Don’t Be Your Own Divorce Lawyer….. #1

...on the premise that people in rural West Virginia cannot afford to pay for legal services. Instead, they are encouraged to “do-it-yourself” or to get help from “understaffed”, “underfunded”, and a nearly overwhelmed, WV Legal Aid, or “pro bono publico” volunteerism.

...rdian ad litem (lawyer appointed to represent an infant or person under a “legal disability”), the clerk of the court, and, in juvenile abuse and neglect cases, “child protective services”.

From Burt 8. Baron is right on, BUT, again, our small town accounting firm feels more comfortable with Quickbooks Pro. I don’t like its reports.

...run its course, having arrived the week of July 4, 1976 from Griffiss AFB Legal Office, Rome NY, after four years in the JAG Corp. After a year, John returned, fit and ready for another 18 years or so in the practice of law, which he did into his 90’s. His office was running smoothly, and my confidence, was increasing.
