Week2-EOC: What I think of Lawyers

I have many different views on lawyers, lawyers make can make a lot of money or very little money depending on the grounds of the case that their working on. I have met quite a few lawyers, and believe it or not some of them are people too! I believe that lawyers should have strong moral beliefs and should always stand by those beliefs even if the law sometimes gets in the way. Unfortunately this is a rare trait to find in a lawyer and in most cases they’re only in it for the money. Lawyers should do their jobs by the book, although with a book with as many loop holes as we have in our system, there are ways around certain things. Lawyers get caught up in all sorts of squabbles with their clients and the court systems. They get a bad rap from everything around them, movies, and these ridiculous TV shows they play now. What happened to the good stuff they do? Why don’t more top lawyers get recognized for more accomplishments, like well I don’t know off the top of my head but there’s got to be good right? I know if I had to sit in an office the majority of the day and look over paperwork I would be searching for the big case too! Yes they take a huge chunk of change from you when you’re using their services. But it’s their job and if they don’t take that a large sum from you then they’re not making any money at all. Lawyers seem to be deceitful, lying, money grubbing mongrels, and it’s their fault. So all in all lawyers suck but if you find one that’s a good friend of a friend, or a family member, stick with them they’ll be a lot more reasonable than most.
