i kind of agree but disagree too.
lawyers get paid regardless. so you make them out to be these ruthless money hungry people, when in essence they are OFFICERS OF THE COURT that are also ethical and law abiding citizens. A good lawyer, in any good law firm is NOT money hungry and will always do what is best for the client. The client may interpret that as “over billing” or as you say “all lawyers are shady” but in reality, if a lawyer was that shady, they would have NO clients and they would lose their license
but then again, its all politics. who you know, conflict of interest so on and so fourth…
