Lest We Forget

FrontPage 2002

 

          

 

 

        Whether or not you love Obama, it has become pretty clear that  his fiscal policies are causing this country to slip further into recession. His latest budget put this country over Three Trillion dollars  (with a capital T) in debt. The State of California isn't doing any better either, businesses are leaving California like rats leaving a sinking ship and taking their jobs with them.  What makes it worse is that neither Obama  nor Schwarzenegger   have a clue as to how to turn our country around. We can no longer accept the tax and spend method as the way to prosperity. Instead we have to shrink government, cut taxes and kick start our economy and we have to do it now.  We have to lay off government workers, simply because we can no longer afford to give government workers Cadillac health care and retirement programs that are Bankrupting the Country.  We have to cut the fat out of our government and rid ourselves of Politicians who think that passing a two thousand page bill because their party tells them to do it, without actually knowing what is in it, is actually  good for the people. They forget that they work for the people and not the other way around.  With the politicians  out of ideas except how  to raise taxes and keep spending, I am afraid that it may be several years before we get out of this mess. We have to make a radical change with the structuring of our political system, because continuing on with business as usual will result in all of us, both Republican and Democrat, being put in the breadline. So if there is  a solution, it is up to we, the people to craft it and not the politicians. If we pretend that we do not have a way to handle our problems, we will end up in a bucket of doo-doo.            

 

        So I ask you "Are you afraid of the financial situation that is hampering this country's ability to function?" Well everyone is in the same boat as you are.  If you ignore the problems that you have, you only make it worse, not better. Right now, many people are filing for bankruptcy because of the financial problems that they are having.  Those that are not filing for Bankruptcy  are doing nothing but hunkering down and trying to weather the storm.  If this continues we may actually cause the country itself to go Bankrupt. It is time for decisive action and not to stay the course.  Maybe you are one of these people who are trying to either bury your head in the sand or hoping that your problems will just go away. Well they won't and somewhere in your intellect you know that hoping or ignoring a problem will only exacerbate the problem. The longer that you put off dealing with your problems realistically, the harder they will be to deal with later on. The sooner that we admit that we made a huge mistake in electing Obama and keeping the Democrats in control the sooner we can correct it.

 

        After all they swore allegiance to Obama's socialist ideas instead what the People of the United States wanted. They forgot who they work for and they will pay for their mistake in the 2010 election. I can honestly say that I have never seen the people of the United States angrier than they are right  now. The dumb democrats believe that what they did will be overlooked by the people, because they believe that Pelosi and Obama are in charge and they can actually govern against the will of the people. No political party can govern against the will of the people and that applies to the Democrats as well.  What can, we as a people, do in the mean time? When the American people put their minds to it, they are unbeatable. We have to look to ourselves for the answers to the problems and not to Sacramento or Washington for the answers because they don't have any, except for raising taxes and trying to fool and lie to you. Doesn't that just piss you off because it certainly does me.  How dare they think that they can lie to the people that they represent. and assume that we will sit still for it.  I warn the Republicans that they had better learn from the mistakes of the Democrats, and not try to govern against the will of the people because we will hold your party as culpable as we now hold the Democrats.

 

  

        Enough ranting about  the state  of the economy, what I ask you is what can we do to help you?  Until we can change things, we are going to have to live  with our problems. Just because Obama lives in a castle in the Sky doesn't mean that we do. We still have the problems that have always plagued us. Divorce, Adoption, Criminal cases, Bankruptcy, Landlord-tenant and other legal problems which  won't wait for us to turn around Washington or Sacramento.  It's those problems that I deal with. There is plenty of things that I can do to help you out of your legal problems. Let's look at what our over thirty years of experience can do for you. What we bring to your case is a level of experience that others only talk about. We don't just talk about what we do, rather we deliver on our promise to provide you with the best level of services possible at the best possible price.  We believe in being open and honest with our clients, so you  will receive a complete estimate of costs before you invest a single dime with us. You even receive a free initial consultation and we have numerous ways that can help you afford our services, including payment plans.  I ask you, what more could you hope to get from any other law firm? We take on the risk for you by allowing everything to be borne by us instead of you. The only thing that you need to do is to pick up the phone and call (626) 797-5001 and make a no cost, no obligation, appointment so that we can evaluate your problem, at no costs to you.  After all, what have you got to lose? Just your fear, that's all.

     

 

        We are dedicated to bringing each of you the highest level of accuracy  as  it pertains to  everything that you  see posted here. We are  not interested  in awing  you with  gimmicks that others use on their sites. We assume that if you were smart enough to seek us out, then we can safely assume that what you are looking for is knowledge and experience, not gimmicks.

Let me show you exactly what services that we offer. Starting with our Second Opinion Service.

