EVERYDAY PEOPLE DO IT WITHOUT LAWYERS !

Thousands in Legal Bills Saved

>by Attorney David C. Grossack

Leslie F. sat one day in the kitchen of her suburban Boston condominium in total dread of the coming Saturday. The Sheriffs would be auctioning off her home for non-payment of condo fees, and she didn’t have the money. She is 78 and lives on social security. Moreover, she disputed her condo fee bill.

She had learned through the grapevine about me. I am a lawyer who helps people represent themselves in court without a lawyer. (It’s called “pro-se” representation, or Latin “for oneself”). Leslie gave me a call. She wanted to get a restraining order against the auction. Her English was poor; (she is a Russian immigrant) and I struggled to understand her and to explain what she must do. Eventually, she put a few papers together and she went to the Court on her own. Well, this happened a year ago and Leslie is still living in her condo. She won a restraining order against the Condominium Association and she’s preparing for round two!

Ed in California read my book and came to my seminar in Los Angeles. An inventor, he came up with a detachable sign to place on automobiles for advertising purposes. A certain city gave his drivers 4 tickets for driving around with these signs without a permit. Ed persuaded the city that these signs were protected speech under the First Amendment and that if the tickets were not dropped, he’d drop a civil rights suit on the city! Ed’s signs now freely move around the city. Ed handled this problem without a lawyer and is going about his business unmolested by government.

Frank is a school teacher in one of our sunnier states. He’s $350,000.00 richer after coming to my seminar and reading my book. Frank couldn’t stand the corruption in county government and became a whistleblower. He developed a good understanding of the Bill of Rights, and handled his case against his employer pro-se. The reprisals against him were violations of his Constitutional Rights and he was able to teach the bosses a lesson. After he won his case, he sent me a check for a two year subscription to my newsletter!

NEVER BE SNOWED BY LAWYERS AGAIN

What Leslie, Ed and Frank have in common is that they chose to be different than a lot of other people. They decided to take matter into their own hands rather than depend on a lawyer, to do some preparation and study and to go “pro-se.” They could have easily ran up bills in the thousands of dollars for any of these situations. But they didn’t. They came to realize that rather than being an occult mystery, laws are found in books.

Instead of spending money, in all instances, they saved money and in once instance made money, lots of it. Leslie, Ed and Frank are by no means unique. American legal history has been made by folks like Clarence Gideon and Webster Bivens.

EVERY DAY PEOPLE FIGHT BACK !

You may have seen Clarence Gideon portrayed in the movie “Gideon’s Trumpet. He’s an ex-con who fought for the right to have a lawyer. From a Florida jail cell his pro-se pleadings reached a Judge who saw to it that his case went to the full U.S. Supreme Court, and he got a lawyer and his Freedom. Moreover, he achieved recognition for his “right to councel” precedent.

Webster Bivens was another pro-se litigant. Humiliated when federal narcotics agents mistakenly came to his home and strip searched his whole family. Mr. Bivens established a precedent case for suing federal employees for civil rights violations, radically changing the way such cases would be handled forever. And Mr. Bivens made some money for himself. If there is one thing I learned in sixteen years as a lawyer is that most people cannot afford to hire me. If you’re the average American that includes you.

When the average person earns $18.00 or so an hour and I charge $275.00 an hour it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that getting sued or bringing a lawsuit will tap out most people pretty quickly. This reality is reflected in a trip to any courthouse. More than half the people you see there are likely to be there without a lawyer. They have real problems and they don’t have any idea of what to do when a serious situation confronts them.

That’s why I wrote “How To Win a Lawsuit Without Hiring a Lawyer.” I realized that millions of people had a need for this information. They faced false arrest, foreclosure, and all kinds of hassles on the job. Some needed to file bankruptcy. Millions more suffer from what I call “government abuse” or legal abuse.” Their government did not respect their constitutional rights. Police do as they please to people who don’t know how to fight back. Bureaucrats will push their power around, harass and make the lives of citizens miserable until they found themselves facing federal litigation. Even people in the court system itself often abuse their power.

For example, lawyers tell clients they cannot sue the judge or prosecutor. But they are unwilling or too ignorant to tell the truth. There are indeed times when you can sue judges and prosecutors. We’ve broken through the wall of silence on this issue, and even include sample pleadings so you can have guidelines for filing your own lawsuit!

We go a lot further. We explain how to use the law library. We show how to use the rules of civil procedure which are the same in any federal court in this country. We show how to use the racketeering statutes, even against public officials. We explain about property attachments and what goes into freezing your adversary’s assets.
You’ll learn how to draft a complaint and other pleadings. And you’ll learn how to use procedural evidence in your adversary’s possession. You’ll save a bundle in legal research and your attorney’s if you decide to keep them, will know they have an informed consumer as a client. And you’ll be better able to keep them in line. But after you read this book, you just might want to fire your lawyers.

Well, sometimes a lawyer does help. In fact, I always tell people that if you can find a capable, hardworking, honest and affordable lawyer you can work with, you should treasure him (or her). But also keep in mind the words of the late Chief Justice Warren Burger. He was heckled when he told a lawyers group in Chicago back in the 1970's that 75% - 90% of all trial lawyers in this country were incompetent, dishonest, or both.

Going into court on your own is not easy. But the fact is that nobody knows the facts of your case as well as you do. No matter what happens, when you read this book, you’ll be an informed and empowered citizen. No one will ever step on your rights without risking consequences, and you won’t need a lawyer. Sure this book is expensive at $89.00. (You can hardly buy an hour’s time of a good lawyer for $89.00 ... more like a half-hour, and chances are you’ll get nowhere!)

This book is an investment in your rights as a citizen, something so precious. Americans shed their blood in war for it many times. Now is the time to empower yourself with the knowledge of how to use those rights in courts.

Don’t be trampled on by cops, courts, bureaucrats and lawyers. Don’t hire any lawyer without knowing exactly what you are paying for and what he or she is going to do for you. Don’t ever show up in court ignorant of what is happening around you. Don’t count on somebody licensed by the government to stand up to the government for you.

When you read my book, you’ll be one of the very few people in the Courtroom who knows what he or she is doing. Don’t be a victim of the System. Fight Back!
