Introduction

Seeing as this is my first post, I suppose I better introduce myself. The web is full of blogs by attorneys, mostly big rich important people at big important law firms, saying big important things. But most attorneys aren't handling the mult-million dollar real estate deals or raking in the bucks with big class action lawsuits.

Most attorneys, especially new ones, are trying to eek out a living, hoping to have a positive cash flow after their food, rent, and student loans are paid for each month. Most new attorneys don't drive the BMW or lexis or have the company car pick them up at their high rise condos. No, most new attorneys are driving around in the same used volvo held together by bumper stickers they drove in law school, hoping that the addition of the big "attorney" pizza sign on top will bring in some business.

This blog is dedicated to all those would-be rainmakers forced to take on pathetic cases involving pathetic people just to keep their lights on at home---they great unwashed "lower class" of attorneys, the ambulance chasers, scumbag protectors, and people who make used car salesmen look like fashion geniuses.

So while some fill their free time fretting about whether their ginormous firm will make them partner in four years (hint: they wont), I offer this sweet dish of rants, complaints, sarcasim and snobbery for your daily intellectual digestion.
