Lawyers are a useful tool. When you feel like you are in a bind, talking to the right lawyer can be such a breath of fresh air. It can be a conversation from which you walk away saying “Phew! I have options I didn’t even realize I had.” Life feels better with options. Life can be easier with experts on your side who want to help. I get that. That is brilliant.
I am going to tell you something that truly bothers me, though, about that search. It is when people look to lawyers as the solution. It is when people view lawyers as a way of outsourcing part of life’s journey. There are some things you just cannot outsource in life.
Children’s Health Defense is one of my favorite health freedom organizations. They fight in the courts. They organize and fight a battle with a fervor and skill that few have. They are also a brilliant think tank, and they additionally publish powerful daily stories on top of that. If you do not already donate to them, I must ask, “Why not?” If you are broke, skip the afternoon tea and send them $1.76. Say “thank you” with a donation of any size.
Though I love them, I recognize a limitation. They are not going to win this battle for us.
The battle is in you.
I have spent most of my adult life (in my 60’s) working with lawyers, and I can say with 100% confidence that there is no such thing as a good lawyer. All lawyers and judges are corrupt to the core.
The lawyers won’t help us- my son recently interviewed at a law firm, was told what they would offer starting, pay, all of the benefits, what they would pay when the bar results come in, asked when available to start. At end of interview, asked “You are vaccinated, right?” When he said no, there was an awkward silence, then was told he will have to wear a face mask , to which he said no problem (it was a remote position with office hours only once or twice a month anyway). Next day got call they “actually decided to go with someone else”. Graduated from one of the top 20 law schools out of the 400+ in the country, with honors. Was offered full ride to two schools and 25% tuition to several others.
90% of the lawyers are democrats! clintons obamas set the standard for how they should conduct themselves. the whole f’n systems is corrupt!
