Looking for Legal Advice

I'm working on a project and would like a bit of private advice from someone familiar with copywrite law... even if you're "Jimmy's people".

Thanks!

You know why lawyers never get attacked by sharks?

Professional courtesy

Let's see, I went to a 3rd rate law school, graduated in the bottom half of the class and failed the bar exam the first time. Yeah, I pretty much knew that already.

As a litigation lawyer (something that requires more people skills than smartie smarts) I can say that the very bookish and brilliant types smart enough to deal with very technical copyright issues; those attorneys aren't likely to be hangin around here...

If u haven't gotten the help u were hoping for, u can call your county bar association. They should have a referral service and can give u a couple of #s of attys to call. Most lawyers will be willing to have an initial meeting to discuss whether they can help you.

Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. I'll look into your advice.
I'm sure you're smarter than the average Joe, being a Buffett fan and all.

It's good that you've accepted your limitations.

So.. let's get this straight...

you are smart enough to be an attorney

but not smart enough to know better than to want to be an attorney
