So the facts you think you might have sometimes turn out not to be the real facts. Lying clients is one reason I got out of the business.

Some of my best friends are members of the bar, the most courageous and dedicated. They have shown the true meanings of the law as it was written to protect the accused and the abused.

And yes, we have had to go up against attorneys who laughed at the harm we were in court to get justice for. They saw the people we represented as meat on the hook at the slaughterhouse for profits. They were amazed that anyone cared about them as human beings.

Not all attorneys or defendents show respect to those they come up against in court. And some people never get any justice, either.
