Once in a while, we all have a lapse in judgment, which leads us to make some pretty bad decisions.
However, some of us tend to make dumber decisions than others, landing us in some pretty deep shit with the law.
When you find yourself in serious legal trouble, everyone knows that the first person you better call is your lawyer.
If you don't happen to have your own personal version of Saul Goodman on retainer, don't worry.
It turns out you can still get some pretty solid legal advice without the hefty hourly rate, thanks to a man named L. Scott Briscoe.
Briscoe is a lawyer from West Virginia, who's learned a whole lot about the legal system since he started practicing law about 19 years ago.
This clever lawyer also happens to have a sense of humor, so he shares all of the comical things he's learned in the courtroom over the years on his Facebook page, fittingly called "L. Scott Briscoe's Free Legal Tips."
His legal tips touch on everything from the incorrect way to cheat on a drug test to specific t-shirts you should avoid while committing crimes to facial tattoos you might want to cover up for your court hearing.
While none of his advice is guaranteed to win your case, it is free, so you'll have more money in your bank account when it comes time to make bail, at least.
Check out the posts below to see some more of Briscoe's best legal advice:
