But this time I decided to allow it to be posted because I want to say this... Did you read what you posted? "A lawyer is more important for a safety"? What the hell does that mean? Nothing about your post makes any sense at all. Nobody is going to hire a lawyer who cannot Lynne Butler, BA LLBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09790353197833765108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436024129575354145.post-1218420078136672102018-05-10T00:15:28.157-07:002018-05-10T00:15:28.157-07:00Family Law Attorneys It is really a wonderful blog...<a href="https://girolaw.com/our-attorneys/" rel="nofollow">Family Law Attorneys</a> It is really a wonderful blog.because now a day family lawyer is more important for a safety .So thanks a lot and i appreciated this post...girolawnjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781676908706767298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436024129575354145.post-47097235347153211552017-08-20T14:39:12.655-07:002017-08-20T14:39:12.655-07:00Lynne, after what I have been through you might th...Lynne, after what I have been through you might think differently.

I never received an interim bill in 5 years. I now know what he was doing. He did get off the record. I took him to Assessment Court (On) and sent my excellent presentation/ documentation to the Assessment Officer. I paid a fee.
