I have told others the same
There are plenty of noble lawyers doing incredible work such as what you mentioned. I thought of volunteering for the Innocence Project after seeing firsthand how dirty the system is and how easy it is to get railroaded by corruption.

PI attorneys are the little guys' best friends.

But majority get into law for money. It doesn't take much to be a lawyer. Most have overinflated egos and thin skin.

I have personally dealt with hundreds in varying capacities(much involving estate and legal malpractice law) and have read thousands of opinions and disciplinary reports. Most are despicable, lie more than tell the truth, and lack skills beyond running up bills

Signing a retainer agreement is like getting married. Easy to get in, filled with promises, but difficult and expensive to get out of when things aren't working as expected. They know it and abuse to no end

Personally, I don't want to deal with a lawyer again, unless I get rear ended by Bill Gates.

>> But I've known lawyers that worked on the Innocence Project

DO you think Barry Scheck is a great honest lawyer? The man who is responsible for OJ being able to go free after cutting his wife's throat, and that of the young man as well?

Is this what you admire?

Not sure, but didn't you go to law school in Cal? Berkeley? Are you still a lawyer?
