Simplified Litigation

Not all diseases require major operation for cure
and not all legal disputes require unpleasant litigation
in court. lawyer explains it this way:
Sometimes get to work particularly COM
plicated case with many angles that the solution
seems hopeless. | get down my law books and begin
to search them for light the subject. And then
think of the lawyer the other side and realize that
he's in exactly the predcament call him up,
and get together and talk the thing honestly
and frankly and usually we reach some simple COM
promise that delights both sets of clients, lot
of time and annoyance and does away with the need
of costly court procedure
good many more lawyers have this common
sense attitude toward the law and legal disputes than
is generally realized. If people knew this they
would have less fear of lawyers and would consult
them about heir affairs oftener, thus avoiding many
of the complicated difficulties they get themselves into.
