To the stereotypical individuals of the world, have you ever retained a lawyer or an attorney? If so did they live up to your expectations, as the pricks and sneaks of world? America is not known for its intelligence, but hello people do you even know what the difference between a lawyer and an attorney-at-law is? There is a difference, and wiki does not have the answer, nor does answer.com. If you are going to look this up better do it in a book or ask an attorney. It is not my job to educate you.
Do you want my opinion on lawyers? Well here it is, if you want it or not. Lawyers, and attorneys, are necessary to a point, as an advocate and, or councilor for the common people. Many individuals need legal representation at some point in their lives. I am glad that they charge such a high consultation fee. If they didn’t everyone would want legal representation for suing their next door neighbor for private nuisance, or other such ridiculous things.
How many of you even know what the BAR exam is? And from that few how many know what the acronym BAR stands for? The BAR exam, a nationwide test taken only two times a year, lasting about 7 hours each day. Personally watched a friend study for this exam was agonizing. He studied for weeks and weeks meticulous about learning and his study methods. I admired that he had such a goal and drive that he could study with migraines and back aches.
Yes there are sleaze ball attorneys and lawyers but last time I looked there were sleaze balls in every profession and occupation. Is it because they represent the worst of society that you judge them so harshly? If so America needs a cow prod just to get its heads out of the sand.
