"Is it the lawyer's responsibility to pay for depositions" I read where this guy was taken advantage of by a lawyer. It hurt me to read the response "This is a good question, but in all likelihood, YOU are responsible for this expense." I wanted to respond but only attorneys were allowed to answer. I have worked around attorneys for many years while installing or servicing fire or security systems. What I want to know is how we expect them to police themselves? These individuals are not gods and an ethical lawyer is an oxymoron. We are enslaved by the words they are taught to speak. I am forced to play a game in which I do not know the rules, I can pay someone who does or I can devote my life to the twisting of the words. We assign interpreters for free to illegal aliens because they do not speak our language so, what is the deal with lawyers. When it comes down to it money or their friendship of another lawyer, the verdict is not about what is right or any law. I had a hit and run on my car. Three witnessed the wreck and a policeman found the car with the markings of paint at a collision repair shop. The license was lying on the back seat so it could not be seen from the street. My car was parked. She totaled it and left without a note or even getting out of her car. In a kangaroo court in San Diego the case was decided without my or my lawyer's presence. Why? She was a minor with a rich daddy. The tactics are to piss of all of the witnesses in normal proceedings by calling it off court 15 minuets before it is scheduled. In all cases I had known of before, the judge heard both sides before giving a verdict. Unless one side decides not to show up (this is normally due to the high fees already paid to the lawyer). I showed up to all seven scheduled court dates. When the lawyer figured out that I had no witnesses he made an **** out of me stating "this must not be true, you have only your word" I lost in "child (kangaroo) court and in civil court. I failed to mention she totaled a 2 week old car and got away with it. All I received was a 65 cent check for my time. Who do you people think you are? I am enslaved by lawyers meant to protect who? This is not my only hostile encounter.
