Lines: 12 The only problem I have with the idea that "the lawyer is there to check for unusual situations and is insured if anything goes wrong" is that it doesn't work that way in reality. A majority of the lawyers I've hired and known are only in it for the MONEY. Lawyers want their money up front and usually only ones working on law suits will work on fees to be paid later. Some lawyers have been known to drop a case when the client runs out of money. A friend of mine had this happen. It's not a noble profession, but motivated by greed, like everything else, C. J.
