What to do if you hate lawyers.
First of all, know that you are not alone! I come from a family that had ZERO love for the legal profession. My grandfather, on numerous occasions, said that lawyers should burn in hell. My dad, a sheriff’s officer, didn’t have many great things to say about lawyers either. I actually never even wanted to be an attorney, but after floundering for a while after college, I somehow ended up applying to law school. When I told my parents I was going to become an attorney, they were not encouraging. “Why do we need a lawyer in the family?!” they said. While other parents were rejoicing and proud that their child had been accepted to law school, mine were skeptical and dismissive. All that to say – I understand why you hate attorneys! Especially if you have a background or experience where the legal profession has been looked down on…
