E.g., Your neighbor/client wants to start a business, he asks you to incorporate him. Then he needs you to help negotiate a lease for some office space. Then he needs his will updated. Then he wants to refinance the mortgage on his house, and he wants you to review the HUD. Then his 17-year old son gets arrested for drug possession, and he calls you. Etc. etc. etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1929150&forum_id=2#20521500) |

The REAL THREAT to solos/small firms are pro se litigants/defendants who just say, "Fuck it" and go it alone.
So many divorce/family law cases are handled pro se now. |
