EOOC WEEK 2: What Do You Think Of Lawyes?

I think of lawyers as parasites or scavengers. They use you and your money and after they’ve sucked you dry, they throw you to the curb and move on to the next victim. From personal experience, I had a legal case, details omitted for privacy, and I knew I needed a lawyer to represent me in court. I explained to him my situation and he said we had a case. I quoted me his hourly fees and we agreed to a payment plan. After filling the case, we proceeded with court appearances. The defense had as good lawyer as mine. Some court days went well for me and others not that good. But after every court appearance, my lawyer shook hands with the defense lawyer; they chuckled and cracked a joke or two. My lawyer seemed to have a good relation with the judge as well, as they chuckled as well after court session. They left me wondering if I was being taken for a legal ride as I’d heard around from other people. I always made frequent visits to lawyers’ office before next court proceeding to see where I stand in succeeding and winning. I always encouraged me to continue and of course asked for his monthly pay after the meeting. Out of curiosity, I inquired with another lawyer and he said I had a weak case and was probably going to lose the case. I forwarded this over to my attorney and advised me he knew what he was doing and should continue with the case. Due to weak evidence on my side, the case was thrown out on numerous occasions. My lawyer advised me to file appeals as he’d found a glitch in the case, and as always reminded me to make my payment to his cashier on my way out. To cut long story short , my lawyer knew at one point that I was going to lose, but as long as I had my right to appeal, he kept getting paid. Lawyers have no feelings.
