December 14th, 2011

Question by Vengeance: Criminal Law Lawyer? (or something like that)?
I’ve recently become a bit curious with becoming a lawyer. I’m interested in the Criminal Justice field though, so I want to explore something with criminal justice and being a lawyer for it.

-What type of lawyers are there that do things retaining to “criminal justice”? (I can’t think of any other way to phrase this…)

-Can you find a site or maybe personal experience, on what these lawyers do daily. (General things)

-Would you say it’s worth being a lawyer in this field? (only if you know personally)

-Anything else you think might be useful for me.

Thank you!

Will my wife get my classic car in divorce?

December 14th, 2011

Question by Ed: Will my wife get my classic car in divorce?
Hi, I live In WI and I am going through a divorce. We are trying to do this online cheaply without getting lawyers involved. I told her she can take what she wants, I just want my car. She verbally agree d, however if lawyers DID get involved I am afraid her word isn’t going to be enough. If I have her sign a paper, stating that I get the car, would that be good enough for the court? So far she pretty much has taken everything else already anyway.

Thanks Much!

Here’s a list of the different types of law specialities you can choose from, from the US Dept of Labor. You have to decide which one is fulfilling or not…

1) Criminal: Most lawyers, also called attorneys, act as both advocates and advisors in our society. As advocates, they represent one of the parties in criminal and civil trials by presenting evidence and arguing in court to support their client.

2) Corporate: Lawyers are sometimes employed full time by a single client. If the client is a corporation, the lawyer is known as “house counsel” and usually advises the company concerning legal issues related to its business activities. These issues might involve patents, government regulations, contracts with other companies, property interests, or collective bargaining agreements with unions.

3) Lawyer specialities:
Lawyers may specialize in a number of areas, such as bankruptcy, probate, international, or elder law. Some lawyers specialize in the growing field of intellectual property, helping to protect clients’ claims to copyrights, artwork under contract, product designs, and computer programs. Still other lawyers advise insurance companies about the legality of insurance transactions, guiding the company in writing insurance policies to conform with the law and to protect the companies from unwarranted claims.

4) Government Lawyers:
A significant number of attorneys are employed at the various levels of government. Lawyers who work for State attorneys general, prosecutors, public defenders, and courts play a key role in the criminal justice system. At the Federal level, attorneys investigate cases for the U.S. Department of Justice and other agencies. Government lawyers also help develop programs, draft and interpret laws and legislation, establish enforcement procedures, and argue civil and criminal cases on behalf of the government.

5) Non-profit Lawyers:
Other lawyers work for legal aid societies—private, nonprofit organizations established to serve disadvantaged people. These lawyers generally handle civil, rather than criminal, cases.

Best answer:

Answer by julie j
We have a great one- Jeffrey Litchman. He was John Gotti Jr.’s attorney for one of his trials. He is a shark. He doesn’t work for a big firm- so you are not paying half a million to hire him before trial.
