Without her law license, she will have more time for cocktails at the cocktail lounge on the back street behind the Stanley. She was my late mother in-law's attorney, and soaked her well for everything she did for her. I sometimes got the impression she was overcharging her for everything she did for her. I used to see her in that bar quite often. We used to go there for lunch, and sadly, I can't even remember the name of the restaurant and lounge. Our doctor's office was near there.

Where have you been losjibaros?! On many occasions I have stated that I'm in law school. You must not have gotten the memo.  Yes, I am trying to become a lawyer some day. The dwi guy and the heavy hitters hurt the profession's image by making all attorneys look like ambulance chasers. Mary does worse to the profession because it effects the public's trust in the profession. People might be more likely to tempt their fate out of fear of losing their entire life's work to a corrupt attorney. It questions the profession's ability to administer justice and questions the legal system in general. I can laugh at the heavy hitters and dismiss them. But its attorneys who steal from clients, cheat clients, overcharge clients, etc. that truly tarnish the profession's reputation and public image. Would you be more or less likely to seek an attorney's assistance when all you hear is how attorneys steal your money behind your trusting back? Compare that to whether you would be more or less likely to use an attorney you saw in a lame tv advertisement. I think I can safely predict that you would chose the latter over the former. |
