As our nation enters and continues in these difficult times, most Americans will increase their contact with the legal system. When I was an attorney for legal aid in St. Louis in the 1970's and 1980's, I learned that people who have come upon hard economic times are seven times more likely to come into contact with the courts than those who are more affluent. Similarly, in these times in the early 21st century, not only citizens who have lost income, but those who are concerned about their futures must ensure that their legal affairs are in order so that if they do experience an economic reversal, they will not be in dire legal straits. My experience as an attorney in private practice for over twenty years has shown me that a few dollars spent on early legal advice and planning can save thousands of dollars and many headaches later. That will be the purpose of these postings.
