Net Neutrality

[Catatonic]

I would hope he'd be smart about it.

In spite of the evidence otherwise, one can hope.

I wouldn't be bothered at all, if I ever needed him to represent me.

I would hope he'd be smart about it.

Any indications by his postings/rantings here are not hopeful at all.

If he were my BA or shop steward, based on his actions here I'd have no respect for him and would seek someone else.

I doubt most people's behavior on an anonymous message board is very indicative of their behaivior IRL.

What you see is what you get with me.

I don't know ... my lawyer is as distasteful a person as one can be.
He is effective though!

Too bad for your neighbors and ex-friends.

You have a personal lawyer?

This is the only area in that I envy you—-I would love to not be able to see my neighbors.

You have a personal lawyer?

I have a lawyer on retainer for different things.
I use two others as well.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I used one when I closed on my condo and a different one when I got divorced. Both were paid for by the union.

I normally pay out ~$2500 annual retainer and we usually use it up.
I buy his lunch occasionally.
Don't want him for a friend.

Rather have a rabid pit bull on my side, than a little Yorkie. He is emotionally invested in his people.

I do think he is wrong on this issue, but don't know everything, but as a BA, I bet he us a good one.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

An effective BA has to know when to play ball and which battles are worth fighting.

He is clearly wrong on this issue.

You get what you pay for.
You want someone to wear down an opponent ... he's the man.
Ask my daughter's ex-husband. That did cost a little more than $2500.

Drug arrests?

My ex and I hammered out most of the details ourselves. I urged her to use my lawyer for the bulk of the grunt work but she insisted upon using her own. He charged her $6K just for the separation agreement.

I do agree that you get what you pay for.

True in 99% of people, but he's not anonymous. 407 driver, now their BA? Everything he posts is now public. Reflects directly on the local.

Drug arrests?

Not me but a couple of 'friends'.
No, mostly real estate and a little income tax but he does criminal cases too.
He stays legal but takes it right up to the line.
He fights for you! Just like 407_Ohio_Steward does.
