A quick definition of attorney's fees:

Attorney's fees refer to the amount of money a client pays to their lawyer for the legal services provided. This can be a fixed amount, an hourly rate, or a percentage of any settlement or award received. It is important to understand the fee structure before hiring a lawyer to avoid any surprises later on.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Attorney's fees refer to the amount charged by a lawyer for the services provided to a client. This can be in the form of an hourly fee, a flat fee, or a contingent fee.

Example: If a lawyer charges $200 per hour and works for 5 hours on a case, the attorney's fees would be $1000.

Explanation: This example illustrates how attorney's fees are calculated based on the hourly rate charged by the lawyer and the number of hours worked on a case.

Example: A lawyer may charge a flat fee of $5000 for handling a divorce case from start to finish.

Explanation: This example shows how attorney's fees can also be charged as a flat fee for handling a specific type of case, such as a divorce case.

Example: In a contingent fee arrangement, the lawyer only gets paid if the client wins the case. The fee is usually a percentage of the amount awarded to the client.

Explanation: This example demonstrates how attorney's fees can be contingent on the outcome of the case, with the lawyer only receiving payment if the client is successful in their legal matter.

Crazy story, I had dinner with the dad of a friend of mine and he just openly went on Tinder in front of me and the other guys. Later my mom ran into him with another woman (not his wife/friend's mom) and he got very uncomfortable and never texted her again

I keep my dating very clean and above board. No overlaps, no ambiguities. If you want to go into some sort of public office in the future it's good to be smart about things like that

babycat

So many politicians have sex scandals and that's how they get blackmailed and other people have power over them. I mean of course there are ethical and emotional issues too but it's literally just smart to not be a cheater

I would never go into public office as it drags in your family as well. Dating is so much easier then some people make it out to be and it is not that hard to not cheat. I would always tell my soldiers to rub one out before making a big decision so they arent acting dumb

Like if more cheaters just paused and rubbed one out they would be like you know maybe ill just watch some TV

babycat

I've seen some people do a really good job keeping their family out of it. But it really is an "anything they can use against you, they will" type of vibe
