Business lawyer

Ok, ok, we've all heard a good lawyer joke or two in our lifetime. Everybody's heard a good lawyer joke. For example - "Why did scientists switch from rats to lawyers when performing their experiments? Because lawyers breed faster and are harder to get attached to." Etc. etc. Lawyers are evil. Lawyers are nasty. Lawyers are wicked. Lawyers will steal your last dollar from you, they'll steal your soul if they can (owning to the fact that they don't have souls, of course). Lawyers are money-hungry shark-like predators with grinning toothy smiles and bloody chins. Etc. etc. We've all heard the jokes - we've all heard the comments. There are probably millions of lawyer jokes out there. "How do you get a lawyer out of a tree? Cut the rope." "What's the difference between a lawyer and a bucket of pond scum? The bucket." Etc. etc.

All jokes aside, lawyers do perform a fairly vital role in our society. Lawyers, after all, maintain and uphold the law. The law is a very, very complicated affair, and lawyers are trained to be experts in the law. If you think of the law as a great, tight, complicated knot, a lawyer is someone with extremely clever fingers who can come in and unravel that knot for the average man and woman who haven't benefited from training in the law.

So, you own your own business. You've got a nice, quiet business on a nice, quiet street. You decide to expand. You decide to add another floor to your business, to expand your business to meet the needs of your customers. You hire a contractor to do this. You pay him to use only the best materials. You pay him quite a bit of money to use only the best materials, in fact. He completes the job - and you discover that he used only the cheapest materials and pocketed the rest of the money. You'd better believe that you'd need a good business lawyer or attorney in this case. A good business lawyer or attorney is the only way for you to get your money back.

A good business lawyer or attorney would come in and figure out exactly what the contractor did to cheat you. A good business lawyer or attorney would take the contractor to court and make him face a judge. A good business lawyer or attorney would make it very, very clear how the contractor had taken advantage of you. A good business lawyer or attorney would not only get your money back, he or she would make the contractor pay you for the extra time and expenses you wasted in combating his dishonesty.

Or let's say that you're a business owner and you find out that a group of employees has been ingeniously stealing from you. That would be a case for a goodbusiness lawyer or attorney, too. A business, after all, can be taken advantage of by its employees, just as a business can take advantage of its employees. A good business lawyer or attorney would come in and pinpoint where the employees had taken advantage of the business, and ensure that the business got its money back.
