Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 14th, 2013 9:52 PM Author: Mind-boggling Gunner I made nice website.
I did a little networking.
I did some internet advertising (like less than $200 a month)
Now literally am around 10 solid lawsuits either filed or in the process of filing.
Has not even been 6 months.
This shit is pretty sweet.
And I'm my own boss. I wake the fuck up whenever I want. I work whenever the fuck I want. I make 100% of the decisions, doing shit that even a BIGLAW service partner wouldn't get to make.
This is not bad. |

Date: May 14th, 2013 9:55 PM Author: bright unhinged home So you haven't made 1 fucking dollar off any of these lawsuits (or yet to be filed suits), is that the gist of your poast?
You have yet to PAY for an expert to testify let alone review the medical docs (assuming you do MedMal).
Nor have you had to pay for the necessary deposition.
What about the actually EXPENSES of running an office while working on contingency? |
|

Date: May 14th, 2013 9:54 PM Author: Salmon Roast Beef Crackhouse its easy to get clients. good ones ? i dunno. have you made payroll ? managed to get into the black and stay there ? if so, youre ok.
|
|
Date: May 14th, 2013 9:55 PM Author: Mind-boggling Gunner LOL what is made payroll? I am solo. I am my own payroll.
I work on contingency so it will be a few more months before my first cases start possibly producing money so we'll see then but so far this shit has gone like 100 times better than I expected.
I haven't gotten a 100% grandslam case but have 4-5 now that I really believe are above average at the very least and then a few shit ones that still probably will pay at least something in the end. |
|
Date: May 14th, 2013 10:00 PM Author: Salmon Roast Beef Crackhouse made payroll = have you paid yourself yet at your market rate in your area. black = have you gotten more out of the business than you put in.
the answer to both is no. you dont have your own practice yet. you are in the red. you have not made payroll.
will you ? i dunno.
|
|
Date: May 14th, 2013 10:01 PM Author: Mind-boggling Gunner lol shit head. ur a loser and beta idiot if u think after just a few months the expectation is to pay urself at market.. it takes a while to establish urself but the fact ive made anymoney and have had no problem getting lots of clients if fucking amazing
lol ur a beta shit faggot typical american redneck piece of nigga shit... go kill urself cause obviously u are too beta to do anything meaningful in ur pathetic life other than suck KIKE dick at a job u hate for shitwages.. maybe u shld learn to take control of ur life instead of being the man's bitch |
|

|
Date: May 14th, 2013 10:18 PM Author: Salmon Roast Beef Crackhouse well assuming its not completely flame he hasnt seen a judgement yet and doesnt know how difficult it is to actually collect on it. contingency is the worst form of payment to collect on and unless you have a laser like focus on the judgement, collections and cashflow side of things youre fucked. i still dont do contingency cases. maybe in another 10 yrs i will once i can handle it. had one of my mentors (30+ yrs practicing law) show me how it works in practice and its scary as fuck.

Date: May 14th, 2013 10:29 PM Author: Salmon Roast Beef Crackhouse liens are a pain in the arse. mechanics lien (my favourite) works but its a huge pain to serve process considering the d's in a civil suit make themselves scarce asap after judgements come down.

Date: May 14th, 2013 10:37 PM Author: Mind-boggling Gunner Yeah u faggot cause i spent 5 years in BIGLAW rep F500 companies u faggot and they always paid up once we settled.. cant remmeber a single time where they reneged cause they knew the consequences (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2256273&forum_id=2#23200560) |
|
Date: May 14th, 2013 10:53 PM Author: bateful up-to-no-good round eye they really aren't. your state probably has a specific attorneys' lien statute; you should read it. you should definitely incorporate a lien provision into your retainer. if you give the required notice, that's pretty much all you need to do to perfect it. then you can collect from the opposing party.
and you REALLY should assert one if your client has other creditors, or else they'll be able to satisfy their debts before you do. you really should look at your state's statute. a lot of them let attorneys get paid before a prior perfected security interest. |

|
Date: May 14th, 2013 10:57 PM Author: bateful up-to-no-good round eye there is no reason not to claim a charging lien in any type of litigation. my biglaw firm did as a matter of course. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2256273&forum_id=2#23200729) |
|
Date: May 14th, 2013 10:58 PM Author: Mind-boggling Gunner this makes little sense to me unless im worried abt the client bailing mid litigation and then me not getting anything of any recovery...
fuck BIGLAW shit.. they are rapists |
|
Date: May 14th, 2013 11:03 PM Author: bateful up-to-no-good round eye you put it in your retainer and then file notice with either the opposing party or the court. it's not a hassle at all. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2256273&forum_id=2#23200774) |
|
Date: May 14th, 2013 11:38 PM Author: big pink messiness what state do you live in where notice is required? notice is usually given just as a practical matter so no one gives your money away. it's not even required to perfect an attorneys' lien (at least in my state). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2256273&forum_id=2#23201046) |
|
Date: May 15th, 2013 3:31 PM Author: bateful up-to-no-good round eye lots of states require notice, especially if the subject matter of the litigation is an interest in real or personal property rather than money
and if you don't give notice you can't hold the opposing party liable |

|
Date: May 14th, 2013 10:23 PM Author: Mind-boggling Gunner This is the sucky shit abt solo but u just have to look at it as though u paid that since owrking in a firm too, u just didnt see it
And there are so many benefits of deducting shit as a solo or putting a mass payment into an IRA that it makes up for dat shit |

|
Date: May 14th, 2013 10:27 PM Author: charismatic sound barrier he has to pay himself a "reasonable salary," on which he will end up paying employer/employee payroll taxes (adding up to the self employment tax rate). He will also end up paying about $300/yr in state/fed unemployment taxes as an s-corp.
he can take the rest as dividends and pay NO payroll or self employment tax on that money. the average s-corp pays about 40% as salary and 60% as dividends
also, expenses/deductions get much less IRS scrutiny on s-corp returns than they do when reported by an individual on schedule C, so he can be more aggressive in knocking his income down. |
