I need a lawyer, recommendations please.

[SixPackBack]

Whatever: If i think you are being a twat I say "I think you are being a twat": and in this instance "I think you're being a twat": Are we clear now?

I live in another centre, I know very good traffic lawyers (and I employ one as it happens), I think I should be OK. For anything major (injury accident/running from the Pleece/discharging firearms at idiots on the internets) I know people. Good people.

I think I'm covered, but thanks for your concern.

Hahaha.....your attitude and reply speaks [figuratively] heaps about Lawyers per se. ............the only one replying to this thread is abusive, uncommunicative, incapable of constructing the simplest of rebuttals and delusion enough to believe I would give a flying fuck about his well being

the only person who wins at court are laywers, cops and judges/court staff.

Im only guessing if you could of done this but i would of taken the cop who charged you or the guy who crashed into you to court for the fees (+ the fees and loss of income required to get the fees...).

Spot on. For the best part minor crimes are nothing more than a cash cow for the government and job creation for blood suckers.

SPB -

It's all in the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act (Lawyers: Conduct and Client Care) Rules 2008 (SR 2008/214)


Read them.

I think our learned friend here is getting a little excercised by the all-too-common misconceptions borne of ignorance - which you are perpetuating.

Lawyers are not allowed to act in the ways you are asserting in this thread. It is a very regulated profession, and if you ever have an issue with a lawyer's services - talk to the local District Law Society.

I'm wondering if shooting the star witness in this case will help?

oh it always does.

[Sparrowhawk]

Madness, best of luck with it all. I've always found it helpful to be friends with a couple of cops (i know, sounds like sleeping with the enemy). Then if you get something like this happen, you have a chat to them, they have a chat to the officer involved, and if it's bullshit, it dissappears! At least, that's my theory...

[DEATH_INC.]

OK, enough BS, I'm guessing we need to talk to someone who can give us some legal advice right now, we need to know where we stand. Cheers for the suggestions coming in so far.

What about that annoying bint on the radio, who's always advertising lawyering for people who are up for loss of licence due to drink-drive, speeding etc.? (Sorry - can't remember her name; I always switch off mentally when she starts rabbiting on, as her voice is so annoying... wait.... the annoying ads must've worked...........

Call me cynical but my observation is that the few lawyers who advertise like this have inflated opinions of themselves. Effective lawyers don't advertise - they don't need to.

As for the situation in Auckland, I'm told that case work is dropping off because of the recession. So it should be possible to find a lawyer you are comfortable with. The more information, the more detail you can provide, the better your case.

Traffic cases do not require a senior barrister - just someone who enjoys court-work and has experience. Word of mouth personal recommendation is still by far the best way to find the right lawyer. Hopefully you'l get that here.

Yes, most of the professional bodies are there to protect their own, not you - as they would have you believe.
Car dealers judge car dealers, doctors judge doctors etc etc.
All tend to abide conveniently by the principal of let he who is without sin cast the first stone - hence very few stones ever get cast, and when they do, they usually appear to be tiny pebbles.

I'm expecting a Summons for a Dangerous Driving charge.
It's a crock of shite

Have you been interacting with the ATNR nemesis?

I can, I could, I just didnt.

My responses speak a lot more, I think, about how I think about people who really have no idea about what they are talking about, and who try to reduce everything to their level. Sadly, I got sucked into it and .... No more.

I only hope your a little more motivated to provide some form of defensive action for you clients.

First I was referring to the particular situation of trying to find a good traffic lawyer in Auckland to help them with their cases. Reason: a complex case can drag on and you will be spending a lot of time and money with them. You have to 'feel' you can trust them from a professional relationship POV. All lawyers are trustworthy eg honest by the training and oaths taken to practice law.

Have you tried to get legal help in Auckland for defended traffic hearings? There is a huge backlog of cases and the experienced traffic lawyers are booked up for months in advance. Some of the rap lawyers get up here is when inexperienced legal teams are engaged in complex cases because there is simply no one else left to do it.



Err... you cannot presume to tell me what I really meant. Unless you have fixed your telepathy helmet and Tardis. I will happily pay $2000/hour for good legal advice. Sometimes that advice has been to drop proceedings and walk away. I generally listen.

Fair enough and I apologise. In hindsight I was reacting to other posts and yours just happened to be the most recent.

Mental note to self: deep breaths, calmmm.......

Well, it's been quite a few years since I lined the pockets of anyone in the Legal profession. I'm in a different city now too, that doesn't help me much.

I'm expecting a Summons for a Dangerous Driving charge. It's a crock of shite and I intend to defend the charge to the best of my financial ability. Another KBer has been charged with the same fictional offence. We wrote a letter, but it was met with the standard proforma reply stating "we are going to arsefuck you, Kind regards, The Fuzz".

I'm not posting this here for the KB Kangaroo Court to hear my case. I simply ask that if anyone can reccomend a good traffic Lawyer (that is also affordable ) in Auckland/Norf Shore, kindly share this information.

I don't fancy the idea of catching the bus for 6 months because of something I didn't do.

Lets just say that I was in the place at the time, on the wrong motorcycle.

"lets just say..."

Uh huh.... Did something then.... At a guess, refused to discuss with the cop involved, so he went with what he was told... Just not enough detail to give advice here..... Know a little about stuff like this so feel free to PM for a chat, for free of course....

Mmmm, I'll fess up, I'm the other one charged with the same offense.....but before you all say it, no I didn't commit said offense either. If the bastards get me/us it'll be the second time to loose my license to some lying arsehole cop.
I want blood, but first I/We gotta get off this....

As above.... wonder what the cop has in fact been told....

Lying? Hmmmm... "lets just say..."

Unfortunately it's more serious than just speeding or whatever. I probably shouldn't have even started discussing it on here, because he's a member and hasn't discussed it here himself. I don't want to be the blabbermouth.

On the other hand, in some ways experiences like this need to be blabbed about because then you find out how many other sensible, law-abiding, innocent people are being falsely accused and denied due process!

Can only be talking about Careless Use. Anything else higher than that carries mandatory disqualification and imprisonment options. If they can't be located/fail to appear for a fines only matter, they are dealt with in your absence. Otherwise, more serious matters which carry penalties of disqualification/imprisonment, a warrant is issued for your arrest.

As a professional Lawyer I would have thought a constructive argument would have been free from abuse and snide remarks.......speaks volumes about you-your services will not be needed!

Perhaps you should at some stage be invloved in purchasing the services of a lawyer specialising in trafic and see how satisfied you are with the result.

Geez SPB - you challenge the integrity of ALL lawyers, and he responds? You didn't see that coming?

This rings a bell..... kinda like an ALL cops are arseholes/anti cop thread, but its an anti lawyer one for a change... Oh hang on... it is an anti cop one... I think...

the only person who wins at court are laywers, cops and judges/court staff.

Of course it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 9999999999999 percent of those who appear in court are as guilty as sin to start with?

Woz working late at a client site last night, a legal practise.
Hanging on the wall is a sketch of 2 farmers looking frustrated, arguing over a cow and a lawyer on a stool milking the cow.

Pretty much sums it up really.
