#17 - "There's no legal risk in doing XYZ"

• noonespecial 17y ago
  Sure there is. There's also plenty of risk for not doing XYZ. In America, anyone can sue at any time for any reason. You are always at legal risk. So the advice that lawyers give "always talk to your attorney before..." is technically correct no matter what. It just happens to be self-serving (for the lawyer), impractical and needlessly expensive. Kind of like "you are always at risk of a head injury, never leave the house without wearing a kevlar helmet".

    Gamble was suggesting that is something that a lawyer would not say. so you are in agreement.

      A lawyer wouldn't say ostriches can fly either. It goes further than that. The article was things a lawyer won't tell you but are true nonetheless. From a lawyer's standpoint, everything is a legal risk of some form or another, so I'd argue that this fits in the ostrich category, not the article's category.
