Law Office of Orlando R Rodriguez, LLC

What is your firm's point of view regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?

Sy Syms said, "An educated consumer is our best customer." This applies to our customers as well, to an extent. Sy's business was retail clothing. His point was that if you shopped around you'd end up buying from his stores. After all, a coat is a coat, right? However, what we are selling is our years of experience and legal education. You may be able to Google your issue and gain valuable research, but it's what you do with that research that counts. If you find a case similar to yours, it's helpful but you still have to navigate the myriad rules of the court to present your findings. Ultimately, however, making a bad choice in a retail sale won't penalize you with jail time or a hefty fine. Even the Fashion Police can't do that yet!
