I just had a conversation with a very successful real estate developer who told me two stories about lawyers; they are both worth passing on. In the first he mentioned that he had just received a bill from an attorney for sending a letter to a tenant who had not paid their last month’s rent. My friend said that the letter was less than a full page and the bill was for $1500. He decided this was excessive and took the bill to the attorney (his office was in the same building) and asked what was behind the charge.
The attorney went on to explain that he had to do some involved research and then there was the time I took to get the letter exactly correct and the secretary’s time to do the task and then file the appropriate back-up if further work were required.
My friend, said the lawyer made it sound routine and that the amount was really too small to question. He almost implied that the time spent discussing the cost was almost an affront.
My friend said he then told the attorney, “I’ll pay this bill but you’ll never get another piece of work from me.”

My whole life I was teased by friends and relatives that I was just a waste. Sitting on the couch, staring at the tv screen, playing video games. It started with Nintendo, then Super Nintendo, then Play Station, then Playstation 2, and now Playstation 3 and Xbox as well. So what's changed in all these years of playing video games? Well, now I'm playing on my 50 inch plasma that was bought FROM playing vide

Gold metal detectors are used to find small and large gold nuggets. Small and slightly small gold nuggets can be detected at medium depths. Large gold nuggets are the most difficult to search and locate. Gold metal detectors have ground balance modes for alkali soils and black sands for smooth operation. The maximum sensitivity of a gold detector helps to locate small gold bits at greater depths. It can operat

As the Internet continues to grow and produce large amounts of traffic the need for data centers and data center management increases. This continued growth creates data center jobs and IT careers in the technology field. Data Centers not only provide large hubs for Internet traffic, but it also completes the network infrastructure of most mid-large size companies. Data centers usually house thousands of co

C’mon, don’t tell me you’ve never pretended to be one of those. It’s really safe to come out of the closet now. Even my friend’s boss has publicly declared it. You know you’re a YouTube addict and so is everybody else. Everybody with a broadband connection that is. What’d you think I was referring to? YouTube, the video-sharing site that everybody just can’t seem to get enough of is a true web phenomenon. A p

His second story involved a lease negotiation. It seems my friend had paid an attorney (not the same one) to prepare a very thorough lease which he could use as a master lease with tenants for his various properties. In the course of events he used the lease with a new prospective tenant and got a reply from the tenant which contained such comments as: “My lawyer said that such-and-such was excessive, and that this-and-that was probably not enforceable and should be stricken for clarity sake.’ There were more comments of the same type.
The lease, with a number of strikeovers and new clauses was attached… so was the lawyer’s letter.
As my friend was going through the changes he began reading the letter from the lawyer. He noticed that it was the same lawyer he had used to create the master lease.
My friend called him and asked him what was going on. “Well I’m not representing you now. And I do know where that lease has potential problems. So if you don’t want me to take the other side of a negotiation and you don’t want me to handle the actual use of the lease, then just put me on a monthly retainer.”
My friend feels as though the lawyers have taken way too much control over the businessperson’s life. (I do too.) He points out that laws, which are created by lawyers, are behind all of the documents created by lawyers; generate the disputes which are argued by la
