I've always found there are two kinds of attorneys. There are those who tell you what you can't do and those that tell you what you can do. Once in a while, you'll even find one who will tell you how to do what you're not supposed to do: These are the ones worth knowing.

Having an attorney that tells you that trespassing is illegal and therefore you shouldn't do it is pretty lame. You knew it was illegal and you shouldn't do it. While the attorney would technically be correct in answering you, the real problem is that the attorney didn't answer your real question: How do I do it anyway.



We know the rules.
You don't trespass.
You don't have sex.
You don't tug of Superman's cape.
You don't spit into the wind.
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger.

I can assure you there are people out there that do not know the rules, or know them but think they don't apply to them.  Many people think if there is no sign they can go where they want, but we have been told that may not be true, or the signs don't have to be all that frequent.

I have met these people in person, and I have seen countless forum posts by people who believe trespassing is a God given right.

If you believe that everyone really knows right from wrong, then shouldn't all those people know the answer to "how do I do it anyway?".  I know the answer is "ask permission".  The real question is who to ask, and there is no way an attorney in Texas can tell someone in Montana who owns the farm on county road 5.
