Generally most people’s opinion is that lawyers are people who you need to be wary off. But the fact is that when the same people get themselves in a legal mess the first person they think of is their lawyer to sort out the situation for them and they become reliant of our knowledge and experience so why not give us the respect that we deserve in the first place.

The public's esteem for the legal profession has been gradually falling, partly due to giving the impression that the motivation is money, and partly due to the public's general loss of regard for anyone in authority: experts, professionals, and leaders generally. This is obviously not good for all branches of the legal profession but also, very importantly, it is bad for the layman and for society generally.

The results so far are quite strange. Presumably those who are entering are junior lawyers.
If they dont feel positive about the profession perhaps they should leave it before they advance futher and join a profession they believe commands respect.

I think that a lot of the public have formed an opinion on lawyers based on the 'Injury Lawyers' that advertise heavily in the media. I don't think injury lawyers are well respected but I think the public generalise and think that all lawyers do a similar thing.

I am not a Solicitor or lawyer but have been subject to being sued for a work related matter. I have found little comfort in any Solicitors advice, as it appears that the Law is beyond their control. It is not a matter of whether a Solicitor can sort it out because it appears to be out of their control and the only moves to be done are deals. These deals are often mere negotiations between solicitors and not the Law as such, but who can out fox the other one. The 'out foxing' does not always reflect justice. I object to the comment of people 'getting themselves in a legal mess', it is more likely that a person is being pursued by a Solicitor in the first place and therefore has to go to another one to sort it out.If that happens to you, try and sort it yourself for no fee.
