The most obvious answer would be estate planning. Even those people should have a will

I have a number of friends that are Attorneys, I’m also friends with a number of judges, also a few that are retired.

So often needed for Property transactions. When building and flipping houses. Too many things require an attorney.

I’ve known a number of the local District Attorney’s and their families.

Yes but I don't feel the need to tell people unless they ask for a referral. When you're in business for yourself there are times its necessary.

trashy behavior, but everytime I hear someone say, “Call my/your lawyer”


You're not wrong. The people that talk like this are generally not my type. It's not a flex to say this and generally "their lawyer" is Morris Bart or Dudley Debosier.

I have a friend who is a lawyer I could call if needed but I’d expect him to charge me.

No calls have been made yet

Not currently.

But had to hire 3 different lawyers during my life for 5 separate situations.

The only good decisions I make are lifting, BJJ and improving my moderately above avg cardio.

My group had a contract with a hospital. Hospital lawyer made some threats about breach of contract. We hired a lawyer to navigate the situation. One call from our lawyer reminding them how they caused the situation in question squashed all that.

I learned 2 things from the situation. Hospital lawyers are weakest of the legal profession but still you don’t want to take them on by yourself.

I’m my own attorney, way smarter than any attorney I’ve ever met including my stepfather.

I’ve won many cases on my own.

What if you and ChadBoy have a bad breakup? It could get messy. Who gets all the strap on toys and such?

Nah, I just go look in the mirror if anything comes up.

Actually, that’s not true at all. I’ve got plenty of lawyers in my orbit. One in particular for criminal defense that I’ve used. Remember walking into his office and being blown away by all the LSU paraphernalia. Come to find out that circa Nick Saban, this dude was the fixer for all the student athletes. Most folks—even those in the legal community—wouldn’t know his name, but that dude had the ability to make shite disappear.

Have only ever needed one for estate issues. That’s the extent of my personal needs, so far.

The Legal department at work is a different story. They’ve been worth their weight in gold as my team deals with vendors a lot. At least a few of which have turned out to be pieces of shite in the fullness of time.
