I am going to write a series of articles on a topic that everyone likes: money. Specifically, I am going to give some tips on saving legal fees. Here is the first article in the series.

This is the first in a series of articles on how to reduce your legal bills.

I had a big win at trial yesterday. After the prosecution rested its case, I presented an opinion that I had prepared beforehand and asked for the case to be dismissed. The judge threw it out!
