(10,499 posts)Does she think that lawyers are so uniformly dirty that we somehow find people to fabricate this shit over and over? We worked hard to get through college, law school and pass the Bar exams, but we are willing to throw it all away and go to jail to fabricate a fake lawsuit that would be scrutinized by national media? I don't think so and I am tired of this crap. Most lawyers are honest believe or not! There are unscrupulous people in every profession, I think it has more to do with the fear that people have for attorneys since we could surely ruin your day. You won't hear from me unless you did something wrong or made a very bad mistake. We police our own very well in order to protect what little good reputation we have with the general public. If doctors worked as hard as lawyers in policing their own medical malpractice would almost be a thing of the past. Six percent of the doctors commit 90% of the malpractice. Sorry for the rant down the rabbit trail but I get so many RW nut jobs telling me that their case is legitimate, unlike most of my other cases. That is what one just told me like it was a given that most of my docket were made up of frivolous lawsuits. Just so you know, it is hard enough to get a jury to award money to a victim in a clear case of liability since almost all Republicans believe you should just accept and deal with it instead of sue, unless of course it happens to them. I do get pleasure when I can tell those people that due to the tort reform they supported they are capped on damages or no longer have a claim. The looks on their faces is priceless when they bleat, "but I have a REAL case!"
