You may now resume your regularly-scheduled lawyer bashing. It is my earnest hope that your own liberty or property never require the defense of a member of our profession. Like handguns, we are despised. . . until you really need us.

John,
We all know that we need lawyers at times but we as well wish that you guys would police your own ranks. The ambulance chasers and others that you know very well leave a stain on the entire profession.
Most of us feel that most of the lawyers are good but there are too many of them (it seems) and the bad ones are really bad...
Thanks for the correction. Learned something so the day is not lost!
Fly safe,
JoeA
PS was married to a lawyers daughter years ago. It did leave a lasting impression...
