Question

Is this allowed

What is the name of your state? West Virginia
I signed a contract with an attorney I hired for 2 cases, when he mailed me copies of them, the were notarized and both contracts had different dates

And when you cornered the attorney, with his back up against the wall, what was his reply?

**A: there is no law requring engagement contracts to be notarized and to have the same dates.

What (if anything) do you think is wrong with either or both of these contracts?

**A: white is not a good color for an attorney. The blood stains from the gunshots show up.

Just a little replacement for Jenny...

can't keep up with what's been going on
I think my heart must just be slowing down
Among the human beings in their designer jeans
Am I the only one who hears the screams
And the strangled cries of lawyers in love

God sends his spaceships to America, the beautiful
They land at six o'clock and there we are, the dutiful
Eating from TV trays, tuned into to Happy Days
Waiting for World War III while Jesus slaves
To the mating calls of lawyers in love

Last night I watched the news from Washington, the capitol
The Russians escaped while we weren't watching them, like Russians will
Now we've got all this room, we've even got the moon
And I hear the U.S.S.R. will be open soon
As vacation land for lawyers in love

Jackson Browne

Im not sure anything is wrong with the dates. But I do know that he is not doing his job. I have had my benefits stopped 3 different times by workers compensation commision and the lawyer has made no attempt to help yet. 2 out of 3 times I call he does not return my call. When they denied my prescriptions it took him 3 months to protest.
So is there something I can do?
