It's true - there are a lot of lawyer jokes out there, and a lot of talk about how bad lawyers are. But the thing you have to realize is that a lot of it is just that - is just talk. It isn't warranted, in other words. It's true that there are a lot of bad lawyers out there. But there are a lot of good ones, too. Lawyers help our society to function smoothly. After all, lawyers are experts in the law. It's true that you hear that lawyers are evil. It's true that you hear that lawyers are scum. It's true that you hear that lawyers are greedy, stingy, predatory people who will steal your last dollar and let you rot in the street. But if you ever find yourself in trouble with the law; if you ever find yourself cheated badly by someone else; if you ever find yourself hurt by someone, or if you ever accidentally or purposely hurt someone (as in, for example, a divorce case), you'll be glad to have a good lawyer on your side.
What's a trial litigation attorney?
Litigation is basically what happens before a trial. Let's say you have two parties, Party A and Party B. Party A says that Party B stole something valuable from him, and he wants it back. Party B says that he never stole anything. Party A and Party B will both hire a trial litigation attorney (also called a trial litigation lawyer). The trial litigation attorneys or lawyers of Party A and Party B will write each other letters. The letters will say - "My client is suing your client for this," and "My client says he never stole that from your client," etc. Trial litigation lawyers and attorneys want to keep the case from going to court. Trial litigation lawyers and attorneys want to settle the case out of court. Trial litigation lawyers and attorneys want to settle the case while it's still in the litigation process. Trial litigation lawyers and attorneys will keep writing letters back and forth together, saying "We now have these details to prove our case," and "We dispute those details because they're contradicted by these other details," and so forth. The case may eventually go to trial; or the case may be solved in litigation by the trial litigation attorneys and lawyers.
