DR asked:


As I am finishing law school, I was wondering what relationship an attorney can have with a credit agency or business that is able to pull a credit report. It seems as if no attorneys can work for a company that pulls credit reports, but can they own the company, possibly as a silent partner? Can an attorney work for or with a company that pulls credit reports even if it is not in the capacity of working with anything doing with credit reporting? Every attorney that I have looked into requires that a client bring in a copy of their credit report.

I had this attorney for my divorce. After final hearing he windrowed himself. Now I am going back to court regarding child custody. Can he represent me if after his windrow we did not sign a new contract?

- asked:


If an attorney is aware that a brain-dead person has been victimized in some way, can that attorney take initiative and represent that person even though not requested to do so? This is purely academic so feel free to be creative with the question and any related variables.
I guess what I’m really asking is how to assert this ability in court if the defenese were to object. Is there a statute or case law to reference?

Would the Attorney’s fees be paid by the new trust for the benefit of the Surviving Spouse? The trust of the Deceased?
-OR- Out of the surviving spouses’s personal pocket?”

-How could the money come out of the estate before the new trusts were created? The costs were incurred during the closing of the old trust and the creation of the new trusts. The bill rolled in a month later.

rhpricesr asked:


I had signed an agreement with an attorney who stated after serveral months that he was not qualified to handle my case. He had failed to inform his law partners and now has pressed me in a resolution that is not in my best interest. I am considering hiring another lawyer to represent me to releive my finanical obligation with my current lawyer. The case is still pending that the wrong lawyer was hired for. He is on a contingent basis and so would the new lawyer have to be. I am asking how to proceed in this matter. The outcome could be worth 10,000 dollars to me and the lawyer or law firm. I am unemployed and have no means to pay or borrow funds to acquire a lawyer. I am open to guidance and well thoughtout response.
