Forum Site Administrators Expects Part of Other Legal Websites Forums

[Komme]

I ask this question because I am now a member of 3 of different sites based on legal issues forums, but I would not like to see me dealing with same people giving advice. in order to get the best advice I would like to have different people with different views. And I do not want to ask same questions I ask on a different sites to handle or reply by same people here and on the other sites. Tow of these websites look similar with same template style.

Given that you've received the same answers on every other forum, it's more than likely you'll receive the same answers here.

Asking the question over and over and over won't change the legal reality.

Everyone else:

Poster has no case; poster does not understand why. Poster was advised to speak with an attorney.

Many legal sites look similar because they use the same forum software.

Just like you, everybody on the Internet is free to post in any public forum they find.

Oh dear. I think I've seen this guy. Or someone very like him, anyway.

Every once in a while, I spend an afternoon down at the Lucas County Courthouse. I sit in the gallery and listen to whatever cases wander through for a few hours. Call it professional enrichment. There's ALWAYS some dude crabbing about "telling his side" at pre-trial, and getting pissy about being told "no, that's what a trial is for". Yeesh.

I quit reading when posters are adamant that their troubles are because of some vast government conspiracy. Yeah, police officers, court clerks, defense attorneys (both public and private), and judges have nothing better to do than set you up for (insert over-dramatized reason here). People who think there is even a billionth of that level of cooperation in the REAL world are obviously living in some OTHER world - probably a television-based one. Every cog of the criminal justice system has their own particular mandates, goals, and objectives, and they generally conflict more than they overlap.

Police don't make arrests, just because people want them to (in fact, in domestic relations it's usually the opposite). Prosecutors don't froth at the case with eyes lit up to ruin someone's life just because the police made the arrest. (Spent most of yesterday in training regarding how to nip the glut of a certain type of case that is habitually dropped - basically a "how to make the prosecution's case for them, because new case law creates issues where they can't or won't put forth the effort or don't have the particular knowledge do it on their own" exercise). And judges, in reality, do little or nothing in a case until and unless one of the parties asks them to, via motions, objections, etc. It's easy to say that "the judge screwed me", but more often than not, particularly when someone doesn't use a qualified attorney, the simple truth is that the "screwed" person's ignorance of the realities, formalities, and complexities of the courtroom, especially in matters of foundations, admissibility, and relevance, can account for 90% of the "screwing".

Those are the exact reasons that the mantra in ANY case that is going to appear before the court is "YOU NEED AN ATTORNEY". Attorneys don't go to law school to learn how to manicure lawns, program computers, or fix your teeth - they go to law school to get the YEARS of education, practice, and exposure to the previously mentioned complexities of the legal system. Those who choose to swim in pirhanna infested legal waters without one really should EXPECT to come out bloody on the other side, and be darned surprised if they don't.
