What Is One Profession That You Have Absolutely Zero Respect For?

[Hanzo]

And why?

[cuttsie]

The giant Law firms , The Ambulance chasers , multiple lawyers flooding the courts at every opportunity to make millions from any cause no matter how hope less ,

Lets sue them is the shout from the lowest crinkled neck whiplash (cash for a crash brigade to football wives and film stars ) 

You see them  on TV wheeling their wheelie bin loaded evidence  into courts throughout the land , then again  on TV in their Savil Row suited smugness spouting on any subject that just happens to be a current must be discussed. 

Not talking about the small solicitors offices scattered around its the big boys who always have the biggest office blocks in City. Centres the leaches on the land .

I agree Cutsie.

 

Everytime I hear of a case 'vs the Crown' I wince. They usually cost £millions, and guess who's paying? The good old taxpayer once again....

But the profession as a whole is lawyers. This is why this is a troll topic/thread, because there is no profession for which anyone should have zero respect.  Even the police, with their racism, their corruption, misogyny and abuses of power - there are still some who do a good job to keep people safe.

Tv and movie stars putting unbelievably trivial news online and in newspapers about their depression, nervous breakdowns etc even when their pets have died to get more work themselves.  There are ordinary people fighting cancer etc who suffer in silence.

You do realise that most of the biggest firms in the prestigious offices have sod all to do with personal injury compensation claims. If they do, they are usually acting on the defendant side so their job is too dismiss and discredit such claims.  

 

To my knowledge two of the biggest firms in our city do some work acting for government departments and therefore part of their job is trying to dismiss actions and save money for the public purse.

 

If you want to find those leaching TV ambulance chasers, as you call them, nowadays they are very often small practices getting into bed with claim management companies based in out off town office parks or some ramshackle High Street shop unit. 

 

As for those  footballers wives and film stars, do not think that famous people are entitled to the same justice and access to defend their position like anybody else.  If Joe Bloggs is having some dispute and goes into his local solicitors to pay them to write a cease and desist letter - how is that any different to  major celebrity or high profile company in dispute with say, a publisher, paying a large corporate law firm to do just the same thing only bigger scale?  Whichever lawyers are involved the principles are still the same.  

 

Everyone always seems to hate lawyers except that inevitable day when they suddenly need one themselves

Strange, you never seem to give a toss about that when cases are being pursued by those so-called poverty stricken benefits claimants against the evil DWP.

 

Or cases about those poor downtrodden public sector workers with their unions continually challenging the government over pay or terms or changes to contract.

 

Or all those do-gooder organisations continually seeking to thwart and delay government policy with their endless judicial reviews or challenges against parliament or screaming and demanding yet another multi million pound public inquiry over something.....

 

Very selective Anna.  Perhaps you think the state should just roll over and cash out every claim and challenge it gets. 

 

It's entitled to put up a fight just as much as anything else.

Those cases are done on legal aid, Irwin Mitchell do some of them. You should know that since you like to infer that you are a lawyer.

It's the good guys that root out the bad apples.

What would it be like if  the bad apples were never found?
