Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I'm telling you, if you need a hatchet man, I'll be right there.

"Here's how it's going to be. This is the services I'll offer, and this is the price. You can accept politely, shop around, or complain. If you decide to complain, that short guy hanging out in martial arts gear will punch you in the face, and you will then be allowed to take another stab at reviewing the terms and conditions."

Sigh.  ::)

Must be the media >.> Portraying lawyers as evil and cold-hearted but super efficient, super able people who can slap fees and payments on you faster than you can say a short phrase.

Of course, everyone knows it's just joking, but some of it seeps through.

We're just lucky to know Truean. True is less soulsucking-greasy-slimeball-stereotype, and more LawBatman-inna-dress.

Another night in my office working my ass off alone, unappreciated, and somehow underpaid while being told I'm expensive. It's Friday night and I'm here, like I was last Friday night, and like I will be Saturday night. I'm building this thing up from quite honestly nothing and completely by myself. It is slow freaking going starting a law firm from nothing.... I've been pulling 14 hour days sometimes and going for at minimum 80 hour weeks for the first month or so. Tis insane.

[bitching but arguably justifiable bitching]
I get that lawyers aren't cheap, but the complaining is legendary given that I am charging a fraction of what many others are.
[/bitching but arguably justifiable bitching]

I literally work at least twice as hard as pretty much any of these people (in hours worked alone), and they don't care.

Today, I won an eviction (back rent) for a landlord, and even managed to get attorney's fees and court costs awarded. I literally could not have done a better job. Do you know what the fucking landlord said, "hum, its about time...." ???

Keep a chart in your office, one with a graph of your prices compared to those of your competitors. Show it to your clients who complain, and then ask them if they want another lawyer.

It's a refreshing view on the reality of the job as seen by regular lawyers, not the top-ladder guys who barely laywer in person o.O

I always see True as less Phoenix Wright (seriously, don't you guys know any other fictional lawyers?) and more like Atticus Finch. True has the...well...truth at hand, but the public is too stupid to see it.

Finally someone else says it. Not all fictional lawyers are porcupine headed wanna be detectives.

And now I will forever think of Truean as Atticus Finch in a dress. Thank you SO much. ::)
