I’ve had a very good friend for over 20 years that is a real estate lawyer, and a straight shooter if I ever met one. He’ll tell you right up front if he think’s you’re wrong or making a bad deal. I’ve seen him turn down potential clients he didn’t like or didn’t think he could work with. He’s not the only lawyer like this I’ve known. In fairness, there are clunkers, too, like there are in every profession. But I don’t believe in painting with a broad brush. Sure, there will always be ambulance chasers, but the main reason for there being so many lawyers around is because our society is stupid with litigation. If people would actually sit down together and work out their differences instead of suing in a heartbeat things wouldn’t be so bad. Sometimes having a civil conversation can go a lot farther than circling the wagons and lawyering up. -D > On Feb 10, 2020, at 5:14 PM, Curley McLain via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > it certainly has not been any shyster I've dealt with in the past 30 years or > so.