 

Our Second Opinion Service:

 

        The legal system is a scary enough place without having to worry if your case is  being handled properly. I know that  you have heard the horror stories from your friends, and frankly you are concerned. Concerned? Who are you kidding? You are scared to death and taking into account the existing financial situation,  I don't blame you! During the last few months we have received numerous  calls from people who are scared and want someone to review their case and tell them if they have a problem or not.  Up until now they didn't have a place that they could trust to do the review. We are now providing a low cost alternative to living in fear and dread. You may have already hired an attorney to represent you or you are representing yourself and now you are in over your head. You just don't know what to do.  We have the answer.

 

        You don't want to be another victim of  a legal system that you don't really understand. You can relax, because you have come to the right place.  You don't have to be a victim anymore because you now have the Second Opinion Service  working for you. This  site was created  with you in mind.  We remove your  fear and replace it with reliable information, written in plain English, and not legal gibberish that you don't understand.  Is your current attorney not returning your calls? Is he or she talking down to you and treating you like a moron? Well you don't have to take it anymore. You need a Second Opinion  and you need it now. You  can now get a low cost second opinion without any further obligation. Now you can't beat that, can you? We have helped many people through our Second Opinion Service get on the right track and we can help you too.

 

        We believe that by providing you with reliable information, you will receive incredible  personal power to make the good decisions.

You can call us.  We start over from the beginning and examine everything that has been done. We will examine the factual and legal issues that impact your case. We will examine everything that you have done so far with an eye to understanding where you went wrong.

Our Other Services:

Obviously we hope that when you decide to hire an attorney, you will give us an opportunity to demonstrate the difference that we can make for you.

The second part of the article has to do with the so-called Freeman type custody and visitation orders. I also provide some guidance regarding the best way to handle setting  up a custody and visitation order. The so-called Freeman Order.

The Anthony J. Robinson Advantage

Our Technological Advantage:

Our Personal Service Advantage:

     We  find that many attorneys are still practicing law the way Abraham Lincoln did. The problem is that the world has changed so fast  that you cannot practice that way and truly be competent.  The world has become so complex, that it is far beyond the ability of many people to cope with.  Unless your attorney is utilizing the very latest computer programs  and keeping abreast of  changes in the law, you are not receiving the best service that you should. 

     We give you the service others only  talk about. When we are working on your case, you get the same level of aggressive representation as you would expect from a large law firm. Yet we  are still able to provide you with  the  personal service that  you expect from your own neighborhood  family lawyer.  Our clients  work together with us as a team in case preparation and presentation. These real world differences result in real money savings that you can see for yourself.

Our Difference

Our Mission Statement

     When we first went into practice, we wanted our firm to be different from all the others. The single largest complaint  that we heard over and over was that people  were tired of feeling that their lawyers really didn't care about them or their needs. They were tired of their lawyer never being available to take their calls, answer their questions or explain what was happening. They made it perfectly clear  that what they wanted most from their lawyers was personal attention and service.  We provide the service that others only talk about. That is the difference between our firm and the others.

 

 

  1. We will provide the level of service others only talk about. 

  2. We will always tell you the absolute truth, even if you would rather not know it. 

  3. We will always treat you as a valuable member of our  legal team. 

  4. We will promptly return your calls, answer your questions and keep you informed at each stage of the proceedings involving your case.

  5. We will listen to the needs of each and every one of our clients and tailor our representation of each client to specifically meet their individual needs.

 

Don't Know What is Going On? Still Not Convinced?

 

        You may have already hired an attorney to represent you and you can't find them with a search party. Maybe you are representing yourself and  now you realize that you are in over your head.  So what  can you do to protect yourself? You can call us.  We start over from the beginning and examine everything that has been done. We will examine the factual and legal issues that impact your case. After we have examined and understand each aspect of your case, we will give you an informed and unbiased opinion. We don't pull punches and we won't tell you something merely to make you feel better. What we will give you is the unvarnished truth. It is up to you to use that information wisely.  We provide a low cost alternative to living in fear and dread. Don't let fear hold you back, make that call today. 

 

Do I Really Need A Lawyer?

Second Opinion

       If you are just not sure whether or not you need or can afford the services of an attorney, may we suggest that you click on the "Need an Attorney?" button at the top of the page.  By doing this simple act, you will be able, in the privacy of your own home, to read and consider information concerning your options. By doing so we hope that you will make a well informed decision.

      Is your current attorney not returning your calls? If they do return your call, do they talk down to you? Do they treat you like a moron?  You don't  have to take this shoddy treatment  anymore. You have come to the right place and we can help. In fact this  site was created  with you in mind.

    We remove your  fear and replace it with reliable information, in plain English, and not legal gibberish that you don't understand. You need a "Second Opinion" and you need it now. Our new service will allow you to get a low cost second opinion without any further obligation.

        We also provide free information and informative articles for our clients. We try and gauge our articles to matters that  are of common interest to our clients. We try and keep the articles interesting, without sounding preachy by keeping to the subject of the article without getting involved with the political  issues. Although where appropriate we will interject the political aspects of certain topics where they  are germane to the discussion. An example would be rent control. Obviously this is a highly charged topic to people on both sides of the controversy. We also produce articles that have to do with changes to the law. In order to access these sections refer to the following section.
