I like my lawyer. She tells it like it is. Sure, they joust back and forth, but that is what I pay her for. A legal expert to keep me out of the poorhouse and she also shares her "street smarts" concerning the emotional side of her profession.
Lawyers get a raw deal here from some. I can see why - they work for Divorce. But they work for us when we were given no alternative.
Another UNemotional voice in my life. I like that. I like people with passion. I like people who do things for the right reasons. I like people who lay it on the line. I may not always agree, but I respect honesty and integrity above all.
