[lbo-talk] Give Up

[andie nachgeborenen]

A very small percentage of us are corporate piranas. I
am one. Of course I also defend poor clients in
criminal cases. Most lawyers are snmall businesspeople
do low lervel transactional work (writing contracts
and the like). Of course we are all scum who lie for
money. Ah well. Maybe one of my brethern/sistern took
R to the cleaners in a divorce. I don't do family law,
myself. I prefer defending nice quiet aggravated
murderers. It's a more peaceful practice. jks
