I wanted to be a lawyer once.

Then I decided I wanted people to like me.

Then I decided I wanted people to like me.

Ditto, I also wanted to be a useful and productive member of society as well.

I as much as I think that type of individual is sucm, I appreciate the fact that w/o lawyers for even the worst, we lose sight of what blind justice and equal legal system are.

Lawyers are blood/money sucking parasites ... and I still want to be one one day, LOL

I will say this much.

I benefitted from a decent one recently.

I still don't want to talk about it. But let's just say when things are said and done, it will be as if nothing happened.

And without an attorney, I wouldn't have that result.

It also helps that he was recommended to me by an attorney I used to work for. He cut his fee about 70% for me.

I worked for attorneys from 1987 through about 1993. Some decent, some not so decent. I think their fees are overly inflated for the general work they do. So much of it is repeat paperwork that their secretary (ahem) does herself.

What you pay for is their education. And in the case of a good attorney, their ability to be persuasive. They're basically car salesmen.

Unfortunately, I've learned that a lot of their pull comes from elbow-rubbing and a sort of "good ol boy" network. It's who knows who, who owes whom a favor, etc.

Heh. Kinda like politics. Easy to understand why so many politicians are/were lawyers & judges.
