There is a MUCH bigger percentage of 'bad' lawyers than there is of any
other profession. As a professional engineer I do not tote around my
ability to make people money in the same way as those huckster-ambulance
chasers on TV. I have many personal bad experiences of lawyers but NONE of
doctors, dentists (except 1), engineers, scientists, or similar. That says
something. Apparently the ratio of lawyers to population is TEN times
higher in the USA as compared to Japan. My greatest 'lawyer moment' was
when London Life said they would not sign a contract with me if they
detected lawyer influence in my specifications for a very large computer
system - oh joy - everyone understood what was what !!!
Sorry to bore the list but I bear the scars of a useless and frivolous $2M
suit against me - only the lawyers won
