15 Real-World Scenarios Where Bullsh*t Man Could Save The Day
5. No Win, No Fee - Get The Compensation You Deserve
Law firms claim to be incredibly generous. No-win-no-fee arrangements may sound like a no-brainer on paper, but they are really not that great. For one, these lawyers don't just take on any claim that comes through their doors. No, they will only take on the most straight-forward and clear-cut cases that are almost guaranteed to be successful; these guys don't take any chances. Although it is mostly true that they do keep to their promise of no win no fee, the other thing to note is that their success charges can be extortionate. Yes, they may win you large amounts of compensation, but their fees will bite you as you're walking out the door, leaving your bag of loot feeling a lot more shallow. There is a serious lack of transparency in most professional services these days. We always have to be wary of the small print or else we risk being ripped off by those who are willing to take advantage of our vulnerable positions. If you ever need compensation, be wary of no win no fee arrangements if they promise to get you 'the compensation you deserve' - it's probably bullsh*t.
My life is an odd blend of the real and surreal. By day I study law but by night I live my life vicariously through science fiction and fantasy, as a Whovian, gamer and writer.
