Let me give you my own experience with a lawyer here in LA...I was buying into a dealership on the west coast...I was Not legal...Butt,..I had money...I tried to fast track acceptance into the USA...to get the lawyers attention...who resided on Wilshire Blvd. I handed him $5000. cash..he took the cash and left the room...when he returned... the legal fee became five thousand dollars less on paper.
Not a Lame Trope. I ended up getting into the states with Wayne Gretzy's lawyer for exactly half the price...
Craig,...nothing personal..it's just business.
p.s. I don't hate anyone...lifes too short.
