I'll be here for the few hours and then again at around 1 pm PST for another few hours. As usual, there are countless possible topics and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with. Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases for obvious liability reasons because I won't have access to all the facts. Please stick to a factual discussion in your questions and comments and I'll try to do the same in my answers. Thanks!

This is an inappropriate question for this AMA. The person is trying to help out others by offering some free guidance, and your question is, "how do you sleep at night, you scum-sucking bastard?"

The person is not here to help others, he is here to promote himself and his business. Do you really think a professional multi-millionaire attorney with his own law firm came here in the middle of a work day just to socialize?

Doesn't matter. It's still inappropriate behavior on your part.

And, people can help others and promote themselves at the same time. One can appreciate the former while holding their nose at the latter.
