Indisputable: MrRigorous.pro indisputably fills an obvious and urgent need. I'm a fresh long-overdue alternative to the three approaches discussed below. I'm giving you the detail because it's important and because it's a breath of fresh air of a new profession (perfect for certain types of retired lawyer).
Three traditional ways exposed: When needing someone to talk to about situations and problems, we tend, I think, to:-
try to tough it out in isolation; or
share it fruitlessly with unhelpful family and or friends (a problem shared can be a problem doubled); or
stampede into the clutches of an unnecessary annoying inept tenth-rate practising lawyer.
Those traditional approaches, equally miserable, are overrated. Ultimately, each can be expensive, inefficient, ineffective, imprudent and unpleasant. But whom else to go to? Until now, no-one.
The right person: Just having the right person to talk to easily yet professionally, as and when you need him, can be game-changing. That it's basically unheard of in any culture, ancient or modern, bespeaks how foolish and short-sighted we have all been, and how much worldly knowledge, talent and experience has been and continues to be wasted.
Anyone can do it: There's no reason why anyone, especially a retired lawyer, can't set up a professional consulting and advisory office to actually help regular folks. This seems to have never occurred to the general run of retired lawyers.
Some limits; otherwise limitless: In this new profession, the retired lawyer would not be expected to do, or agree to do, or do, anything properly reserved by local regulation exclusively to a practising lawyer. That leaves wide scope for a legitimate, substantial, sustainable, respectable practice, founded on decades of knowledge and experience, to include:-
consulting, advice, assistance, guidance, strategising, planning, modelling, problem-solving, etc. on a limitless range of financial, legal, practical and other situations, both personal and business
formal opinions on any subject. Per the natural and juridical laws of free speech, everyone is free to form and express an opinion about anything

The customer: Customers for this straightforward, obvious, sensible professional offering range from regular folks with issues that can be decisively resolved expeditiously (usually for free) to sophisticated busy millionaires wary and weary of being bored and exploited by unnecessary, tenth-rate practising lawyers and now looking for a different style of professional assistance: a retired lawyer with the profile of MrRigorous.pro to supervise and safeguard personal, business and legal interests, keep lawyers and other professionals in their places, and preempt all manner of difficulties. It sounds right and it sounds good.
The right stuff: Of course, this new profession will appeal only to retired lawyers of a certain mental makeup: structurally, a strong wish to preserve and put to good use a career lifetime of knowledge and experience; morally, an uncomplicated sincere desire to exert every effort to help people, especially in these insane times; intellectually, the drive to relentlessly analyse, clarify and resolve all sorts of legal, financial, technical and other situations; technically and tactically, an instinct and an innate talent to draft unanswerable communications to wrongdoers: irrefutable letters, reports, complaints, pleadings etc; strategically, an intuition for steering customers in the right directions out of harm's way, and so on. All this will resonate only with a limited number of retired lawyers.
Enter MrRigorous.pro: I consider MrRigorous.pro to be a new profession. I'm happy to inaugurate it and I take it seriously. MrRigorous.pro rigorously addresses personal and business situations efficiently, pragmatically, economically and realistically without the need for an unnecessary lawyer or other conventional professional. It places at the customer's disposal more than fifty years of personal and professional experience of law and life.
Eclectic: I'm seasoned, independent, intelligent, sensible, loyal and understanding. I enjoy getting my teeth into a wide variety of problems (this detailed website tells you more about what I do and how I do it). I have a no-nonsense approach to everything. Particular interests of mine, some discussed here, include:-
lawyers: all types of lawyer dysfunction, bungling, malpractice, fraud, criminality
insurance claims, and bad-faith claims handling by insurers and brokers: it's quite an industry
inheritance: all pre-death and post-death inheritance problems, especially inheritance crime
banks: the outrageous dysfunction, dishonesty and criminality of bad banks
divorce financial forensics, including false accounts, locating and securing hidden assets etc.
official and corporate dysfunction, incompetence and stupidity: it's everywhere and I don't like it.
