YOU standing at a crossroads, map in hand, trying to determine which road would lead to tragedy and which outland you in a coil of legal mystery. But deep inside this complex maze live types of lawyers; rogues and champions of both circuit and boardroom.
To those unfamiliar with legal circles, let’s begin. Lawyers are like that in reality. They cut through laws just like a cook moves to the root of the matter while chopping it. But don’t be fooled by that, they’re not all boring and serious. Build a case for a competent attorney and you’d swear that you were looking for a dramatic stage where every act and dialogue changes the whole story.
It sure doesn’t go entirely according to plan though. Like a cat on a hot tin roof, Laws are completely unpredictable. Legal trend that is hot now will disappear tomorrow leaving even the best legal minds flustered. All this ambiguity doesn’t stop our brave legal fighters. They love this chaos and change their obstacles into stepping stones.
Talk to any seasoned attorney and there is a story involving countless sleepless nights, number of cups coffee and even some hair being pulled in frustration at some point of life. You’d see them buried in papers, after staying up all night reading. The clock does not stop ticking, pointing towards the date of next court showdown. Just as a craftsman you could say acquires expertise through practice does an eminent lawyer have their raw skills polished over the passage of time.
But what about the match with the client? Drilling down to the heart of an issue means that lawyers would have to put in a lot of effort to read their client’s silent communication with aggressive questioning. Much more an art, being able to hear the whispers of the justice that only few can listen to not science.
Alway wondered why the lawyer does what he does? Some think the thrill of high-stakes cases while others find satisfaction in closing a file with thorough hearing. Whatever it may be, the job is undeniably a grabber. Always ask by all means, and when you do so sincerely a fair answer would come out sooner or later. If you’re calm like a captain sailing on serene water, brief and keep in mind that sailing in a boat while the wind is rough makes a lawyer easier to negotiate with.
For every soul that ventures forth into this castle of legal world, though at first sight intimidating, the journey offers unremitting thrills. Here march the fearless armed with nothing but a briefcase and a spirit that won’t quit.
