Law TNT

In the pre-Internet age, it was difficult for law firms to publicize their services. State laws imposed strict limits on the way law firms were permitted to advertise, and even now, law firm websites have to publish disclaimers that they are providing marketing information only and not giving legal advice.

This gave law firms only a few options to market themselves. They could place their law firm’s name in the yellow pages or pay to be listed in the Martindale Hubbell, the famous encyclopedia of lawyers worldwide.

Law firms used to rely almost exclusively on their firm’s good reputation to draw in new business. Word of mouth recommendations by satisfied clients were key to a law firm’s survival. Famous litigators never lacked for clients because they would have newspaper or television coverage of their trials, but an average law firm with a clientele of low-profile companies would be off the radar.

Before law firms began developing their own websites, unless a potential client already knew about a particular law firm’s or a particular attorney’s expertise, they would have to consult with their friends and acquaintances, explaining the nature of their legal problem, and hope that the referral they received would be a good one. The bad news is that if a law firm neglects to create a quality website or does not bother to monitor the way its name comes up on the internet, there is a good chance that potential customers doing a web search on the law firm’s name could come up with information which may be detrimental to the client’s assessment of whether to engage the firm. If only for this reason, it’s crucial that a law firm pay attention to how they use the internet to market their services. Many law firms have links on their websites to articles about the particular legal issues that they specialize in, such as estate planning or immigration law. These articles can be the determining factor for potential clients in deciding to contact the firm.

A law firm website should list where each attorney holds their bar membership or other certifications.

Many larger law firms publish lists of representative corporate clients. In addition to demonstrating the breadth and quality of their law practice, this kind of listing also helps a potential client find out whether there might be a conflict of interest in their seeking to engage the law firm. Depending upon the kind of dispute and the size of the law firm, these conflicts often can be worked out by creating filewalls between the attorneys representing conflicting parties, but only if there is not a direct conflict.

It’s important to include information on the locations of any of the firm’s satellite offices. Potential clients who need a particular kind of legal representation will be more inclined towards a firm that has nearby offices even if the firm’s flagship office is in another state.

Law firms creating or updating their websites should highlight information that potential clients want to know, such as office locations and contact numbers, succinct information about their practice area expertise, and links to attorney biographies and informational articles about the practice.

Most people when the think of the word lemon, they think the sour, tangy and yellow fruit. What some people dont know is that the word “lemon” also has a slang meaning that has become very popular over the years, especially in the automotive industry. This slang is commonly known as “Lemon Law”

Even though the term lemon is more commonly used to describe a cheap and junky car, it can be used for just about any merchandise that is faulty, poorly made, or broken. For example; someone is walking home one day and sees a flashy watch on sale. They try the watch on, checking over to make sure nothing was wrong with it and decide to buy it. When they get home it stops working and it appears broken. They call their friend and tell them “I bought this watch today, it looked like such a good deal, but when I got it home, it turned out to be a lemon!” This is only an example and one must realize that “lemons” exist in nearly all forums of products and services.

Using the word lemon this way has most likely become increasingly popular due to the many companies and crooked car sales men selling faulty products. In fact there is even a “Lemon Law” that obligates manufacturers or sellers to repair, replace, or refund the price of a motor vehicle if it proves to be defective. It is a good idea to become familiar with this law so that if you happen to purchase a lemon from a reputable manufacture, you can probably sue them for your money back.

If you are about to file a lemon lawsuit, you will undoubtedly need a lemon lawyer. Lemon lawyers are usually available for a fair price; however, you need to watch out so that you dont hire yourself a lemon to fight a lemon!

There are a couple of loopholes in the law of attraction that will allow you to get faster results with the law of attraction. These loopholes are natural parts of the law of attraction, but are seldom discussed or talked about. Developing an understanding of these loopholes will allow you to sky rocket your results and attract and manifest what you want faster than you could ever imagine. Here they are:

1. Ego can be your friend, or your enemy. Ego is that little part of our brain that allows us to differentiate things. It labels a table as a table, or a car as a car. It’s job is to allow us to navigate the world through association. The problem is that ego needs attention, and a lot of it.

