What I Think of Lawyers?

I think lawyers are professionals who specialize in protecting the integrity of the laws of government and the society within. Lawyers are expected to go through several years of education while studying in depth a specific area of law or case study. Once a lawyer graduates law school I imagine they either open a private practice or start an entry-level position in attempts to work their way up as an employee.

This is the point where I see many lawyers following the money more than the desire or passion that first brought them to law school. I imagine they see the perversion within the system and realize there is little to no money in truth. Many lawyers exploit its citizens or find ways to bend the law or the moral the law is based on. The corruption is deep and the consequences relenting, our Constitution and our freedoms sometimes at stake.

If lawyers are set in place to respect the integrity of the system, then why is the very best private criminal defense attorneys turned to the other side? Money. Because their too good at what they do and their purpose is then better served for the government. Government? That’s right the District Attorneys advise strict charges initially so that they may accept a plea and therefore remain consistent in convictions. A loss to the DA can be devastating to a lawyer or its city. And America doesn’t like losers. The Justice Department too often is caught up in ego and dollar signs, and not the laws they protect. After all they only want to go home and feed their families at the end of the day and no coach wants to lose on any given Sunday.
