218.0. "Lawyer referrals?" by ISLNDS::STERN (One step at a time,even if its small) Mon Jun 29 1992 12:00

    I've seen a couple of notes in here requesting names of good lawyers,
    but I didn't see any answers with names so I'm asking again.
    
    My future husband (who is a former DECie who took SERP) is having some
    recent hassles with his ex and has decided it's time to get help from a
    lawyer (he didn't have one during the divorce). We live in Acton, Mass.
    His kids live in Southboro, and his divorce took place in worcester county.
    
    If anyone has a lawyer that they feel is worth recommending, either
    reply in here or send mail to me at ISLNDS::STERN.
    
    Thanks from both of us,
    Evie

    Perhaps the reason lawyer referral is not a big time mentioned name is
    because of the legal verbiage insofar as not being able to promote an
    outside business. And lawyers are business, and it would be construed 
    as a conflict if we were all to say good things about one business over
    another. 

    Hence, another angle. Many of us do not feel that there are many good
    lawyers out there to represent us. Many lawyers have their own
    political agenda and it might be in conflict with what your paying
    them to do. So, you might find yourself getting sabotaged as you pay
    their dear little hearts with your hard earned cash. This I have seen
    first hand. The lawyers of yester-years are not of the same cut as 
    the men and women of today. Please, this is not all lawyers of different
    disciplines. This is the divorce lawyer.
