What do you think of lawyers?

My opinion on Lawyers… well, I believe lawyers are misunderstood people, most of them striving to do well in society, trying to protect people and help those who need representation. The world is a mean place, and without the legal representation of a lawyer, most people would be “overrun” by the government, and other people. Personally I have not had to “deal” with a lawyer, but when I was a young child, I was fascinated by courtroom movies, where a man, or woman would stand and speak with passion… and the entire room would listen to them! They have meaning and bring justice to those who deserve it. Personally I think we should all be thankful for having lawyers around, it’s not like an average person can walk into a courtroom and do what they do… besides the fact that they can dominate a courtroom, and eloquently persuade a situation, most of the time lawyers are found researching, reading and writing, sitting behind a desk… its only about 10% of their time can they be found in the court room. So, the next time you want to bad mouth a lawyer, think about what would happen if you were in the Bellagio hotel, and slipped while exiting the shower, there were supposed to be non slip, grip pads on the bottom of the tub, but there weren’t. Would you sue for your broken hip? Who would you call? A lawyer… so, to summarize my opinion… I think lawyers are very useful members of society, and I also believe they provide a great service for the public… the day might come when I will need to call on a lawyers help, and probably the same for you!
