This book is a synopsis of the legal industry and a limited, basic "how to" for the individiual that can not afford an attorney. The "how to" advice is directed to the more mundane everyday type litigation which might confront a person on a daily basis. The forms and advice might vary a little with the specific jurisdiction and the timely publishing of this manual but the premise and foundation remain the same.

As a whole, attorneys, lawyers, judges or whatever you might call them, are known by the connotation of LEGAL WHORES in this non-fiction book. It is a deservedly appropriate title for this vocation. Before proceeding, please be advised that these are real, non-fiction accounts of what the legal fraternity does to extract money from the public which you might find incredible. There literally are no limits or bounds as to what the judicial fraternity will do to acquire wealth in whatever form, personal or real property. Two of the main attributes always used to extract money from his clients are the client's greed or emotions. The lawyer tells his client that they will win the case and the client will probably get a zillion dollars. The typical person in these United States, being a worshipper of riches, salivates at the prospect of getting unearned moneys from the sweat of someone else. This is easy prey for the attorney.

Then there is the emotional scenario where the client is involved in a situation that incurs his emotional wrath in say marital law and its ancillary causes or confrontational issues involving neighbors, family, business. This too is easy prey for the attorney. The attorney convinces his client that he can get the best of the oppostion in court, therefore, let's get 'em! Whether the merits of the case warrant litigation or not is purely incidental to the attorney's desire to line his pockets with the client's cash. Most litigation is simple, requiring little cost to the lititgant for resolution via mediation, arbitration or limited litigation. However, this sort of resolution puts little money in the pockets of the legal fraternity. Use psychology and prey on the client's greed and/or emotional behavioral attributes to extract the maximum amount of money (fees) from the clients for the attorney's efforts... efforts as defined by the attorney. When the case or litigation is concluded the attorney no longer can bill his client for fees. Where is the incentive for the lawyer to bring this litigation to a conclusion?

I have heard that every civilized society must have laws in order to survive. I cannot argue with this point. Nevertheless, I have great empathy with the manner in which these laws are augmented in today's society. The basic criteria for our legal system in this country is money. If you don't believe that, then you are either naive, dumb or stupid, or your child is a lawyer... or all of the above.
