[quote=Russell]I like the Lawyers I have had the pleasure of paying $250-$300 hour. Use them wisely and it is a good return, compared to having to go to the bother of learning what they know.

Agreed. Everyone bags on lawyers till you need one. I’ve needed them in the past and will likely be using one going forward if we pursue our former contractor/thief.
For those of you that hate lawyers… wait till you get charged with a crime you didn’t commit and need a legal defense. This happened to me when I was in college. I was grateful that the lawyer not only got me an acquittal, an order of “factual innocence” was entered. Cops aren’t all saints, some lie (as happened in my case – but they were CAUGHT lying on the stand.) Lawyers can be very useful.
