lawyers

I don't think it's the Lawyers you guys should be pissed off at - they merely show parts of the LAW that will condemn or exonerate a person. It's the Law you guys should be cursing when a Lawyer can use it to free a guilty man, or condemn an innocent one.

Dude - did you miss a previous post of mine? Is the lawyers who become politicians who create the damn laws to begin with.

Point taken, but we shouldn't have to manipulate the law. Laws are written over-and-over again to try and remove loopholes such that Lawyers can't manipulate it to their liking...

Yogs prepares to repeat himself yet again.

Lawyers make the laws. They are working both sides of the street. Dont trust them. Dont believe them.

Yogs now sits back and waits to repeat himself again in short order

I get it, but I am saying that society should not exist such that Lawyers are even needed... I know that will NEVER happen, but that is how things should be. Stupid people sueing other stupid people is not what this existence should be about!!!

I believe if people hired buisness people and union organizers as politicians to make the laws, the legal system would be a whole lot more straight forward. Then the lawyers cant give themselves so much wiggle room.

<<DONNING FLAME SUIT, ZIPPING UP>>

Not every last lawyer out there resides at the bottom of the barrel. I work for a personal injury law firm. We screen each potential client's situation before we sign them up. Only a small percentage of people that call for our services have an acutal good case...in other words not a frivoulous suit.

Also think of it this way...most legal situations need a lawyer because most people out there have no idea what their rights are in certain situations, and the opposing party will take plenty of advantage of that. For example most of our clients would not know how to handle dealing with an insurance company without getting run over and screwed. Our attorneys handle all the dealings cuz they know the things to say etc. Also most people (from what I have observed) have horrible organization skills. We have our clients medical bills and what not sent to us so we can keep them in a file so that when it is time for a demand letter to be sent out...we have copies of their documentation as proof of what they went thru and how much its costing. Most people just throw their paperwork in a drawer and what not....and yes I am guilty of that

Also look at medical practice or severe injury trials that go on forever...you need a lawyer to research cases, get their paralegals to draft up letters and pledings etc. Not every ordinary citizen can do that all on their own.

Katwoman:

There are instances where attorneys can come in handy...

Threating letters
Threating phone calls
Manipulation of the law
Field trips.. take the children to a law firm and show the what NOT to become


They make law libraries (sp ?) (it's too early, brain not working) for people to educate themselves regarding the case that they are looking to. Problem that arises is that Judges are ex-attorneys, and all they see by you going ex-parte is one of their buddies loosing money... Very evil circle.

our family lawyer is a really nice guy, plus he gets my dad outta some bad situations..... so we'd consider him as a friend, i got nothin against him

Think about how it would be if there were no lawyers, everything would be fucked. If somebody murdered someone else, who would do justice?? Not all lawyers are good, but somebody has to defend somebody else, so that not all innocent people get charged for something they didn't do.... there are good and bad sides to everything

I didn't used to think much of lawyers before, but if it wasn't for the one we hired, we'd probably still be waiting for my husband's Skyline!!!

I'm sure there are some pleasant Nazis, child molester, Taliban and canibals out there too, but I want nothing to do with any of them.

[gang$tarr]

Yogs do you think there shouldn't be any lawyers? How would the world work without lawyers?

or do you just hate them all but know there's a need for them

My dad was a lawyer. Now he's dead. Some doctors were splitting up their buisness, and he was the lead buisness lawyer for the firm representing the company. He had to deal with both sides. It got to be too much for him. He killed himself in the back of what is now my car. Carbon monoxide poisoning.

I still have that car. He did it when I was 9. We found him when we got back from a trip.

Don't ever say lawyers are leeches, or that they are mindless scumbags. Fuck you if you do.

Sorry your dad was such a pussy that he killed himself. I have no sympathy for someone who hasn't the balls to deal with life. I do feel sympathy for you and your family for dealing with this though. As far as lawyers go - they're still fucking leaches of society.

That's totally rude, uncalled for and downright nasty. You are entitled tp your opinion but that doesn't give you the right to put it into the public domain. Have you no feelings or compassion because you sound pretty heartless to me! He was a member's father and I'm sure loved very much. How would you like someone saying that about your father? You have the right to think those things, but don't say them, not in here anyway!
