What makes people dislike attorneys? We have 4 generations in the
family and I have noticed some changes. The older ones smoked cigars and
walked around looking like legislators, the younger ones do not smoke at
all. The younger ones have different areas of concern; one of my
cousins, who is an attorney (works for Shell Oil), has a son who works
for the Southern Poverty Law Center and I can not imagine Great-grandpa
doing that.


Great-grandpa and his twin brother were both attorneys who became
judges. They used Spencerian penmanship that was graceful in
appearance, full of beautiful flourishes. I have an envelope he
addressed to someone and it looks like a work of art. It is too bad we
lost that. Now, we type on computers, and younger people are texting
using a strange code of "textese". lol

There are a few decent one, but many are only interested in making money
(not justice), even at the expense of their client. They bring a lot of
frivolous suits, chase ambulances, and often screw the wrong people. I
don't know the percentage that are sleazy, but it is enough that the entire
profession is tainted by them.
