GREAT LAKES LEGAL RESOURCES, PC—When you consider cutting back on expenses, consider outsourcing your legal research. An associate means salary, benefits, office space, office support staff, etc. It also means waiting for the new graduate to learn how to be an attorney. We are two retired attorneys. We don’t want an office, we stopped commuting, but we still love the law. Between us, we have more than 75 years of legal experience. We can answer your legal questions before your first year associate figures out what the question is. Our only overhead is our connection to Westlaw. Thus, we can provide you with the help you need for less than the cost of an associate. Try us the next time you have a question and don’t have time to answer it yourself. Writing samples on request. PO Box 409, Burkittsville, Maryland 21718; PO Box 93, Whitehall, MI 49461, or e-mail us at glakeslegal@yahoo.com.

RETIRING PRACTITIONERS WANTED—Don’t just close up shop. We can provide you office space and a practice transition program to acquire your practice and attend to your client’s needs while you enjoy the fruits ($$$) of your years of service.
