Re: My Rights

Dear Someone-you-know:

Going into the trial arena is like a neophyte, with no training, experience or better judgment, going into a boxing ring with a pro. He's "gonna' get killed!"

Where any serious legal rights are at stake, no one should attempt it. Any man who would be his own lawyer has a fool for a client!

Cover your assets, and consult a reputable attorney ASAP.

Good luck.

Sincerely, J. Norman Stark
