Currently nearly everyone is a somewhat strapped for cash and this has not been made any easy with the depreciating value of former very viable investment options such as real estate. Unique though is the fact that precious metals and stones have continued gaining value despite harsh economic times. Silver, gold, diamonds etc have had their value appreciating probably because their supply is continuously falling. Gold and diamonds may be out of the league of many but silver is somewhat cheaper. One can access silver in the form of silver bullion coins or bars.Investing in silver coin bullion makes a lot of investment sense especially in the current world economy which is marred by currency inflation like never before. In the past few years the US dollar has gradually fallen in value as a result of government debts and yet minting of money continues unperturbed. The result of this is that the value of the dollar is diminishing quite fast. In this case, if your wealth is in cash form then your wealth is reducing but with your money in the form of silver bullion coins and bars you know your wealth value keeps appreciating by the day.Silver bullion coins remain the most...more

After one has been wronged, often one wishes to get justice as quickly as possible. Often, people pick a lawyer in too much a hurry. It's worthwhile to slow down and interview a lawyer carefully before signing their retainer agreement.Even if you have a recommendation from a friend, there is no guarantee that your legal situation will be handled as well as your friend's was. If your friend or associate's recommendation seems good, go with it, at least at first.Contact your State Bar - an association of lawyers in your state. Almost every State Bar has a referral system where you can meet with a lawyer for half an hour about your case for a very reasonable fee.An ideal lawyer has good experience, technical ability, accountability, billing, attitude, and customer service.Make sure your lawyer works in the field you need. E.g., do not pick a divorce lawyer for a business fraud dispute. Often it's worth spending more for a lawyer that specializes in your kind of case. This is because a specialist often can do more effective work per hour, than one that has to brush up on the laws and issues related to your case.A good lawyer:* Explains things in plain English.* Listens to...more
