A Season in Hell #15: Radio Valencia: Ending the Muckraking with Ragi da Lawyer

Back on the A Season in Hell airwaves, Ragi da Lawyer, dismantling the legal system one nail at a time, takes your calls and offers FREE legal advice. Ragi is tired of taking phone calls from so many of his friends wanting free advice, so he takes it to the radio and offers it up for one hour. If you don't get through it's your own damn fault. Or mine. I may have just not wanted to answer the phone. Perhaps I have better questions than you do.
