Let's start a thread about all the good lawyers!

The end.

Here's a list of lawyers I trust-

Right here. But, I have a lawyer who is good with land and will issues. Right where they belong.

kwg

Had a guy who handled our estate work after my mother died and he was very good. Cut his hourly into 15 min. blocks so phone calls didn't rack up a big bill and he charged about $50-100/hr less than most.
A rare commodity.

No schit. Especially family practice (divorce) lawyers.

I hate to think about needing one!

They’re all on Accurate Reloadongs.....no worries.

You misspelled lowyers.

I have one I consider a friend - we talk daily. I've never received a bill.

We have a good one.

I told him this joke.
The school children introduce themselves on the first day of school.
Bill tells them about himself, "My fathers a lawyer. Question, "Honest?" "No the regular kind".

2003 had utility come after my company because they laid power on the wrong side of the street and 811 marked it off plans instead of finding tracer. We trenched across the line which was actually buried on the opposite side street.

Our lawyer got them to drop suit, pay his fees and give us money.

If carefully researched, interviewed and chosen, we find a very good lawyer here and there. The heavy majority paint the sleazy, greedy portrait.

As Charles Galbreath (sp) used to say on his radio show here, "I'll defend you to your last nickel."

There are some good ones. I have met both kinds. When you are suing somebody hire one of the mean sorry ones though.

Eighty five % of the worlds lawyers are in the USA.

Before I retired, I worked with some very good lawyers, and a couple idiots.

We have one that is a "regular" poster on this forum. A wise and knowing man. One who is what I consider a normal representation of that vocation.

Laffin!

If you plan to defend w/ deadly force if needed it is a good idea to have a proven defense attorney's card in your wallet, another on the fridge door and his number in your phone.

I've met one. Have is number in my phone, in case I need to get a hold of him quick. A good one is worth every penny.

Lawyers mostly are just like any profession: good ones, bad ones, and a lot in between; ethical ones, unethical ones, and a lot in between,

I'm one. Two basic elements, IMO, make the best lawyers: (1) they understand the client and, consciously or subconsciously, they look at all of the issues from that perspective; and (2) they outwork their opponents by a mile.

I've been doing both for 26 years now, and I've never lost a matter of any significance.

The violators of the first principle often are junior lawyers who are trying to look good and effective (say, to a boss) for their own benefit, rather than thinking about things from the client's perspective.

My brother, as a Range Management Consultant, once lost a case to a bad BLM lawyer.

The lawyer made a point about a study on the land in question.

My brother said, "That's not what it says".

"I've got the study right here" said the lawyer, slapping a sheaf of papers.

"Who wrote that study?", asked my brother.

Lawyer looks down at the paper, then gets very red.

Judge: "Boy, you really walked into that one!"

Bro never did tell me how he managed to lose that one. On merit, I guess.

So this on the office wall of a friend in Tallahassee, member of FL Public Service Commission, consultant to a law firm, raiser of some very fine quail dogs, hunting guide to judges and governors:

I paraphrase from memory:

'...In the event of total nuclear war, the United States will have a major setback, however, there will be pockets of humanity that will survive. Largely, Washington DC, and most major cities, will be annihilated. And, while the original documents that are the foundation and backbone of this great country will likely be destroyed, they can be reproduced from copies that exist all over this land, or from computer records.

It will take a while, but the people of the USA will pick up, they will go on, the economy and our way of life will eventually return to normal, and we will again be a great nation...........................


................. UNLESS - a disproportionate number of attorneys survive...'

I have a favorable opinion of lawyers. I use a female attorney for most of my farm contracts and anytime I get sued by a local Landowner who claims i killed his garden (which has happened more than once). I have another attorney who handles any tax issues that arise. I believe both of these individuals look out for my best interest. My first wife was killed in a auto accident, no fault of her own. After the driver of the other vehicle was found guilty in criminal court, i filed a civil suit. Thanks to another attorney who specializes in this field, I was awarded a significant settlement. Like them or not, a good attorney is well worth the price imo. I have no experience with a "bad" attorney, so can't comment.

Ditto

So is this an obituary post?

The one you have on retainer (but only as far as you can lift them)

I all my years I've known 2, maybe 3, that were honest, ethical, & trustworthy. None of them were jewish.

I've met a considerably larger number.

Threads like this make me smile.

and after that yer on yer own...LOL

I worked a lot with our corporate lawyers as we worked contracts and they were superb.

If you were to take all the world's lawyers and laid them out end to end... that would be good.

