An injury lawyer is actually an honorable profession. Think about it. They help someone who was physically injured by someone else get fairly compensated- almost always via insurance. They are doing something good.

Going through a claims process for an accident with fatalities (not me, haha) and a serious brain injury (me, not haha) made me realize that the other side does NOT play fair when the money gets big. You need representation. An injury attorney is an entirely necessary entity and as I said, the most honorable of the species IMHO.
