| Both in the café and on its website is a menu of fixed prices for various legal services covering family law, tax, wills and estates, rental and property and business dealings. Barrett said it has also started seeing clients about some civil and criminal matters. |
| For other areas of practice and more serious matters, the café has a stable of 50 lawyers acting as “subcontractors.” |
| They also have complimentary hour-long seminars in the evenings with refreshments provided. |

another lawyer take turns in handling tax and “corporate commercial”
matters, while another handles intake, performs triage and gives
general legal advice. https://bit.ly/2A6R98L |

| The American car companies have never been able to shed the reputation they gained in the 1970s for making lousy sedans. |
| Look at Toronto taxis. Twenty years ago, they all were Detroit sedans but today almost all are Toyota Camrys. |
| The American car companies now say they are going to count on profits from trucks and SUVs while moving toward autonomous and all-electric vehicles. They had better hope that transition takes place quickly. |
| While the top-three-selling vehicles in the U.S. are, indeed, American-made trucks, No. 4 on the list is Nissan’s top SUV, the Rogue, the sales of which have gone from 18,000 in 2007 to 403,000 last year. No. 5 is a Toyota SUV, the Rav4 (407,000 in 2017). No. 6 is the Honda CR-V (378,000). |
| And the leading American SUV? It’s the Chevy Equinox. Last year,
Chevrolet sold 290,000 of them — 100,000 fewer than the Toyota Camry. https://lat.ms/2QcziHg |
