Legal-Ease: Approaching A Lawyer
confidence in your abilities -- i.e. if you're good enough to interest this person, then you're good enough to interest somebody else who will give you a fair deal. If you've chosen your lawyer wisely, then most times if your lawyer says "my advice to you is don't do this deal, because the things they're willing to give us aren't enough to make it worthwhile," you should have enough confidence in yourself and your lawyer to go with that.
An interesting point you might think of in terms of feeling "ripped off" in a deal: You may feel ripped off, but nobody really ripped you off. It's a business deal, and everyone is out to make the best business deal they can. So if (1.) they know a lot more than you know and (2.) they have a good lawyer and you don't use a lawyer and (3.) they end up "ripping you off," it's no different than if (1.) you're making a real estate deal with Donald Trump and (2.) you choose to let him make all the decisions and let his lawyers do all the paperwork, because (3.) you know that he knows a lot more about real estate. That would be like going to a record company and saying, "Well look, you know a lot more about all this than I do -- just give me whatever you think is right." Then later, you think you got ripped off. Hello. In truth, you just made a bad business deal, because you weren't savvy about it.
If you've chosen well and you're thinking straight, a lawyer can come in to help prevent that. Any objections?
