To ask my opinion about lawyers, two things come to mind, what has been my personal experience with anyone in that profession, and how has that differed from the opinion I’ve gained from the popular opinion. The way I see things, when it comes to popular opinion, you’re mostly just being exposed to stereotypes and negative feedback, generally most people prefer to hold a bad opinion about a person or thing over a good, and that is how stereotypes are created. So obviously when it comes to what I have learned about lawyers based on the popular opinion has been a negative one, the jokes about lawyers being blood sucking vampires comes to mind and that they are out to use people for their own financial gain.
Now when it comes to my personal opinion, fortunately and unfortunately I can’t say much since I really haven’t had much of a chance to form a strong input. I’ve never had to consult with one over a case, and I’ve never had to go to a trial to see them in action. Personally, my only experience has been through family, considering one of my cousins just happens to be one, my cousin Victor is a lawyer but considering his relations with me I can expect him to interact with me differently compared to a non relative.
So overall, I would have to say my opinion of lawyers is a bit of dread, dread that one day I will have to deal with one and find out whether or not all the stuff said is true. I dread that one day I will be placed into that situation and the process will end up costing me dearly. Fortunately since I do have a family member in the profession, in the future I do plan on consulting with him if anything is to come up, hopefully he’ll be able to do more than just give me advice.
