Did you hear the one about the lawyer who ...

actually did some good?

All kidding aside, for the most part lawyers are good people if you're the client, as evidenced by by this post about a brain injury lawyer.

My experience with lawyers in general is that they'll really fight for you. They have to, there's so many of them out there that they have a lot of competition. Unless you live in a small town; then you're really stuck.

Just remember: lawyers are human, too (most of them, anyway).
