I think in a normal environment in most cases lawyers can be understandable. In my experiences with them they are hard working and establish a very close client relationship. They have to get to know them in order to represent them. To understand their clients is important to gain their trust.
However, there are some out there that are in it only for the profit. In a sense they all are, but how they present themselves to you to get your trust in order to gain the case that they are fighting for is important. I think that alot of manipulation of the mind and of words come into play with them. They are overpaid for the most part but they speak for people that cannot speak for themselves. That is the lighter side of them. They are your voice on occasion.In the movie that we saw today in class, the lawyer was the quiet type and his assistant whom wasn't even a lawyer actually portrayed the lawyer's position well. The clients were undoubtedly wronged by the water from the electrical company and they were trying to hide it by offering to buy their property. The lawyers representing the company were without a doubt unaware of how dangerous the situation had become. That's where all of the doubts of them come into play from the investigating of the company to the medical bills that the clients had. If you're wrong you're wrong. Its their job to find out where!
