As Dirty Harry stated in Magnum Force, "a man has got to know his limitations." In this internet age, there is a great deal of information available on a seemingly endless number of subjects by a variety of people of varying qualifications. When it comes to employment law, my area of expertise, I see individuals attempt to represent themselves in serious matters in the misguided belief that googling a couple articles about sexual harassment makes her a subject matter expert and on par with a highly trained and experienced employment lawyer. Those cases invariably do not end well for these misguided plaintiffs. Companies need to recognize when they need legal advice as well unless HR or the CEO are going to defend your next wrongful discharge case.
If you are having employment problems, promptly seek the advice of a qualified lawyer. In other areas, seek out advice and help from qualified subject matter experts. I am not going to have my tonsils taken out by an assistant manager at the hardware store who watched a couple you tube videos on the subject. Changing your own door locks and litigating your own case are vastly different things. If you believe otherwise, don't say Dirty Harry didn't warn you. www.employmentlawman.com/monday-morning-musings.html
