Some of us “smarmy lawyers” are also businessmen. We also do nothing without clients and many of us protect wealth more than “suck the life out of wealth”
Oh like that lawyer, John Roberts.
I betya Harriet Myers would have voted the right way on Obamacare, but nooooooooooooooooooooooooo, she was too "liberal".
Everyone hates those "damn Lawyers" until they need one. What most people do not understand is most lawyers are not involved in multi-million dollar litigation and very few are ambulance chasers. A few lawyers are the above and are millionaires with what I consider ill gotten gains. They are the exception. Most lawyers are earning what any other professional earns, as myself a pharmacist.
As a pharmacist I would hate to be judged by the standards of the very very very few bad pharmacists. That is what we are doing to lawyers.
