PREFERRED CLIENT DISCOUNT. ALL OF THESE AFFECT
the choice that a lawyer makes regarding the
payment arrangement that the client has to
COMPLY WITH.

indeed, it's important to understand how these
FEES ARE BEING TREATED UNDER THE DIFFERENT
payment arrangements. the decision if what type
of payment best suits your paying capabilities
STILL DEPENDS ON A GOOD COMMUNICATION BETWEEN
you and your lawyer. it may be hard to
compensate for this high-paying job but then it
WILL BE YOUR REPUTATION THAT'S AT STAKE HERE.

generally, it's always better to fairly settle
EVERYTHING FIRST - ESPECIALLY IN TERMS OF LEGAL
billing rates - before commencing any legal
proceedings. through this, you'll certainly have
A SMOOTH-SAILING RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR ATTORNEY
towards the success of your case.

DIVORCE ONLINE SEVICE. WHY SHOULD WE LOSE MONEY

DIVORCE ONLINE SEVICE. WHY SHOULD WE LOSE MONEY
AND TIME APPLYING FOR DIVORCE?
by: james wood
attempts to use the worldwide web as an
EFFECTIVE MEANS OF STRUGGLE AGAINST BUREAUCRACY
are undertaken constantly and sometimes
successfully. today it is possible to fill in a
TAX DECLARATION, APPLY FOR BANKRUPTCY OR TO
receive a legal consultation. and lately there
are sites offering online divorce services.

it is usually easier to marry than to divorce,
especially if the spouses who wish to do so must
DIVIDE THEIR COMMON PROPERTY AS WELL.

divorce is extremely difficult business in rich
FAMILIES. FOR WEALTHY AMERICANS IN THIS CASE, IT
is accepted that the former husband or wife may
pay rather large sums of money for the divorce
PROCESS. IT IS NOT ENOUGH THAT THE DIVORCE IN
itself involves strong emotional stress, so they
also pay an extra thousand on top of the
$10-20,000 TO LAWYERS TO CARRY OUT THIS
occupation, and sometimes it is even more.

WHY SHOULD WE LOSE THE MONEY AND TIME APPLYING
for divorce, if there is the cheap and fast
alternative - divorce online. you find the site,
TAKE YOUR MOUSE, YOU PRESS ON THE BUTTON - AND
you are a divorced person. with a minimum of
formalities, as in las vegas, for the conclusion
OF A FAILED MARRIAGE APPEARS THE DIVORCE.

to terminate a marriage on site, a couple
WANTING TO APPLY FOR DIVORCE NEED ONLY A CREDIT
card and a computer with access to the internet.
the divorce case was finished within 30 minutes
AND COST $199.

people who hate discussing and relaying specific
INSTANCES IN DIALOGUES WITH LAWYERS USE THE
services of the site. in the virtual world of
divorce, the couple that does not require court,
AFTER INPUTTING ALL NECESSARY DATA FOR DIVORCE,
merely prints the forms, signs them, and sends
them to the judge. that is all.

the high cost of lawyers has not forced people
to refuse divorce. the deep reasons for divorce
LIE IN THE EMOTIONAL - SENSUAL SPHERE. THE MOST
painful and unpleasant situation is dialogue
with a third party hired to engage in and bear
YOUR PERSONAL PROBLEMS IN GENERAL DIVORCE
discussion.

THE FOUNDER AND HEAD OF A COMPANY LIKE
legalhelper.org that supplies online documents
for divorce disagrees with the opinion of
OPPONENTS THAT CHEAP DIVORCE CAN MINIMIZE THE
importance of divorce. it is true that the
divorce will cost them only $199 but this will
NOT PUSH THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE TO END
less-considered marriages faster and more often.
similarly, the high cost of lawyers has not
FORCED PEOPLE TO REFUSE DIVORCE. THE DEEP
reasons for divorce lie in the emotional -
sensual sphere. the most painful and unpleasant
SITUATION IS DIALOGUE WITH A THIRD PARTY HIRED
to engage in and bear your personal problems in
general discussion.

note that legalhelper.net provides an
easy-to-use, quick, and economical online method
FOR CREATING COMPLETED LEGAL FORMS FROM ITS SITE
for your uncontested divorce (either no-fault
divorce or fault divorce).

DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORKPLACE

DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORKPLACE
BY: MART GIL ABARETA
in today's age of globalization, workplace
discrimination is strictly forbidden by the laws
OF ALMOST EVERY STATE. HOWEVER, THERE ARE STILL
several companies that discriminate their
employees or usually their applicants because of
THEIR RACE, RELIGION OR SEXUAL PREFERENCE.
remember that it is improper and unlawful for an
employer to evaluate or fire an employee based
ON AN ILLEGAL ISSUE. AND IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE
rights of all employees, there are legislations
and measures that can help them if they're
EXPERIENCING DISCRIMINATION.

proving discrimination in the workplace can be a
CHALLENGING TASK. YOU MUST GATHER EVIDENCES THAT
you actually experienced discrimination from
your employer for unacceptable reasons. when
YOU'VE GATHERED SOME PROOFS ON YOUR CASE,
finding a lawyer in your area is the next thing
to do. basically, a legal specialist can help
YOU EVALUATE YOUR SITUATION IS YOU ARE ELIGIBLE
for a civil lawsuit.

ON THE PART OF THE EMPLOYER, YOU HAVE TO BE
aware of the anti-workplace discrimination laws
in your state so that you know how to answer all
THE ACCUSATIONS OF YOUR EMPLOYEE WHEN INVOLVED
in such situation. it might also be necessary
for you to consult an attorney so that you'll
UNDERSTAND IF YOU ARE REALLY AT FAULT AND IF HOW
you're going to answer your employee. always
make sure that you know how to justify the
LEGITIMACY OF YOUR DECISION TO FIRE YOUR
employee by gathering valid facts, too.

REGARDLESS IF YOU ARE THE ACCUSED OR THE
accuser, you'll probably need the assistance of
a legal expert to represent you. i know that
MOST OF US GO TO OUR RESPECTIVE JOBS FOR THE
foremost reason of earning a living to make our
lives better without actually knowing what
ANTI-DISCRIMINATION LAW IS ALL ABOUT. THIS ONLY
implies that it is important to give this law
even a single thought so that when we are
TRAPPED IN THE SAME SITUATION, WE KNOW WHAT
legal actions to take.

THEREFORE, IF YOU THINK THAT YOU, YOUR FRIEND,
or your loved ones have been treated unfairly in
the workplace, gather relevant facts first and
THEN DON'T THINK TWICE TO FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST
the employer. take note that anti-discrimination
laws exist to help these powerless employees
WHEN OPPRESSED. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR
voce will be heard by seeking legal advice from
a legal specialist and knowing what you're
ENTITLED FOR. THIS WILL SURELY START A BRIGHT
future for you and your family.

DEFENDING YOUR RELATIONSHIP

DEFENDING YOUR RELATIONSHIP
BY: JAMES WOOD
a power of attorney is a legal document that
allows you to dictate who you would like to make
DECISIONS ON YOUR BEHALF. WHILE THERE ARE MANY
useful purposes for a power of attorney, they
are especially important to unmarried couples,
WHICH LIVE TOGETHER, WHEN A PARTNER BECOMES
incapacitated and unable to make decisions. in
such situations, the law usually designates the
INCAPACITATED PERSON'S NEXT OF KIN AS THE
decision maker. with a power of attorney,
unmarried couples can give their partners the
POWER TO MAKE SUCH DECISIONS.

powers of attorney can be as general or specific
AS YOU DECIDE. YOU CAN GIVE YOUR PARTNER THE
power to make decisions on your behalf at any
time or only when you become incapacitated. you
CAN ALSO DICTATE WHAT TYPES OF DECISIONS YOU ARE
authorizing your agent to make. a health care
power of attorney (also referred to as a durable
POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR HEALTH CARE, MEDICAL POWER
of attorney, health care proxy and appointment
of health care agent of surrogate) would
AUTHORIZE YOUR PARTNER (OR OTHER AGENT) TO MAKE
decisions about your medical treatment and
dictate who you would like to be able to visit
YOU WHILE RECEIVING MEDICAL TREATMENT.

by executing a power of attorney for finances
(ALSO REFERRED TO AS A DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY
for finances) you could dictate whom you want to
make decisions about your legal and financial
MATTERS. YOU CAN BE VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT WHAT
actions you are authorizing your partner (or
other agent) to make, including which accounts
HE OR SHE HAS ACCESS TO AND THE TYPES OF
decisions he or she can make.

NOTE THAT LEGALHELPER
(http://www.legalhelper.net) provides an
easy-to-use, quick, and economical online method
FOR CREATING COMPLETED POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR ANY
occasions.

CHOOSING AN INJURY ATTORNEY

CHOOSING AN INJURY ATTORNEY
BY: JEFF LAKIE
the legal profession has a rich history rooted
in the english justice system. over the years,
THE TERMINOLOGY HAS BECOME MODIFIED AND THE
meanings have been muddled.

