Existence comes before essence means that: first we are thrown in this world. (By being thrown in this world, we exist.)

The essence -what we are- is created AFTER we exist because we are not thrown in this world pre-programmed or, better, pre-determined. After we exist, our essence is created by our actions and choices. Believe in that and you become an atheist.

Existencialism is not possible to define with an acceptable degree of precision. I learned it reading Jean Paul Sartre back on the seventies when I was a leftie.

Concerning the legal professional, as Bicycle says, the resentment the normal citizen feels towards the legal profession stems from the fact that the legal profession creates 'asymmetrical information'. The ones that possess this information -that the general public don't- use it to the detriment of the general public.

In order to make the information symmetrical, a member of the general public has to seek legal advise to grasp the information bit he is missing.

As a result of the above, at both ends of a human interaction you find a lawyer. And that -the general public reasons- self perpetuates the legal profession intromission in every aspect of human activity.
