What do you bros do when low life friends keep fucking up and asking for free help?

I'm in biglaw, so I spend a ton of time just learning how to help with misdemeanor arrests and small claims court shit to get back security deposits. Its not the type of shit I do all day.

They're always like "ill buy you some whiskey" and shit like that, like cheap whiskey helps me hit my hours

Right now my move is to send them the law and some samples and be like "start here.". When they keep asking shit I send them the contact for legal aid. Inevitably they're back in a week though begging for more free time.

LOL WRONG

They want an answer bro. Not work.

Divorce: Give them the name of a lawyer who charges $10k

DUI: Give them the name of a lawyer who charges $10k

Criminal: Give them the name of a lawyer who charges $10k

Say your boss won't let you represent them. You're not gonna get these requests very often.

These guys don't have 10k. They don't have 1k. If I did that, they'd call me up 5 mins after the consultation with a bunch of questions.

I get it. I just don't think this suggestion works. They'd do the free consult with the 10k guy,realize they can't go with them,and then come back to bugging me.

I've stopped working for free for people. Tell that that you don't know what you're doing in that field. Send "RFI: Crim / Divorce / DWI Attorney" to the office and pass along any recs.

I prob should do this. Sometimes they say "ill pay" but no fucking way they can afford my $600/hr. I can't even afford to pay that.

Flame

How the fuck do you spend 50+ hrs on a misdemeanor case?

A fucking DUI with a blow + sobriety test wouldn't require this much prep time.

That was an example. Right now I'm going back and forth with a landlord. The landlord is a sack of shit, but my low life friend also fucked up their shit. We keep threatening a small claims suit, but at the end of the day,I don't have time for that. If we did do a suit it would be way over 50 hours. Right now its been like 2 hours research, 3 hours writing letters, 1 hour on phone calls and shit, Mayne another hour trying to talk to the friend about the shit.

Did you clear this representation with conflicts at your firm?

You're probably fine, but you could be fucking yourself over royally right now.

Another reason not to touch this shit. All you need is for some TTT attorney on the other side to send a letter to your managing partner or to ATL or something stupid. Very little good can come from this. Ask for recs, give them, be a sounding board, but otherwise stay out.

Yes, I do. I also don't send any letters on my letterhead. I have a solo friend send shit. For sure, I do this all wrong. It sucks because I want to be the friend that can help with shit but at the end of the day I'd rather just help faceless corps and go home

I spend like <1 hour on their shit. Normally I just call up the attorney they should be calling say I have a friend who might need their services and ask them what the normal process is for my friend and then I tell my friend to go ask the prosecutor for the deal the attorney suggests and then they get that deal.

Update: so I ended up just telling the dude the law so he could write some consumer complaint letter. He sent me the letter to look at, and I change a bunch of spelling errors and grammar errors. The dude writes me back after he looked at my changes and he says I misused apostrophes. The dude apparently doesn't understand how to show the possessive. E.g., he thought "Jim's ball" should be "Jims ball." WTF? Since I spend too much time on his shit as it is, this infuriated me.

It's flame that retarded jackoff friends ask for free legal services and have bad grammar? This is the most believable story on xo. It's also accurate.