A LESSON ON THE COURTROOM

court rooms were made up of three sections. the
FIRST SECTION WAS RESERVED FOR THE LEGAL BENCH
where the judge sat. the third section was
reserved for the common folk who came to observe
THE PROCEEDINGS. IN THE MIDDLE SECTION WAS WHERE
people with familiarity of the law could stand.
they would be separate from the commoners and
COULD ADDRESS THE JUDGE. THESE THREE SECTIONS
were separated by two rails, known as "bars,"
from which we get the terminology of a barrister
OR THAT A LAWYER IS CALLED TO THE BAR.

for most people, the subtle differences in names
OF THOSE IN THE LEGAL PROFESSION DO NOT MATTER,
but is important to note that a barrister was
originally not an attorney, although many people
WILL REFER TO THEM AS THAT TODAY.

and the other guys

aside from barristers, historically the other
legal professional was a solicitor. the
SOLICITOR IS THE ONE WHO WAS AN ATTORNEY.
barristers could represent a client in court but
attorneys could appear in the place of a client.

add to that the words "lawyer," "counsel," and
"legal adviser," and you get a mishmash of terms
THAT HAS COME TO MEAN A LEGAL PROFESSIONAL.

if you find yourself in legal trouble or are
INVOLVED IN A LAWSUIT, YOU'LL PROBABLY NOT CARE
where the term attorney came from. however, it
is interesting to note the roots of our system
THAT STEMMED FROM TRADITION.

you will probably find lawyers, barristers,
SOLICITORS, AND ATTORNEYS IN THE YELLOW PAGES
all under the term "lawyer."

IT'S NOT SURPRISING THAT SUCH CONFUSING TITLES
and jargon comes out of the legal system!!!

BOATING ACCIDENT LAWYERS KNOW BEST

BOATING ACCIDENT LAWYERS KNOW BEST
BY: MART GIL ABARETA
if you or someone you know has been a victim of
a boating accident, you need an individual who
BASICALLY UNDERSTANDS WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH
especially when you are considering to file a
lawsuit against the person who is at fault of
THE INCIDENT. I AM REFERRING HERE TO A BOATING
accident lawyer who knows the legal implications
of your trial and who will be your greatest
SUPPORT ALONG THE PROCESS.

basically, you need an experienced and competent
BOATING ACCIDENT LAWYER TO BACK YOU UP IN YOUR
case. who would want a lousy lawyer? no one. and
so, if you're in this situation, you'll want an
ATTORNEY WHO HAS ALL THE IMPORTANT SET OF SKILLS
and a winning professional background. what
you're going through isn't easy so you really
NEED SOMEBODY TO SUPPORT YOU, ASIDE FROM YOUR
family and friends, in the persona of your
boating accident attorney. he'll be the one to
EVALUATE YOUR POSSIBILITY OF HAVING A CASE AND
the amount of compensation that you deserve.

THERE ARE LOTS OF BOATING ACCIDENT LAWYERS WHO
can be found wither online or locally. you can
ask your friends and co-workers for
RECOMMENDATIONS. ALSO, HAVE A LAWYER RECOMMEND A
boating accident attorney whom he knows too.
remember that a lawyer only recommends lawyers
WHOM THEY TRUST AND WHOM THEY BELIEVE IN. YOU
can also try online referral services where
previously-screened lawyers will be matched to
YOUR LAWYER REQUIREMENTS. THIS IS THE MOST
efficient way to locate a proficient legal
specialist.

boating accidents bring pain and suffering to
its victims especially to those people who have
LOST THEIR LOVED ONES FROM SUCH INCIDENTS.
therefore, it is really important to have
outstanding legal care to depend on so that you
CAN RECOVER FASTER. AND AS EXPECTED, YOUR LAWYER
will guide you all throughout the legal process
and towards a successful lawsuit. in addition,
AN EXPERIENCED LAWYER WILL ALWAYS PRIORITIZE
your case above anything else.

WHEN A BOATING ACCIDENT LAWYER HAS ALREADY BEEN
practicing this area of law for quite some time,
you can expect him to become a better
ESTABLISHER OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE. HE CAN ALREADY
view every angle of the situation and say what
legal actions to be given consideration. and as
A VICTIM, YOU ALSO NEED TO BE KNOWLEDGEABLE AND
confident on your lawyer that your case will
soon end up successfully. this is indeed a
BENEFIT ON THE PART OF THE VICTIMS OF THE
accident as you work together in your case.
