My Free Bankruptcy Consultation Saves Fifteen Thousand Dollars, Compared to Clark Clifford
Clark Clifford was a big Washington DC lawyer and big friend of President Lyndon Johnson. There’s a legend that a businessman came to Clifford for consultation on a complicated problem. Clifford said, I’ll get back to you. Then he sent a letter saying, “Do nothing,” with a billl for $10,000.00.
“If you are gonna charge me $10,000 to tell me do nothing, at least explain why.”
The angry businessman called Clifford, saying, “You SOB, if you are gonna charge me ten thousand dollars and tell me to do nothing, you should at least explain explain why!” Clifford said, I’ll get back to you. He sent a new letter saying, “Because I said so.” And included a bill for another $5,000.00.
I Charge Nothing If I Tell You to “Do Nothing.”
I have a couple dozen free bankruptcy consultations each month. I can help most people; a few I can’t. And some people are better off doing nothing. If I tell you to do nothing, there’s no charge. But I do appreciate a review, saying you met an honest lawyer and saved fifteen thosuand dollars by coming to me, instead of Clark Clifford.
