Hi Leslie,

I did not think you didn't respect those who hire attorneys I was just commenting on why I personally chose to hire one

Mainly I was replying to your thread because I have heard funny ways of the word "cheap" including 'economical' and 'economically inclined'...LOL!

I was going to offer "frugal" but that is another word that I really can't stand (like knuckles). LOL

I think there used to be a store named "Frugal Fannies" that went bankrupt. Maybe they were too frugal!

tweeky,

Please do, I'd be interested to hear his reaction.

My suspicion is that no attorney will accept such a clause in his retainer agreement.
- a 'good' attorney would never make claims such as the one that we heard in that other post ("I can get that approval in under 6 months"). They will tell you the truth - no outcome can be guaranteed.
- a 'dodgy' attorney has his eye focused on his fee, not on his client, and is not going to risk a penny of the fee no matter what claims he makes to attract the client.

Booger,

I think you just earned your moniker, and into the snot rag with you. Statements like this are irresponsible and do a great dis-service to the group.

Maybe hiring a lawyer is not necessary, but a layman is unlikely to know until after the fact - when it may be too late.

A consultation with an attorney at the outset, perhaps even several consultations during the course of events, is never a waste of money. And the cost of a consultation is little, if any, more than the cost of filing any one of the numerous petitions and applications.

There was the fellow "bobzy" only yesterday who thought he had a problem-free situation right up to the visa interview, when the consular officer questioned the legitimacy of some time his fiancee had spent in the USA on a F (if I remember correctly) visa. If this guy had consulted a competent attorney to review his situation at the beginning, the attorney may have flagged the same item that caught the interviewer's attention and the fiancee could have been prepared in advance to address the issue.

If the store was in England, it probably got closed down as this means something quite different over there

Leslie

What did you say JEff?? I couldn't hear you.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to double check the name of that store...I'm pretty sure it was a women's clothing store.

Juliet

Leslie

I think it means the same thing here. CHEAP ASS. Hee hee hee. Leslie

Karen D

LOL!!!

jcapulet

So maybe "Frugal Fannies" is a sophisticated way of saying "Cheap Asses"?

Hahaha...and I checked a website, apparently that is/was the name of the store.

It would absolutely not mean cheap ass in England

Leslie

There you are! Are you ready for your thrashings??

CharlieS

Hang on, let me just pack my smalls for thrashing protection

Leslie
