Where is the glamour?

Many people think lawyers represent power, glamour, and wealth. The reality can be drastically different. Most lawyers experience overwhelming stress. We deal with destroyed lives day in and day out. In the less serious case, people can lose their homes or children. The outcome of our client's situation rides on our skill and preparation. And statistically, 50% of the cases are lost. That presents a tremendous amount of stress on us that are constantly worried about your clients. We are the hardest working people that I know - with not much in the way of rewards.
