"There's no reason to tell anyone what you do for a living, unless you think it will help you to pull. Seeing as you've found that it doesn't help you, I'd have thought you'd try another approach " That would be an intelligent approach.. | |||
"It's not important I grant you that, I just feel comfortable being open with others on here. " no one else is, there must be a reason | |||

"Don't let them know you're a solicitor. Or just another lonely man thread who needs pity" I'm hardly pitiful, merely curious. | |||

"I try to be as open as I can on my profile also when I send an opening message on here, I let people know what I do for a living i.e. I'm a solicitor.

"The Madam opened the brothel door in New Orleans and saw a rather dignified, well-dressed, good-looking man in his late forties or early fifties. —”May I help you sir”’ she asked. —”I want to see Valerie, please,” the man replied. —”Sir, Valerie is one of our most expensive ladies. Perhaps you would prefer someone else”, said the Madam. —”No, Ma’am, I must see Valerie,” he replied with determination. Just then, Valerie appeared and announced to the man. She charged $5,000 a visit. Without hesitation, the man pulled out five thousand dollars from his wallet and gave them to Valerie, and they went upstairs. After an hour, the man left calmly. The next evening, the well-dressed man appeared again, once more demanding to see Valerie. Valerie explained that no one had ever come back two nights in a row, as she was too expensive. There were no discounts. The price was still $5,000. Again, the man pulled out the money, gave it to Valerie, and they went upstairs. After an hour, he left. The following night the man was there yet again. Everyone was astounded that he had come for a third consecutive night, but he paid Valerie and they went upstairs. After their session, Valerie said to the distinguished customer, “No one has ever been with me three nights in a row. Where are you from?” —The man replied, “Wichita, Kansas”. —”Really”, she said. “I have family in Wichita.” —”I know.” the man said. “Your sister died, and I am her attorney. She asked me to give you your $15,000 inheritance.” The moral of the story is that three things in life are certain:" You missed out the punch line! | |||
"well they are money grabbing scrum that do not give you a strain answer for one. £750 just a simple house sale. " You pay them not to make simple mistakes. | |||
"Talking of solicitors, I am selling a vacant house for £57k, how much will it cost for convayancing, near Liverpool?" Do you need a solicitor when you're selling? | |||

" Following on from Granny, i prefer this one : A coach load of Lawyers on their way to a conference crash into a farmer's property. By the time the Police have got there the farmer has had his JCB out and buried them all. "Weren't there are survivors at all" asked the Police. "Well, some of them said they were alive but you know what lying cunts they are, so i buried them". " Justice indeed | |||

"See the Barristers thread. Basically, you are allowed to earn but not too much and it does you no good at all to be so uppity as to qualify in your profession. Save what you do for when you start to communicate if you feel the need to tell. " Or you could see the case of the Barrister sentenced to and actually serving time for Perverting the Course of Justice. Released early due to being "not fit" to serve time, yet practising again within the week. One would think that the man, or woman, or BLGT, on the Clapham Omnibus would agree that he should've been barred from his profession for life. One would think so but apparently not. | |||

The case mentionned gives an insight. | |||

"Talking of solicitors, I am selling a vacant house for £57k, how much will it cost for convayancing, near Liverpool? Do you need a solicitor when you're selling? apparently yes, " I think the law in England changed in 2013 so people can sell without a solicitor. Maybe one of our resident solicitors can advise. | |||

"Canis, there ws no need for the remark you gave. Barristers and solicitors are not the same. And as others have said, don't tell people your profession, it's the same with other professions of peoiple that are on here. They are just frowned upon. xx" Thanks Lynne | |||

"The problem solicitors face is that their work tends to be of a non recurring nature and often a one off job for a client that they may not act for again - hence they tend to make hay while the sun shines and maximise their charges " That sounds like more of a problem for their clients. | |||

"I have no issue with solicitors. I can't see why anybody would announce their profession, except than to try and impress. If that strategy has failed, rethink it." Announce their profession AND put a head and shoulders photograph on their profile. | |||

"Some jealousy Some bad experiences Some believing the media And loads of others reasons Just be you " That's about it jealousy, misinformation and not getting them of the last 3 shoplifting cases makes people bitter. | |||

" Why do you feel the need to tell people what you do for a living? Especially in your first message. If you sent me a first message saying you are a solicitor I would wonder if you are bragging. I would also wonder if that is your way of telling me you have money. As a solicitor I am staggered you don't know why people have such a low opinion of solicitors. | |||
