I've dealt with lawyers on more occasions than I care to think about. Nothing to do with my wife, I'm happily married. Nothing to do with getting sued, I've actually won both times I represented myself in court.
No, my dealings came in several other settings. Such as insurance claims. I've actually recorded statements from people making insurance claims that they were told by lawyers to blatantly lie about their injuries, the facts of an accident, and subsequent mental trauma they were attempting to profit from. I've had beers with a couple of classics here in the valley that pride themselves in their method of 'coaching' DUI suspects, manipulating court dates in a effort to have an officer fail to show, all in an attempt to have charges dropped. This done while knowing everything they are saying is false and may help a drunk put innocent victims at risk. I watched a close friend, who was brutally raped and left for dead by a couple of charming fellows here in Phoenix, get absolutely abused during court by a smug little prick, who completely manipulated the system and got those asses off. To this day, I would gladly pull that guys arms off and beat him to death with them if given the opportunity.
You boys keep kidding yourselves that what you do has anything noble about it. Keep tell us that your honorable people in an honorable profession. Your ranking last I checked was just above car salesman and just below insurance salesman in the trust poll among citizens. I've never been overly impressed with one's ability to make it through law school and pass the bar. I've met too many social retards and complete idiots who managed to be able to do that. I could have easily gone to law school. I had the grades and the financial ability to afford it. Even in college, I didn't think much of that profession. We had several law school grads working in claims because it was the only work they could find. All that L. A. Law craze that had everyone thinking being a lawyer was somehow cool gorged the market and you couldn't swing a dead cat without smacking a lawyer. Which is fine use of a dead cat.
As for my profession, I'm not actually an agent. I'm currently doing audits on agents to make sure they aren't doing unprofessional things that give our industry a bad name. See we don't circle the wagons to protect our own, like some do. So far, I've found them all to be doing things properly. I'm sure I'll find someone dancing in the gray areas, but that won't last long.
You boys might be solid Card fans, and for that, I'm happy. Unfortunately, I think your profession blows.
Ok get back on track or it is to the EE/P&R with you!
