Amateur Legal Advice

I have something on my mind that has once again been brought to the fore by some recent events, so permit me to vent.

If I ever went to a hospital for surgery, I would probably run a mile (if my condition allowed it) if someone came in to my room and said, “I am not a doctor, but I am going to cut you open and remove your appendix, however, you should not consider that as being surgery as, again, I am not a doctor and don’t even play one on TV!”

The Editor and Primary Blogger for "The True Verdict" is Peter Romary.

Peter Romary is an attorney, arbitrator, mediator, diplomat, and internationally recognized expert in the areas of risk management, threat assessment and management, conflict resolution, and litigation risk management. He is also an expert in detection of deception and critical interviewing. He has worked and consulted for government and private-sector clients and has lectured to audiences around the world. In 2002, he was recognized by the National Law Journal as one of the “Top 40 Trial Lawyers Under 40 Years Old” in the U.S. He has been honored for his work in 14 states, and has received the highest civilian honors awarded by many of those states. Among his other honors are a knighthood, blessed by Pope John Paul II; the Ellis Island Medal of Honor; the American Police Hall of Fame Honor Award for Distinguished Public Service; and the National Crime Victim’s Bar Association Frank Carrington Champion of Civil Justice Award.
