Handel on the Law - Best Of
Summary
Bill Handel offers satirical legal advice to callers with absurd or hopeless cases. He dismisses a hotel removal claim, jokes about a widow’s debt liability, and insists on proper eviction procedures for a son. Handel suggests small claims for a furniture dispute and hit-and-run, while warning against frivolous medical malpractice suits. He concludes by advising a homeowner to sue a negligent contractor for water damage.
