Tough call. Do you go with the one with “Honest” in their name, a tactic most often used by those who are anything but? Or do you go with the legal firm which frequently airs ambulance-chaser ads on daytime TV? If those are your only choices, it means you might be one of those who had better just settle.
Ha! We even pause to consider alternatives in Trumpland any more? Nah, any deliberation now is for finding and going with the most heinous, harmful, venal done unto our fellow man. Shudder, be afraid, mourn for our beloved America now and for ever more.
Rudy is the Pillage and Burn….what a slimeball….ewwww. Sooo many gop @ss-kissers, just to save their jobs….no principals, integrity, scruples, and souls!
Principles, those pesky things you stand behind even when it hurts, especially when it hurts. Like government should stay out of our personnel lives, especially our bedrooms and a women’s womb. I remember when some republican leaders had principles, not so much anymore.
My son was thinking about becoming a a lawyer. I suggested he become a pimp because his colleagues would have higher ethical standards and he’d be held in higher regard by society.
I am so sick of every comic being turned into an anti-Trump crusade. Can’t enjoy the comic, can’t enjoy the comments. Geeminy people… get a life and take the foul stench of politics elsewhere.
Is anybody besides me just godawful sick and tired of all those damn commercials by ambulance-chasing lawyers? I mean, it almost makes me long for Flo at progressive, or that weird My Pillow dude!
My experience (small) w/ lawyers is that they tend toward being fair, careful, ethical (for a carefully defined meaning) and expensive. Two or three times, I’ve been turned down w/ “I would cost you more than you could possibly get” or some equivalent.
PS: My insurance company has lawyers on staff, and the one time they got involved, my outcome was approximately $50K ahead of doing it myself. And that was net of whatever costs the insurance co had. Not a great result, but overall pretty fair, I thought.
Thanks, Wiley. You show that the problem is not (just) the lawyers. It is people: you, me, all of us. Human nature (a.k.a. Sin) always wants to “go for the win.” None are innocent, yet we (also) always look for someone else to blame.

A local lawyer partnered up with another lawyer to make a firm and 6 months later they were suing each other. I was not surprised.

That’s a very large coin. Concussion is a possible outcome. The litigators are present. Who to sue, now that’s the question.

I’ve met many attorneys and they’re just like everyone else (even cartoonists). Some are good and honest, others are not. Go figure. Signed, an adult.

It’s the same office with two doors. It all depends on how they “read” you when you come in.
