39 years married ---wife is my best friend .
I have been involved in two contract disputes ----one involving multi- millions of dollars and I was the key witness to the events . Both sides had huge lawyer teams , my deposition's were several days long and involved filming , recording , repeating the same questions a hundred times and in various ways etc......
I can 100% admit that the " legal " system is totally broken . It often comes down to who has the best team of lawyers and not who is right . I can also say that I have zero respect for lawyers --- they know the system is broken and tainted towards them making huge amounts of money --- and they don't care .
Take a look at the total numbers of lawyers in the US --- it's crazy .
Look at the Swamp is DC --- vast majority of Politicians are lawyers , assisted by other lawyers --- sticking it to Americans every way possible ---always the dollars , always .

Of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, 25 were lawyers. Of the 55 framers of the Constitution, 32 were lawyers.

I am sure if they were alive today and had the pleasure of reading your posts across this forum, they would have zero respect for you. So there...Bazinga!

Not defending the state of affairs in Washington by no stretch of the imagination or even lawyers for that matter, was just pointing out how asinine generalized slights are... that was all.. SO the bazinga is in your court now! no pun intended

of the last 3 lawyers I have dealt with, 2 were for work comp case when I blew out my knee then got hit from behind by someone with no insurance, the 3rd worked for the govt. at the eeoc.

first work comp lawyer was plain and simple a crook, if I see him again I promised him I would kneecap both of em for him. refused to go after the moron that hit me while texting and then took 20,000.00 for a phone call he never should have made that lasted all of 5 mins. (I was standing at this desk with my jaw on the floor).
I took over my case up to settlement and the lawyer the judge appointed (due to possibly not having a monetary settlement, had 2 already) got me another 20k and only took 500.00 since all he did was about 30 mins. at the courthouse dickering with the insurance lawyer. I ended up losing over 400,000.00 being off for 5 yrs. due to the first lawyers bs with the insurance co. they started playing games and denying surgery, yessir, both kneecaps gonna get it!

can't talk about the eeoc due to settlement clause but I can tell ya that he was a by the book lawyer with ethics and no percentage on the line, did me right.


there were (all dead now) multiple lawyers in my family, favorite aunt and uncle owned nursing homes and she was a divorce lawyer, if she was your ex's lawyer you were gonna get screwed and aunt sybil was gonna make bank. they got busted for a lot of fraud related to the nursing homes, she spent 3 yrs. in ft smith fed prison and he paid one hefty fine. they were still ultra wealthy when they died. they were 2 of my favorite relatives out of 4 that I actually liked and both as crooked as a snake.

knew a lot of lawyers in colorado, had an open and shut wrongful arrest suit filed and the lawyer I hired quit me on the court date. had to go to denver (about 3.25 hrs. away) and didn't even give me time to go and get a new docket date, another one I will call a crooked s.o.b. I did get some satisfaction before I left the mts. and will leave it at that.

I trust no lawyer until I have met them in a non work environment, cuts out a lot of meeting lawyers, and see who they are in public. never trust one for any reason till they have shown you some of who they are as a person.

I don't work anymore but would like to go fishing with you anytime. I hope you wouldn't base your trust on my fishing ability however.

the fact that you went back 246 years to justify your profession is laughable . Not a single founding father of this once great Nation would be proud of what lawyers are today .
Todays lawyers are just like [censored] roaches ---anywhere there is money , there is a lawyer trying to pry it away for themselves . Lawyers have ruined this country and will continue to do so ---justifying how they earn money while wrecking families and companies all while driving a wedge to a civil society .

we will do it on a contingency basis.

Momma said “ lawyers are the devil...”....

The term domestic housewife implies there are feral housewives... is there an open season for this?

I like to know where you got the 90% because that is not accurate. Do men sometime get a unfavorable outcome? Sure they do but so do women. A majority of the time, at least in Tarrant County, the parties get what is fair and just in accordance with the law as it is presently. Are there bad attorneys, absolutely but a lot of the time the person who is complaining about their attorney got what was coming to them under the law and they don't like it or they had unrealistic expectations. Clients sometimes seem to forget that the attorneys do not make the facts.

I have heard a million attorney jokes and I find them funny like everyone else. I have also heard blanket disparaging remarks about attorneys from people who are pissed off and don't know any better and that never bothered me either because they normally sing a different tune when they find themselves in a situation where they need one.

So, if you don't like your attorney, fire him, afterall he works for you not the other way around. If you get a bad decision, honestly reflect on the actual facts and your role in the deal and if you feel it is still unjust, appeal it. If that doesn't work out, and you are unhappy with the law as it is on the books, contact your congressman and try to get it changed.

OR belly ache about it to anyone who will listen..free country choice is up to you.
