There are lawyers...and then there are lawyers....for example! My GF went to work for a lady lawyer of whom, she has found out in a short time cares for the client vs others she has worked with, Walls are paper thin so she hears things, like the lady going to bat just because it is right, against prevailing odds.
Needless to say this lawyer is very busy all of the time, so busy that she shares the cases amongst her fellow attorney's that get it!
It' not always about the money, or winning or losing, but trying and not accepting an unacceptable outcome.
Kudos for your "Proffessionalism!
