atorney

[you__l acquire] A certain amount of cynicism. This business works on you. When you were in law school you had some noble idea what a lawyer should be. A champion of individual rights; a defender of the Constitution; a guardian of the oppressed; an advocate for your client__ principles. Then after you practice for six months you realize you were nothing but hired guns. Mouthpieces for sale to the highest bidder, available to anybody, any crook, any sleazebag with enough money to pay your outrageous fees. Nothing shocks you. It__ supposed to be an honorable profession, but you__l meet so many crooked lawyers you__l want to quit and find an honest job. Yeah Mitch, you__l get cynical. And it__ sad, really.
