Dothan Lawyers Alarm

[WiregrassTiger]

Warning: It has long been established that lawyers make too much money but they make waaaaay too much money in the circle city. Do not try to pull out onto a thoroughfare behind an ambulance in the circle city. Fair and balanced, al reports: DOTHAN, Alabama -- Alabama lawyers wanting to bring in the cash flow don't have to look too far. Business Insider recently named Dothan as one of the five U.S. cities where lawyers make the most money.

And now we know the rest of the story.

While there are attorneys who make a substantial amount of money, there are also a significant number of attorneys who do not.  Almost one-fourth of attorneys in Alabama made $25,000 or less before taxes in 2009.

We're still all evil sons of bitches; we're just not all rich evil sons of bitches.

See, why do you have to try to confuse things with facts and stuff? Bottom line, we need wealth redistribution from others to me.

Sometimes, but not as often as people would think.

Attorneys who make lots of money typically have prominent clients.  Prominent clients are more often than not business entities.  Business entities want to be able to take deductions for their expenses.  Payments for legal services rendered to business entities can often be deducted.  It doesn't behoove businesses to pay attorneys cash under the table, because then they have no way of deducting those expenses.

Same thing goes for large firms who have associates and junior partners which make $100,000+ a year.  The wages they pay their employees are deductible.  Pay them in cash and you can't deduct it.  Not to mention that I've never seen a large firm handle their payroll in cash.

I don't doubt that many attorneys receive cash and don't report it, but I don't think it happens quite as often and in as large amounts as many people think.  I highly doubt that the 27% of full-time attorneys who reported making less than $50,000 a year before taxes have tons of cash payments that they're hiding which would significantly increase their income.

Sure, but I don't give any legal advice while doing the helicopter dick in front of one of my Johns.

Maybe they should just move to Dothan. I wish we could get some Dothan atty input or maybe someone could come to their defense? Although, they do have the right to remain silent.

Always ask for the cash price.
