I haven't bothered to look at your website but I take your word for who you are. I know quite a few like you myself. Your problem is just like that of the "peaceful Muslims", you don't seem able to police your own and the bad ones get all the publicity. It's the old good news is not news story. I also know a few of the ambulance chasers, too.
Some greedy trial lawyers, I don't mean to imply that is what all of them are, are in cahoots with and are used by the Democrats to enforce a political agenda. That is where much of the perception problem arises.
I also used to do some investigation for insurance companies investigating primarily high-dollar disability claims and some workers comp stuff. The bad lawyers I encountered fell into basically two groups. Those who went for the big bucks depending on a sympathetic jury and those who went after lots of small dollar cases that the insurance companies would generally pay rather than contest.
I have seen and experienced both sides. Once again, hooray for you for being who you are.
I do collection work for small businesses. I don't make big dollar pay days. I try to get payment for people who provided services but were not paid.
I am sick of lawyer jokes knowing the work I put in to get some satisfaction for hard working businesspeople who get screwed by deadbeats.
