Personal Opinion vs. Professional Advice


                I mentioned this in passing a little earlier.

                Sometimes we lawyers have a choice to make in

                giving people advice. When clients ask me questions,

                I’ll sometimes reply by asking:


                                “Do you want my personal opinion,

                                      or my professional advice?”

                They are not always one and the same, especially in

                our day and age, with laws changing very often, and

                with politicians passing any laws that come out of

                their heads… or maybe out of their butts.

                or they might get mad.


                I said earlier that s Supreme Court Justice recently

                remarked that we now have over 10 MILLION LAWS

                in America to enforce the 10 COMMANDMENTS.

                This is why we lawyers sometimes get confused,


                wouldn’t you imagine? And it’s also why we have
                developed the 10 commandments of lawyers, which
