What a nice little law office. It’s pretty low-key, with a decent location. I was able to park right out front of the office on Plumas Street.
I had an appointment to go in and sign some papers to finalize a difficult legal situation. It’s usually not pleasant when you have to visit a attorney, at least until you can perhaps resolve a situation and move onto something better.
Anyway, I spoke to the office manager, Tony, and he made me feel very comfortable in the office, even where I was on the opposing side of a process. Even so, he was very polite and professional, even though it was a stressful situation.
This can often be common when you have to go to the lawyer’s office. The legal situation in Washoe County leaves a lot to be desired. People who are un represented often lose their rights because of their inability to pay for representation by professional lawyers.
The courts in Washoe County, unfortunately, do not show much mercy for those who are unable to afford full-time representation from attorneys. The pro bono, lawyers, who I applaud them for their sacrifice, can only offer limited advice and support.
The biggest problem with the pro bono attorneys is that they are so overworked and understaffed they cannot keep up with the demand for the clients that are in the worst situations. The law is biased towards the rich. It’s a fact, and don’t let anyone try to convince me otherwise. I’ve been there, done that.
Nevertheless, in spite of my soapbox speech, I sat down in this office to sign papers, and when I discovered errors, I brought them up to the office manager, Tony. He really knows his stuff, and he took the time to look things over and make phone calls to correct the situation.
Nothing in this world is perfect! I’m not criticizing or complaining because those errors were fixed by the time the paperwork was filed. Even though I was in opposition to this attorney‘s client, I gave them a five star rating because of their professionalism and their great office decorations! OK, just kidding, but the place did look nice.
Good job you guys, keep up the good work, and don’t forget the little guy, everyone deserves equal representation under the law, yeah, right!
