his mother that he was very angry at me for doing so, and that he didn't have the time(oh yeah, pay him and he suddenly finds the time!). He did say, however, that he would answer my question for a fee. It was a simple question. In the time he took to complain about it to his mother, he could've answered me. Do you think that asking a relative a question in his/her/ (its-lol) field of practice warrants behavior like this?

I don't think a simple question should evoke such a response. It makes me wonder whether or not there is a family history that creates and feeds such a response. Your cousin somehow believed it was relevant to include his mother in his commiserations, so it creates a question in my mind, regarding what reward he got out of doing that.

His limited power sounds like it`s gone to his head!...Most families I know would be more than happy to help out their own...but in doing so ..you may have recommended him to others who would pay for a good lawyer..so he may well have lost out there!..At least you can see him for what he is now!:-¬

I guess I'll be in the minority here. The "way" that he handled it, was less than classy. However, to ask ANYONE who operates a business of ANY kind, to do something for FREE, is also classless. No one is obligated to do things for free and they should never be put into a position of finding it necessary to say NO, as they have every right to do. It matters not if it's just "a little favor"....it always is according to the asker, or because they are a friend, or a relative or...or...or. Unless you are prepared to pay, do the research yourself....for free!
