**freeadultcontent** · 06-10-2004, 06:35 PM

How many shady people have you gotten off?

**Juicy D. Links** · 06-10-2004, 06:36 PM

Ask him how many times per week he gets laid

**Elli** · 06-10-2004, 06:39 PM

Would (s)he take sexual favours as payment or as a Christmas bonus? If not from you, then from someone in your employ?

Its always a judgement call. I just would explain what I do and ask what can you do for me? If I believe his answers then I would choose him.

im assuming this is for adult

well if he/she does not represent many people in adult in a similair business your in RUN as far as you can.

Talking from experience.

In these days we use pro adult attornies, Richard Chapo, Larry Walter etc. on retainer

Sorry, KMR. I have no idea. Once they get all specialized like that, I'm in over my head. Maybe find a law forum online or a FAQ that could tell you what kind of lawyer does what?

Good advice, ask the lawyer for past experiences (without naming his clients' names) and how they relate to your business. There's no point hiring a lawyer so you can teach him how your industry works. Go with someone who has a good reputation (ask other similiar businesses who they've used) and a solid education always goes a long way.
