What qualities should a good lawyer possess?

mr. clean asked:


I need a lawyer to help me get a better deal on my visitation rights. I recently recieved an offer from her lawyer and i’m not really feeling it. Was wondering if anyone know about how much it cost for a descent lawyer. I live in Houston but i may need one in Dallas being she lives close to it. Any suggestions?

Pascha asked:


If the lawyer says that a time deadline imposed by a judge in an order is “flexible.” what would you think?
Would you think that the lawyer and perhaps the court would be bending the written Rules of Court on other matters, so that the pro se person would have no way of knowing what the real operational rules were? How often do lawyers stray from adhering to proceedural rules, and are they usually allowed to do so if the are proceeding against a pro se party?

Laurel G asked:


We hired a lawyer to represent us in a court case that an ex filed regarding modifcation of child support and visitation. Our lawyer overcharged us and when we questioned him, he removed him self as being on record as our lawyer with the courts and is now suing us for payment. We paid 75% of the bill, but have questions on some of the remaining charges.

newtobigd78 asked:


Let’s say I want to sue somebody for libel but all I have is their Gmail address. Naturally, I need a lawyer to obtain their name and IP address from Google. So what does the lawyer do to obtain those records? Does he show up at Google and say “I’m a lawyer and I need this?” – what gives a lawyer that authority?

mike g asked:


If a lawyer is licensed by a state, such as New Hampshire, how would that lawyer get to practice in the Federal court system? Where would they apply for this license?

RENATO C asked:


An ex-coworker is suing the company that we worked for and is also accusing me of sexual harrasment, I’m a straight guy and far from sexually harrasing an other fellow man. I’m very concern, and need to talk to a lawyer but don’t know what kind of lawyer.

somewhatdamaged2 asked:


I live in Texas and got a ticket 2 months ago and was granted deferred disposition meaning that if i do not get another ticket with in 90 days it will be dismissed… however i just received another… i have heard of people paying a lawyer to possibly “work deals” with the judges to get something dismissed or reduced… anyone know what a lawyer could possibly do for me? Is it worth it?

I have always wanted to be a lawyer ever since i was little. I am only 16 and turning 17 very soon (on the 30th) and i am taking some extraciricular classes when school gets back in session. those are Buisiness Law, and young lawyers, or something like that. But what some other things i can do, i do read a lot of John Grisham books, they are good, but that won’t to much. what are other things i can do to help me so that i can be a lawyer when i grow up?