Ego feels the need to be noticed, to be known. It’s that part of us that refuses to be wrong. It needs to be right, all the time. Even when it’s wrong. This can be a problem for us if we don’t keep ego in check. It’s good that ego is there. Without ego, we would forget that fire is hot, or that there are people who are willing to lie and manipulate. But we can’t let ego rule.

For many people, ego rules. We must learn to let ego be right, but allow ego to be right in ways that serves us. When working with the law of attraction, we must teach ego that staying focused on what we want, and knowing that we have it now is the correct answer. Ego wants to say that it’s not ours yet and it’s still in the future. Convince ego that it’s already yours, and allow ego to run rampant in this way.

2. Emotions are our friends, and our addictions. Each and every one of us is addicted to our emotions. Some of us are more addicted to negative emotions than others, but everyone is addicted to emotions. They can also be our friend, or our enemy.

We cannot even direct our eyes or hear a sound without having an emotional response to that stimuli. The problem is that many people have become addicted to emotions that do not serve them or that cause them to keep repeating the same reality over and over again. We must learn to develop emotional addictions to emotions that will move us in the direction we want to go.

The more we feel happy, joyful, excited, passionate, the more we become addicted to those emotions. Continuously feeling these emotions allows us to develop an addiction for those emotions and allows us to attract what we want into our lives faster. The problem for most people is that they are addicted to negative emotions and continue to attract negative situations and circumstances in their lives.

3. The first step is always the hardest, but the most rewarding. Everyone has had the experience of pushing something. Let’s take a car for example. We all know that a car sitting still in neutral is difficult to get moving. But once it’s moving, we just have to keep pushing.

Advancement and the law of attraction is the same. Many people will get started and barely get it moving before they give up. They never give themselves a chance to start recognizing and seeing any progress. They expect to get instant results and completely undo years upon years of programming in just a few days or weeks. This is unrealistic as an expectation.

We have to undo specific habits, specific thought patterns, specific emotional addictions in order to start making real progress. This takes a little bit of time and a lot of practice to do. There are techniques that the Wealthy Life Secrets program offers to help speed this up exponentially, however, it still takes a little bit of time and practice.

We must start though, and we must keep pushing. We wouldn’t start pushing our car if it broke down on a four lane highway and give up after five steps because it got a little bit difficult. We would keep pushing until it was some place that others are much less likely to hit it.

The same is true for the law of attraction. We must keep pushing, and pushing, and pushing until we get to where we need to be and are able to naturally create and manifest the life we want to live in the shortest amount of time possible. At a certain point, you will simply manifest those things you desire with very little to no effort, simply because you have habituated the ability to feel, think, and be as you need to in order to manifest.

Whether you are aware of it or not, the law of attraction is constantly affecting your life. Unfortunately, if you dont control your feelings and your thoughts, which send messages to the Universe in the form of vibrations, this law is not likely working in your favor much of the time. You can change that, though, if you follow some basic (but powerful) law of attraction tips. By doing so, you can begin to attract the things you want in your life, such as wealth, love, or even your dream car. This article discusses two powerful law of attraction tips to help you.

Know Exactly What You Do Want

One of the most important law of attraction tips anyone can give you is this: you need to be crystal clear regarding what you want to attract into your life. Typically, when people first hear about the law of attraction, they write down everything they want. Their list usually includes things like to have lots of money, or to fall in love, etc.

The problem is, those are rather vague desires, and vague doesnt work when it comes to law of attraction tips. For example, lots of money to one person may be several hundred dollars, whereas for someone else, it may be millions of dollars. And the Universe cant tell the difference!

If your idea of lots of money is in the millions, youre probably not going to be thrilled with a hundred extra dollars every two months! So, for this first of the law of attraction tips, it is essential that you understand that being vague just wont work.

Clarity regarding your desires is a key factor in all law of attraction tips. You have to be really specific, so the Universe can know precisely what you want to attract. If its lots of money, then state exactly how much. If it is to fall in love, then describe that relationship that perfect partner in detail. You are much more likely to attract your desires when you are very clear and specific.

