I have known a couple of attorneys who are surely dumbasses. 1 of them sold me down the river while stealing me blind about 25 years ago. The argument could be made that like used car salesman who lie in most cases to every single customer, in this day and age an honest man has no business being a lawyer...criminal defense that is. An acquaintance i know just got arrested for assault with a deadly weapon. He had a great deal of cash at his girlfriends house, and her older cousin and his son were doing some remodeling work in another part of the house. They stole a big chunk of his money...he realized this, confronted them, and ended up shooting dad a couple times in his legs. After posting bail, his lawyer told him it will be 40k to avoid jail time altogether. Do i need to draw a picture? Obviously he has to bribe the DA and the judge to get the charges and sentence reduced. He is the 2nd person i know to bribe their way out of prison. The other guy spent 30k to not serve any active time for trafficking heroin. Different county, right next to Charlotte. Corruption is everywhere in the law profession. Judging by the way he posts here...i dont think LG could get me out of a traffic ticket for a cool million. He claims to be a lawyer as well.
