Avocet
(Attorney at Law)
By William Long

“A good lawyer, you get your money’s worth. I have used David on three different license related issues. I have recommended him to many friends all with excellent results.”

Sometimes we are forced to make the call, sometimes we just decide to make the call, and sometimes we get the call. In the form of a letter.
What is the call you say? Call My Attorney! Ah ha! now you’ve done it, because once this right is invoked the wheels of justice begin their eerily slow revolutions leading to what, if it is your lucky day, is ironically referred to as a speedy trial.
The call is usually to bring about some resolution to the problems of life which invariably come along. Problems that because of their very existence create conflict with that antique parchment drafted and signed by our forefathers, many, many years ago, called the Constitution of the United States of America. The Law, the governing authority that allows us to maintain a civil society without anarchy or monarchy.
Under the law there is a group of people who are known as officers of the court. We know them as Judges, Attorneys, (British solicitors in lower courts and barristers in higher courts), court clerks bailiffs and court reporters. But between you and I and our heroes of justice if you will, there exists this three tiered buffer of law enforcement better known as police officers sheriffs and Marshalls, the FBI CIA, ATF and DEA. They, represent city, state and federal law enforcement officers who in my view are there to usher us into the world of the attorney. Although they are members of law enforcement and are an essential part of the legal system they are not officers of the court.
They too are required to enlist the services of the Avocet. (Attorney at Law).
