The first thing we do…

My pro­fes­sion is much maligned. Attor­neys have a pub­lic approval rat­ing right up there with that of tele­mar­keters, door to door sales­man and Con­gress. I don’t dis­pute that there are uneth­i­cal attor­neys just, as there are uneth­i­cal accoun­tants, uneth­i­cal doc­tors or uneth­i­cal auto­mo­bile mechan­ics, etc. I also don’t dis­pute that the malign­ing of attor­neys is not a new phenomenon.
