Has anyone actually achieved the average salary that is set by becoming a lawyer? -

If sounded confusing: Has anyone who became a lawyer ended up on a salary that is about 100,000 pounds a year or over? Thankkkss

All the 14 lawyers I work for, make well over this amount and then some. I have been a Paralegal for 19 yrs and I make good money, and am a Sr. Paralegal........ I alone make $11,000.00 per month.......plus if I have to travel out of state for a trial or to interview witnesses, I get 500.00 per day that I am away on the trip, plus they pay all my expenses.....so yes I would say its a great profession, if you get into the right law firm, I have been with this firm for 17 yrs.. the legal field is a great one to get into. go for it.......all of my attorneys top over 3 millon plus a year....each, some more....

I don t know what 100,000 pounds = in american dollars, but if you specialize here (personal injury) average salary is 30%-45% of the amount awarded to the client. My lawyer got $35,000 of my settlement. and he was a busy guy. Probably made about a million a year after expenses.

Do I need to get a lawyer for second degree trespassing? -

A few days ago I got a 2nd degree trespassing ticket for skateboarding at my local park in Wilmington, NC two days before it officially opened. The concrete workers that built the skatepark told me that it was supposed to open on Friday, the day that I got the ticket. There are no trespassing signs on the fence around it. I am 19 years old but was not arrested. The ticket the officer gave me says quot;without authorization entered on premises of another after being notified no to enter there by a notice posted not to enter the premises. NCGS 14-159.13quot; Should I represent myself, hire a lawyer, or get a court apointed lawyer? Thanks in advance for advice.

Get pictures now! (well, in daylight). If you mean there are not any signs saying quot;No Trespassingquot;, you need that proof. If there were signs, and you mean that you thought the construction workers gave you permission anyway, well... you have a problem. You might try to remember who you spoke to (or at least the name of the concrete company) to get some evidence. At 19, this probably doesn t mean a lot to you now - just a ticket, after all, fine and court costs worst case. However, this may also tail you for the rest of your life in answering questions like quot;have you ever been (arrested for, cited for, charged, indicted) convicted or pleaded no contest to...quot; from employers, schools, military, concealed weapon permit and other license applications, etc. This is what is called a collateral consequence. I recommend you hire a lawyer to represent you, or at least talk to a lawyer (in NC, of course) before you have to appear in court or pay a fine. The publice defender s office might help, but they are usually too busy dealing with felonies and quot;more seriousquot; issues to give you the time you need.

Does North Carolina have the death penality? If so you do. Just kidding! We are talking a pretty minor infraction. I am guess the max fine is a lot less than the cost of an attorney. Be very polite to the judge. Where some nice clothes. If you don t own a suit, you don t need to go out and buy one. But wear clean, non-holely clothes. Pants that doesn t show your underwear. Take the piercings out of your face, and return your hair color to a natural one. Don t wear a hat. (e.g. don t show up looking like a skateboarder) Be very polite to the judge. Applogize for what happened. Don t argue. Don t blame the construction workers or bad mouth the cop. Did I mention be very polite to the judge.

Don t mess around. Talk to a criminal defense attorney in NC. It will be worth a couple of hundred dollars to keep your record clean. http://www.targetlaw.com/pages/results.p...

Would you have given a lawyer money on jury duty? -

I had to go with the best docummented case. Unfortunately, it was the lawyers. He had more money to spare getting legal help. I felt pretty rotten with the verdict which I was a part of. Just because I was told by the judge to go with the evidence. Go figure, the lawyer could afford the most documented evidence. Sorry for this question, I am just trying to get over the lousy aftertaste the case left me with.

I am not sure your exact situation but I know its not your job to do anything other then what the judge says (interperating fact and then applying fact to legal principles) even if it turns to a crappy result... Dont feel bad about it its not your fault or your job to worry about why someone has the better side... You can only see what you see (and its this design that makes the system work)

You did exactly what the legal system required of you. Who cares that the guy was a lawyer and had better evidence? There are places where you can get free or cheap legal representation, even in Civil Law cases, which it sounds like this probably was. Both of them had the chance to get representation and obtain evidence, and if the lawyer s evidence was better, so what? What s with people always making stereotypes? Lawyers are not all bad and they are not all rich!

You did your job, which was make your decision based on the evidence. Maybe you could channel some of that angry energy into working on legal reforms for the poor. Just a thought.

That s just the way the system works. It isn t always right.

How do I raise a lawyer retainer in 24hrs? -

I need to raise money for an attorney s retainer. I need to do so today. I guess I need a credit card. Any info on how to get one that fast would be greatly appreciated. Please help, my ex is withholding my son until court. I thought we were both pro-se but got her cross motion from an attorney. Now I m short on time amp; cash.

Try the site below and save money. Watch the movie presentation. Hope this helps.

Many attorneys will accept credit cards (but not all). Others may work out payment plans - but for a retainer, ordinarily, you ll need to put up some cash.

The retainer is the deposit to cover the estimated fee for the lawyers time, and legal costs of the action. If you don t have the full amount of the retainer immediately, most lawyers will work out a payment plan with you.
