It always amazes me what stupid sh*t people will waste time whining about.

I have persoanlly witnessed NYPD officersd discouraging people from making reports. I have also heard plenty of first hand accounts.

On top of that, there are so many ways in which the statistics are manipulated.

Don not trust crime statistics.

funstraw - how is earning an honest living providing a valuable service getting "a lot more money than [the lawyer] deserved"?

A good real estate attorney can save clients time, money and certainly a lot of headaches.

Try closing on your own the next time buy a property. Good luck.

What do you do for work?

I am certain whatever you make, you will still be aksing for a raise at the next opportunity.

Uh, Rule 1.8(c)(1).

Look at the mountain of ethics opinions on the issue and you'll get an idea of how muddy the waters can be.

Accepting anything with a substantial value is aksing for trouble.

The rules of professional responsibility for lawyers prohibit *solicitation* of gifts. Unsolicited gifts are OK, but I would take it easy on the value.
