98% of lawyers give the rest a bad name...
Then I'm batting 1000 on that 2 percent.
One I took to court because he did zero, zip, squat on my case. I discovered this from the opposing attorney who asserted that billed discussions had in fact never occurred.
The other sent a bill for a meeting that was cancelled - monthly and for several years - claiming bogus "research" expenses which they could not meaningfully identify in court. No time tickets, no notes, no docs, nothing.

This happens to be very true. :-D Actually, in defense of lawyers (don't hit me, don't hit me!), I think it takes a personality TYPE to be an attorney. There are plenty of great folks who are attorneys, but they have to have a certain attitude! That's over generalizing, I know, but I've been a legal secretary for a whole lotta years and it is upon this experience, your honor, that I rest my case.
