This Makes Me Sick to be a Lawyer

Thanks to an awesome friend and reader, I saw this video (found by Robert Ambrogi).

This appears to be a lawyer in a deposition (or similar context). He’s being asked “Are you truthful in your dealings with your employees?,” and he will not answer, claiming it’s vague, ambiguous, and over broad.

Honestly, things like this give all lawyers horrible reputations. I’ve got heartburn right now, partly from my nacho dinner and partly because of this slimy guy.

In every industry, there are black sheep. Take network marketing as another example – a legitimate and very powerful business model is now condemned by many because some people chose not to follow the system.

Believe in yourself – keep doing what you do!

Kian,

You definitely bring up a good point about there always being some black sheep around. Sadly, it’s usually the people who want something for nothing (or very little work) that end up having bad reputations.

Luckily, awesome people like yourself are able to have good reputations!
