    Whats Wrong With The Law And How It Is Costing Your Business Money

    Let me introduce myself:  My name is Scott Wolfe, and I’m an attorney.  I have first hand knowledge about everything that is wrong with America’s legal system, but so do you. That’s because what’s wrong with the law is all around you.

    These scandals aren’t about politics, they are about our laws and what our laws mean, or unfortunately, whether they mean anything at all.

    Just look at recent news reports.  The recent IRS scandal and scandal involving wire-tapping of the AP journalist is putting the problem under the spotlight. You may think these scandals are about politics or political perspective, but you would be wrong. The scandals are about law. Specifically it’s about what our laws mean, or unfortunately, whether they mean anything at all.

    This isn’t just a problem for our system of government, but it’s a problem for our entire economy.  It’s a problem for your business. In this article, I’m going to tell you why the rule of law is broken and how it is costing your business — and specifically your credit department – money. Lots of money.
