A client came in to talk about -- whaddaya know, a traffic ticket. No big deal, violation vehicle registration, blah blah blah.
Additionally, though, he's been trying to get a copy of his birth certificate. In order to do that he had to fill out the form and send it in. Problem is, he can't write -- his fingers don't work; he figured since I was a paralegal, he could pay me to do it.
I'm so not gonna charge someone to fill out a form for them just because they can't write. That would be really, really rude, like charging to point a blind person towards the bathroom or something.
Makes me wonder if he's actually been asked to pay for similar tasks in the past. "Hey, could you check 'yes' on this for me? I can't hold a pen." "Ok, sure, that'll be twenty bucks." Whatever.
