You won't find many lawyers that really earned their spot, but I am the exception.  I grew up in real poverty and got out of it through hard work and force of will.  Ask other attorneys about their background and you'll hear a lot that grew up with priviledge, and just got by because of whom they know.  I grew tired of working at firms, and even government jobs, where performance did not matter, it was who you knew, so I started my own firm.  Other lawyers love to give you a lot of talk, but they take on so many clients you won't get personal service once they get your money.  I will work with you until the case is over, and prepare you for what will come after.  Don't just be another paycheck for a large firm, get personal service.
