Lawyers...Yuk

I agree...I love those "The adjuster works for the Insurance company" ads. Being I used to work in insruance claims. The majority of the attorneys take 40% off the top of any settlement you get. Some are more, depending on the amount a claimant receives. I hated the fact that people would get 1/2 or less (after paying taxes as well) of what they would have had they not hired lawyer.

There are plenty of problems with the system, but they aren't the fault of all lawyers. If you ever get charged with a crime, I'm sure you will be very happy to have one.
