EOC WEEK 2: What do you think of lawyers?

I don’t have a negative nor positive overall view of lawyers nor have I had any personal experience with in lawyers in my life. If I were going by just things I have heard and saw I think lawyers provide a service for whomever they are defending benefit. In most cases if the lawyer is doing a good job he/she will win the case whether their client is innocent or guilty. Is that not what you are paying them to do in the first case? People often get upset when they are watching a case go dreadfully wrong in their opinion and the verdict outcome is not to their liking. On the other hand if it directly affects that individual, friends, family, loved ones, associates or bank account; they indeed would want that same lawyer to argue in their favor then all is forgiven. I try my best not to judge a profession in its entirety as good or bad. How could that possibly be fair to all that is doing the right thing by law and the society we live in. Some lawyers obviously are only in it for the money and whatever they have to do to win the case…good or bad...They definitely will not leave the money on the table. So it just depends on if you have had an actual run in with lawyers in my opinion if you actually really have a good or bad view of lawyers. Today I’m all about keeping my networking circle as broad as possible and that circle includes several lawyers who I feel like would definitely come in hand one day if I need any legal questions!!!
