Week 1 - What I think of Lawyers

I personally believe that there can be good and bad lawyers. Not just in the sense that a person is good or bad morally or ethically because that in general doesn’t even matter. What matters is how well they do their job. I do not believe that any lawyer can truly care about a person, even the good ones. The reason being is because a lawyer at the end of the day is just someone you pay. They are strangers and will never know you.

The only lawyer who would ever be truly good to a person in need is if they are family and not the backstabbing family either. Now there are the lawyers who strive to make this world just a wee bit better. They are few and far between; if you look hard enough you can run into one. They always want some money, and most likely more than what you can afford. But the good ones will help you out at the end of the day and bring justice to your little world. If the person who is in jeopardy and needs the lawyer is a good person in the first place that had some wrong doing towards them, then they will end up being able to find a good lawyer as well because good people have instincts. Let’s just hope the good person isn’t a moron though.

In any case, lawyers take oaths to do good, and most end up doing so because if they stay good in the eyes of the people that are hiring them, they’ll continue to have business. That’s the whole point anyways, if you have a good reputation you will continue to have people flock to you and be referenced to you. The bad lawyers though, well, they end up getting their comeuppance, whether that’s in this life or the next.
