EOC week 2: What do you think about lawyers?

I’ve met a bunch of lawyers before and mostly all of them are the same. They start with being really nice to you explaining things and promise they would help you who in some cases do but at the same time they won’t help unless you have money to show for it. Some are really hard to talk to and if you call them nonstop will get irritated and just ignore you. I guess some are different. Not all people are the same and others are probably willing to help out without giving you a hard time. For my experience, I dealt with some lawyers that was very helpful and became really good friends with the family. You can always ask people with advice but I think when you have lawyers, when you represent yourself in court, etc. you would not look like a fool in front of other people. I guess you could say lawyers are expert in giving advices in all kinds of situations and it is better to consult them when needed. Especially when you are a type of person who does not really know about any legal rights or just came from a foreign country who doesn’t understand anything, it is best to ask an expert for help which is finding a good lawyer who will be willing to help. It never hurts to talk to a lawyer, you can get free consultation which is really a good thing but some actually ask for payments by hours. Overall, I believe there are lawyers out there that you can trust but you really need to look for them. Do not trust anyone easily unless you think they can be trusted because they will just ask you for money and that means, bad for you.
