About the Avitar....Hmm. I really assumed he meant the car in his avatar.
I think he meant a motorcycle...

A provider I know paid her lawyer that way. A few sessions in exchange for him getting her case dismissed. And then later when one of her provider friends got in trouble she sent her to him and told her what to say and do to get the same deal. lucky bastard.

LOL!well, i'm not a lady by gender, but i would be honored and privileged to dress up in a french maid's outfit and clean your place top to bottom [i do litter boxes as well as windows, too] in a few hrs or less.
Ladies, I'll do you to clean my place. Originally Posted by anova444

Although I DO barter and love doing so, I found myself in a situation as mentioned above. I was royally screwed.
Also, I've heard many horror stories over the years from providers about how they screwed their lawyer in a good way, but then their lawyer screwed them in a bad way by not showing up for court or otherwise doing what he promised to do.
Finally, it is not uncommon for an attorney and a client to get into a dispute. When sex is involved and emotions run high, it's possible either party may surrender to their baser instincts and use the relationship against the other. So I think a provider and her attorney should keep it on the up and up, and not do the in and out. Originally Posted by ShysterJon
