Top Ten Reasons Not to Hire Me
An now, our Top Ten list for the day (or in my case probably the year):
The 10 top reasons why you DON’T want me as your business attorney.
10. You’ve never sat up at night worrying about firing that employee or wondering if there’s anything you can do to avoid a potential wrongful termination lawsuit.
9. You’re totally 100% comfortable with your use of independent contractors and are sure you’re immune from the rash of payroll tax audits.
8. You have totally stopped using independent contractors because you’re so terrified of payroll tax audits.
7. You like signing contracts without completely understanding them – it reminds you of going to Las Vegas.
6. You don't own a business and you have no need for any legal services for your business:
5. You have convinced yourself that your company has no intellectual property because you don’t create software, and you don’t realize that your business name, those handy intake forms you use, the way your train your employees and your website are all intellectual property and should be protected.
4. You enjoy being shuffled from one associate to another because your business is too small for the partner who originally talked you into hiring the firm in the first place.
3. You have no problem with Accounts Receivable. Everyone pays you on time, no fuss, no bother, and you know they always will.
2. You think it’s terrible for an attorney to have a “Top 10” list on her weblog.
And, the number one reason why you shouldn’t hire me as your attorney…
1. You don’t see any amusement value in having an attorney who put herself through law school as a cab driver in New York City.
