GULP! The Wall Street Journal Reports...Can you believe this? $1,500 per hour for an attorney?

How can the average person afford an attorney nowadays?! There is an answer and you'll be astounded at how simple this answer is...

http://www.wsj.com/articles/legal-fees-reach-new-pinnacle-1-500-an-hour-1454960708

Partners at some of the top U.S. law firms are approaching—and sometimes surpassing—the watershed billing rate of $1,500 an hour, making the $1,000-an-hour legal fees that once seemed so steep look quaint by comparison.

I finally did it. I finally submitted my book manuscript to Page Publishing in NYC for my book LAWYER UP! for paperback tonight at 11:11 pm...and it "only" took me 11 months to do it since publishing in Amazon Kindle as an e-book where it went #1 Best Seller in Kindle for 3 categories.

Made tons of revisions and edits for the paperback version. Thanking all of you (you know who you are) who gave your input and some honest observations. I am so grateful.

I originally was going to self-publish the paperback but decided to see what Page could offer. I'll know whether they accept or reject my manuscript in a couple of weeks.

I envisioned my book on the Best Seller shelf by placing a prototype of it in Barnes & Noble Best Seller section earlier this year and someone who was standing behind me wanted to buy it...she was a lawyer! That was so cool Dream Building...NEVER stop Dreaming!
