A good attorney is worth his weight in gold.
Tell me you've never done jack shit in your life without actually telling me.
I dunno... Every time I end up in court for some reason, the liar... err, lawyer that's the other party's ends up embarrassed and laughed at by the judge for saying or asking stupid shit of me as a witness...
Me at some party at someone's home...
Lawyer: Hi, I'm so-and-so. I'm a lawyer.
Me: Shocked look on my face, holding a hand over my mouth. Oh my god! You parents--if you knew them--must be so disappointed!
And, yes, I really do say that right to some lawyer's face...
I despise lawyers and make no bones about it. Several friends I went to college with went to law school. One of them is a senior prosecutor here in Maricopa County.
Keith Manning

Keith D. Manning began his prosecutor career in 1992 with the Pima County Attorney’s Office and worked at the City of Phoenix Prosecutor’s Office from 1993 until 1995, when he began his career with the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. Through 2004, Mr. Manning continued training new prosecutors in the areas of DUI law and trial advocacy, as well as teaching for APAAC. In 2006, he began service as a Law Enforcement Liaison, working to enhance training and cooperation with Valley law enforcement agencies throughout Maricopa County.

He's wrapped way too tight. But I'd tell him
When we shoot all the lawyers, you'll get head of the line privileges!
So, I have ZERO compunction to be nice to lawyers. I usually toss the paperwork at them, tell them to fill the shit out for me to review, then say this is how things will go. I'm not to be fucked with.
A good lawyer knows the law. A great lawyer knows the judge. Guess which sort of liar... err, lawyer I hire...
