A lawyer is by trade a dishonest person. That’s their beef and how they make money.

Just imagine yourself defending a child’s killer in court. I couldn’t do that in one million years.

There are/were good attorneys out there. My father was a damned good one. (He often cited how Marquette University, where he got his law degree, pounded ethics into them.)

Dad never wanted to be an attorney defending those who had committed crimes, so he went into real estate law. He did tons of pro-bono work for so many because they couldn't afford an attorney.

We were never rich, but were left with a rich legacy after my father died.