Ya maybe its only the soulless scumbags that defend rapists, chimos, and killers that are massive pieces of garbage......nah they all suck a mean azz

Regardless the circumstances and situation, the lawyers always win.

You've got to have plenty of F U money if you are gonna employee them.

99% of the lawyers give the rest a bad name.

My sister is a lawyer.


Fancy schools, Harvard and Berkeley.


Lives near San Fran and makes all kinds of money.


But she had a fair amount of student loans and of course it is $$$ to live out there.




Best lawyer in our part of the country lives down the street at the end of the block.

My lawyer is a good man from what I can tell, he probably doesn't give two [bleep] about us but he's good at his job and he wants and will win. Same as me with my job if you boil it down. Probably the same with everyone, at the end of the day.

Laws are written by lawyers, for lawyers. And it's bullschidt that we are forced to play their damn game.

Like every other profession, some good ones who are what a lawyer should be, a bunch of them going through the motions, and a few that if you have to deal with them they make you think they are all a bunch of scumbags.

I’ve worked with quite a few that were really good men. My current attorney is younger, but brilliant and honest. Treats me exceptionally well. I can text him at 10:00 at night and get a reply.

Just a legal thief!

1,000 lawyers drowned in a lake, a good start!

Me too. Oldest son is a full partner in a prestigious law firm. Finest Christian Family Man you'd ever meet.

Nice and polite until you fug with him or his clients then all gloves are off.

Not all lawyers are bad

I was in a lawsuit with a shistler lawyer in a prestigious firm. I know he was a hired gun.

On of the few graves, never mind.

Until you really need one.

What town is he out of?

99.93% of all lawyers give all the rest a bad name.

The more I think about it ole Billy was right
Let's kill all the lawyers kill 'em tonight

I’ve been privileged to have worked with some of the best in the United States. They’ve successfully defended some very notable people.

Very hard working folks who left no stone unturned. Worked many late nights with them.

We won our case.

I'm ready.





So are the boys: https://i.imgur.com/7B0kR8u.mp4

Start breaking glass.

So, perhaps it isn't lawyers you hate...it is law-makers (congress critters), who are lawyers, that you hate?

Fortunately, I didn't need a lawyer, and I hope I won't do. But I know one. She was my best friend's attorney in her sexual assault case. She did a great job, and my best friend is so happy that the culprit was punished. I met her once, but I was impressed by how intelligent and responsible this woman was. I was really pleasantly surprised. If most lawyers were like that, the world would be a much better place. Well, if you want to know more information about her, you can read it on this website - https://ucmjdefense.com. I hope I have helped a little.

If it weren't for lawyers (and judges, who are ex-lawyers) we would still have prayer in schools and sporting events. We would still say the Pledge of Allegiance, we WOULD NOT have mentally ill people using the wrong bathroom, we would not be punishing people for family, holiday, or religious gatherings during made up pandemics, we would not see 400 peaceful protesters rotting in jail while a murderous cop walks free... shall I continue?
Think about it for a minute. You can credit nearly 100% of the degradation of this country to lawyers and judges.

You know what lawyers use for birth control?
Their personalities!
Lawyers will soon be on unemployment because laws don’t mean squat these days.

This is my favorite, lawyer.

I deal with lawyers very regularly in my job. I trust them to give us the best advice when they are dealing with a case. I would not trust them as far as I can throw them if the same lawyers were against me. Bottom line, they are trained - and paid, to argue both sides of a case. They are your advocate, in that they’ll argue whatever fits your case best.

As they say, if the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts.

It’s really just a big game to them. One which you’re paying for. They don’t care about you, personally, they care about winning.

Remsen is my lawyer. I haven't sent him the retainer yet...but I'm workin' on it. He is going to represent me in my upcoming criminal case, for when the State of California Water Resources Board wants to put a meter on my domestic water well.

Any time I get a chance to go up against the CA government, it's gratis for my client. Deal?

Had lunch the other day with my sister (retired labor relations/ contract law lawyer) and her husband. We were discussing something when she went into her argument mode. I looked at her and asked if she's always going to be a lawyer. Her jaw hit the ground, the look on her face was priceless. She recovered after a few seconds and fired up again. I looked at my bil and asked him if she had an off switch... 🤣

I was told not to ever expect legal advice again.

Count me in on that one.
They are a bunch of appointed thieves. I've had the pleasure of dealing with them about Ag water rights. They are the worst of the worst. You know you're a scumbag when even Newsom thinks you're going to far..

We use a good one, Super Dave.

You ain't kidding.....bunch of parasites in my book, 1/2 rung above politicians.

My trust attorney is excellent as well.

Got you on speed dial.
