Re: Interest on Retainer Fee Money

More | Report Post

Hey, if the supreme court
or bar association says it's
their money, it's their money.
What you going to do, go to
war with them. No way you would
win that battle. They make
the law. Whatever they say the
law is, it is. They have the
right by eminent domain to take
whatever they want and it's tough
luck for you, AA. Sorry, but that's
why we all want to become lawyers
and judges. We can take whatever
we please, and it will all be
legal. Sorry, friend.