Picture it in Your Mind, Tapping into All Your Senses

Visualizing your desires as if they were all in your life today not tomorrow or next year is one of the most effective law of attraction tips. However, when most people visualize, they just create a mental picture. The only sense they use is sight. They see what they want, but they dont also imagine how it feels to the touch, or how it smells, or sounds, or tastes. The more you can tap into all of your senses (as well as your emotions) when you visualize, the better!

For example, lets say you really want to attract your dream home. When you picture it in your mind, dont just focus on what it would look like. Imagine what the steps feel like as you walk up them towards the door. When you open the door, imagine how your new home would smell? What sounds would you hear? Would there be music playing? Or a fire crackling in the fireplace? What would the furniture feel like when you sit on it? How would the dinner your cooked in your dream kitchen taste? These law of attraction tips work best when you engage all your senses!

The more law of attraction tips you can learn, the better. However, the two law of attraction tips discussed here are two of the most powerful. If you apply them regularly in your life, you will find yourself attracting your desires more readily than you ever thought possible!

Company law is full of confusing terms, and if you don’t know what they mean then settung up a company can start to look far more scary than it really should be. Read through this jargon buster and you should find it much easier to understand what starting up is all about.

Capital. This is money that is going to be invested in a business. Example: ‘I am starting my business with $5,000 capital, $2,000 of which is my own’.

Contract. When you sign a legal document, you are entering into a contract. Starting a business lets you sign and enter into contracts on behalf of the business — the contract will be between the other person and your company, not you.

Director. The people ultimately in charge of a company are its directors. For a large company, there will be a boards of directors, appointed by the shareholders. For a home business, though, you can appoint yourself as the sole director since you are also the sole shareholder (see ‘shareholder’).

Incorporation. This is the formal name for the process of starting a company. Example: ‘My business was incorporated in March 2000’.

Insolvency. When a company cannot afford to pay its debts. The type of company you have set up will affect what happens in this situation — you may be liable for all of the debt yourself, or for none.

Limited liability. A limited liability company is one where you agree beforehand how much responsibility you will take if anything goes wrong. This protects you from being destroyed financially if something bad happens to your business.

Office. Your company’s ‘office’ isn’t just a place with computers — it’s also a legal concept, meaning where your company is based. Your company must have a registered office, which means that you can’t start a company unless you have an address which would be legal to use for this purpose.

Private. A home business will be private, which means that members of the public cannot invest by buying shares. This does not stop individuals from buying percentages of your company if you are willing to sell, though. Starting your company as a private one also doesn’t stop you from converting it to a public one later on.

Proxy. Someone who acts as a proxy for you acts on your behalf — you have given them the legal right to speak for you. For example, if you get a lawyer to handle the incorporation of your company, they will be incorporating it for you by proxy.

Shareholders. The shareholders are the people who own the company. In your company, you will be the only shareholder (and so own 100% of your business), unless you’ve made a deal with someone else for them to own a share.

Latin.

When you’re dealing with law, the amount of Latin involved can be confusing. Here are some Latin terms you might come across when you’re setting up your company.

Bona fide: ‘in good faith’. This is used to mean that someone says they are telling the truth.

De facto: ‘in fact’. Used when something has happened that makes the ‘real’ situation take precedence from the legal one.

De jure: ‘in law’. The opposite of de facto.

Ex gratia, ‘out of grace’. When something will be done for no fee.

Prima facie, ‘at first sight’. Something that seems true but is wrong.

Quid pro quo, ‘something for something’. When a fee will be charged for a service (or services will be exchanged).

Be Careful with Jargon.

However much jargon you might begin to encounter as you start your business, don’t start to use it yourself. It will make it so that only ‘insiders’ will understand what you mean, and everyone else will feel either a little silly or a little annoyed. By the same token, if you’re speaking to someone (your accountant, for example) and they use some jargon you don’t understand, there’s nothing wrong with asking them to explain what they mean — it’s their fault for using an overly technical word, not yours for not knowing it.

If you’re not sure, there’s a simple rule: jargon is for communicating very specific, technical meanings. It shouldn’t be used to replace everyday language, as it does nothing but cause confusion.
