I could find him variously in the Recorder's records as "Linh Trin", "Linh Trinh", "Lin Q Trinh" and "Linh Q Trinh". : Then there is the problem of extremely common names like "Jose Gonzales" or "Bill Smith" which will have lots of results for different people, all mixed together. : How do you untangle this? I suppose you could print all the documents at $1.00 a page, and study them quietly at home, but that gets expensive fast. And it still seems to be it would be confusing to identify who-is-who. Is there a point where you just say "This deal is too complex, forget about it..." Follow Ups: Don't believe all you hear..
