A bad lawyer can let a case drag out for several years.
A good lawyer can make it last even longer.

I am a clinical psychologist, and i am one of those practitioner who charge client with a very least clinical fees. I never accept cases for sometime because my partner lawyers charge our client more than what i charge. After their referral for clinical evaluation, they really try to ask for discounta, and you well know that lawyer/ counsel charges the client ,as much as hundred thousand or more and if they cannot filed the petition after the client had paid them, they would advise their client to ask their psychologist/ psychiatrist why the petition was not yet filed. As far as we are concerned, payments for our clinical evaluation must be set aside, or depending on what agreement are in between. May some of the lawyers be kind enough to file the petitioners complaint after payment of the acceptance fee, coz we psychologist are doing our part to make the case updated and worth at the most. Thank you very much. Lanni

I applaud Assoc. Justice Antonio T. Carpio for writing the decision in the case of Lambino versus Comelec. It creates trust among the populace. The integrity of the judiciary is once again vindicated. Nothing can be added to to improve the decision. It is always a joy and inspiration to find men who cannot be bought or sold. Men who in their inmost souls are true and honest. Men who do not fear to call sin by its right name. Men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole. Men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.

Atty. Glenn, I’m terribly sorry if I have to disagree. I hate to be a killjoy or something, but I believe it’s more below the belt than funny. It’s a joke, of course, and what’s funny is subjective, that’s why I have to apologize. Still, there are efforts to address the view that lawyers intentionally drag cases for years. It’s unfair to those who are doing their little way to erase this perception.

Let me share with you this one old joke I posted in my office:

What’s the difference between a good lawyer and a bad lawyer?

Answer:

A bad lawyer can let a case drag out for several years.
A good lawyer can make it last even longer.

Panyero, it is a noble profession, but lawyers are also human beings. Anyone, I guess everyone has his (comic) day in court.

I’ve heard and read a lot of lawyer’s jokes. And it keeps me laughing. This is perhaps one of the many reasons why a lot of people want to become lawyers. With all the jokes and funny stories about lawyers, it’s really a “noble” profession (laughs)!

Major Tom, same here, which is the reason why I decided to post it. It is sometimes necessary to appear dumb to keep the witness off-balance. On the other hand, there are really dumb questions. The line is usually blurred =)
