Sorry to hear about your experience. As with any other profession, the "bad" & "unethical" ones always paint a horrible picture of all. I do agree that there are some real questionable attorneys out there and I have been duped by quite a few, those that have been around a very long time -- the good old boys!! And I have had judges make decisions that have been heartbreaking -- just wrong decisions!! But I guess, being a member of the bar for only 3 years, I can still find the good in it and in most of the players.
