Don't you people have anything better to do? I am jumping in and out of meetings today with pro bono clients, poor women from Brooklyn looking for help in realizing their small business dreams to escape a life of hopelessness.

Gotcha!:lifter

No, Not really.

Yeah, but I prefer this. :D

:rolleyes: :boohoo

Which begs the question: Were they DELIBERATE or INADVERTANT Pro Bono Clients?

I could understand short meetings with the inadvertant ones to say "Hey, give me my F'n money!" But the deliberate ones... isn't that just part of the daily schedule? :D :rolleyes:

FWIW, if he's doing pro bono work today, he really is tied up. Not the sort of thing you can just schedule quickly to avoid answering a tough question.

NDD, although I admit some concern that you may win this one, I'm keeping my money on AL getting an answer by end of the day tomorrow. Shall we make this interesting?

Interesting how?

A bet.

Stakes?

I want a bottle of the best tequila they make down there (or other liquor if they don't make good tequila) if I win.

No Tequila, Aguardiente

You already PMd him to see if he found the answer yet, didn't you?

Pro bono clients like this often take forever because you have to explain everything. One is a woman living in the projects trying to start a mail order company. With a typical corporate client, you might start talking about the advantages of an LLC over an S Corp. With her, you first had to explain what an LLC was, what limited liability means in concrete terms, etc. Your typical corporate client is already intimately familiar with the concept of double taxation, but here you have to start from the beginning.

OK, and if you win, what do you want? No, I did not cheat.
