Been dealing with a very frazzled, high-strung insurance defense lawyer today.
I know lots of these people, and for the most part, I get along fine with most of them.
The bottom line is they are doing a job.
They have families and bills to pay.
It’s just what they do.
I don’t take it personally.

But every once in a while I come across an angry and bitter insurance defense lawyer.
You know, the kind you wonder if anyone loves them and if there is anybody they care about, either.
Bitter.
Over-worked.
Angry with humanity.
Sell their soul to the big insurance money.

As maddening as it can be, I force myself to see where they are coming from.
How sad.
What an existence.
Out to screw the regular guy.
Good grief.

Fortunately most of the defense lawyers I deal with are just fine.
Many are even good people.
They do their job and I do mine.
First and foremost, comes my client.
I’ve seen too much buddy- buddy among some lawyers that compromises the rights of clients.
I try to be easy to get along with and treat people the way I want to be treated.

I could never represent an insurance company.
