Link Of The Week

They're often the subject of bad jokes, but like them or not, a lawyer is someone we need to have at our disposal.  We need to have their phone number programmed into our cell phone or have it written in our phone book at home.  They're like an umbrella - when you need on, you need one.  Fortunately for me and my family, we've always known two or three lawyers through the years.  (This isn't an advertisement, but if you'd like their names, email and I'd be happy to give you the info.  They're very good at what they do.)  Some of you might not know any lawyers, and chances are if you haven't had to contact one already, you probably will in the future - if for nothing else than to get your will written.  I found a site that could help you out if you're looking for a lawyer.  It's simply called Law Help.  Just got to http://www.lawhelp.org and click on the state where you need/want a lawyer and it will give you the info on how and where to find a lawyer.  For example, I clicked on Kentucky, and it brought up the Kentucky Legal Aid Society, a non-profit, very partial group that will help low and middle income people find legal service.  I came across this site about six months ago, when a friend asked for my help in getting her daughter out of a big mess in Florida.  The Legal Aid Society was able to get the girl in contact with a lawyer who took her case pro bono and helped get the girl out of the mess.
