In Reply to: Lawyers advertising? posted by Geo-TH,In on May 13, 2017 at 05:13:09:

When it comes to recommendations, I don't think judges are allowed to. Not sure about clerks.

After having a neck injury many years ago, several folks from church recommended I go see a chiropractor, and the same name came up a couple of times. So I went there. He said he had to "re-injure" the neck in order for it to heal. ........I'm still waiting for the healing part!

Was also suggested by the folks at church and family that I get a lawyer. .....Not gonna ruin the forum with my experiences!! Let's just say lots of VERY weird stuff went on during that time!

Went to see a dentist one time about a problem tooth. He said that all of my upper teeth and most of my lowers needed to be removed. I was puzzled, but also knew I hadn't been to a dentist in a very long time. I thought about it for a while, talked it over with family, then finally figured, "Hey, he's a dentist. If he says they need to come out, he should know". I held back on the lowers, so he only worked on the uppers. He pulled the very front teeth, but chose to break the rest into pieces and then pull out the bits. An oral surgeon stopped counting at 40 pieces of tooth and root that he pulled out 6 months later! The first dentist turned one tooth root sideways in my gums, shoved another root up into my sinus cavity. It would rattle every time I took a step! Everyone (including the oral surgeon AND the medical doctors, as this caused other problems) said GET A LAWYER and GET HIM! .....Ok, so I tried. I live in Minnesota, but the dentist was in Arkansas, as Dad just had a pacemaker installed and he paid for the first dentist. Now before I get to the lawyers part, I also need to add that my vision was 20/20 prior to the extractions, but fell to 20/200 within 45 days afterwards!! I ended up with severe viral and bacterial infections. Pain was so bad and mouth so swollen and tender that I was on a liquid diet for weeks, then eating ONLY things like mac & cheese and other soft foods for 2-3 months. Lots of medical problems. Vision still fluctuates to this day! Can no longer shoot a rifle. Rifles without scopes - vision sucks. Scoped rifles, I take a shot, then have to refocus the scope before taking another shot. Now for the good part - I spent MONTHS calling around Arkansas trying to get a lawyer to represent me. Nothing! An open and shut case, and NOT ONE SINGLE LAWYER would take the case!! In Arkansas, only a lawyer licensed to work in a particular county can do so, so my choices were severely limited. I finally called one who said he might be interested, but to wait for a while and let the medical stuff kinda settle down. In his own words, he wanted to let the pot simmer for a while - you know, to help make a bigger case. .....OooooooK? So I call back about 6 months later - he's no longer interested in representing me.

Have other experiences with lawyers - not good ones I'm afraid. When I fight, I fight fair. I "WILL NOT" shoot dirty pool, nor will I allow an attorney to do so. Everything will be letter-of-fact without embellishment, as it should be. There is only one truth in anything and everything. It is not up to interpretation. Facts are facts, right? Well, I have learned that "I" don't seem to have much luck with sticking with the facts. That old saying "The Truth shall set you free" must mean "after" this lifetime. But there is only one truth. Thanks to a bad neighbor, we live literally in the middle of nowhere, yet we have about 26 cameras and multiple video recorders! Around here, THE TRUTH WILL BE KNOWN!! But in the end, what good is it? I certainly haven't benefited from playing by the rules - not just the "legal rules", but by the Good Book rules. I carry Truth on my side, regardless of how painful or embarrassing it may be at times, and I will not waver from that! And yet, in my experiences, the truth has not been something that attorneys I've met have wanted to deal with.....no, let me re-phrase that - the truth is something that attorneys I've met do not want to be "limited" to.

I have seen attorneys with their clients talking with a judge in private before court. I have had that same judge tell me to bring in my recordings as evidence, then would not even allow them into evidence when the time came.

I have nothing against lawyers personally. But I had a chance to pick up an older (1970's or 80's) law book from UND (Univ. of North Dakota) that had some (to me) very dis-heartening things in it. For one, it took the Constitution and broke it down into about 90 different segments, some of which were just 3 words long, then the book proceeded to explain what each individual group of words meant. I read that several times over and just couldn't understand....this isn't the Constitution I grew up learning about in my history classes in Texas! When I compared what the book was saying against the full, in-context meaning of the Constitution, suddenly things became very hazy!! The book continued to explain how one should avoid the facts if it will improve your case, AND EVEN TO LIE!! No, it didn't say those exact words, but it instructed not to go by actual letter-of-the-law, but to use "Case Law". ??? Upon researching that a bit more, I've come to understand that case law is the end result of any court case. So, if in the event of a court case a judge is forced to make a ruling a certain way, that ruling now becomes case law, EVEN IF THE RULING IS WRONG, for whatever reason. Could be (and usually is) that the winning side had the est lawyer(s) and most money, could be that the yahoo-looser chose to represent him/herself and did so very poorly, etc, etc, etc..... I'm sorry, but where (and how) I was raised, that means throwing the Truth out on its ear and NOT following the law.

I know this is a long and VERY intense post, and I apologize for that. I'm writing the Truth as best I know it. Anything I've said, take it with a grain of salt and do your own research. Growing up in church, the Preachers would always say not to take their word for things, but to do our own research - read the Bible and learn the Truth for ourselves. Get the facts from the source; not second, third or fourth-hand.

I hope this post doesn't bring with it a backlash, as these are "MY" experiences and understandings. Sorry for the rant.
