LAWYERS: HONEST THIEVES?
by David J. Stewart
I call lawyers... honest thieves. And for good reason, because lawyers are masters of extortion, i.e., obtaining money from their victims through intimidation. Sadly, that victim is often their client. Lawyers are known as serial liars! It's tragic that lawyers are such a rotten bunch, and they certainly are. Years ago, I made a statement to a lawyer that perturbed him. I made the simple statement that "America has become a nation of liars." He immediately snapped back, saying... "Well if it weren't for our laws you couldn't have a website like yours." That's funny, I wasn't talking about laws, I was talking about liars. You see, I hit a sore nerve with that lawyer.
Lawyers are LIARS!... with few exceptions. Lawyers have a flawed sense of morality that allows them to cheat their clients, while feeling good about it at the same time. This is not surprising in a nation that sees no evil in murdering little children by abortion. This is not surprising in a nation that sees no harm with homosexuality. A common lawyer's tactic is to deliberately overcharge a client, then offer to reduce the bill by at the end. So a client gets milked for $15,000, but thinks he's getting a good deal since his bill has been reduced. Of course, this makes the crooked lawyer feel like an honest man. This type of unethical swindling happens hundreds of times every day in America. I am not attacking any particular lawyer in this article. I am simply saying that lawyers in general take financial advantage of their clients. It's just the business. I mean, if you suffer a horrible accident, and receive a legal settlement for your loss, your lawyer takes at least ONE -THIRD!!! Folks that's crooked and rotten!
Many lawyers are thugs, who ravish their victims, mercilessly, thousands of dollars at a time. I got so mad at my lawyer in Chicago that I said to him... You seem to like the number 2,000!... because that's what he kept charging me every month... $2,000 month-after-month. Lawyers oftentimes exploit their clients, at a time of weakness and fear. Lawyers KNOW that psychology plays a big part in any legal case. Don't think for one moment that your lawyer is on your side. Even though he's taking your money, his first and foremost allegiance is to THE SYSTEM, i.e., the judge and other lawyers. Birds of a feather flock together.
In ANY legal case, everybody makes money accept the victim. The lawyers make money, the judge makes money, the court employees make money, et cetera; but you lose your shirt. This is why lawyers and judges deliberately delay court cases on a regular basis--it's a form of thievery. The longer the case drags on, the more money everybody working in THE SYSTEM makes, while you spiral downward into the abyss of bankruptcy. No wonder why Jesus scathed the lawyers in His time with the following words... "And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne..." (Luke 11:46). Lawyers often destroy people's lives, by placing unbearable financial burdens upon them, causing stress related illnesses and even suicide.
The entire legal profession is monopolized by lawyers, through the Bar Association, to ensure that the dictatorship is maintained. Talk about the wolf guarding the hen house. We are at the mercy of lawyers in America. If you think you have legal rights, think again! If you don't have $15,000 to pay a lawfirm to represent you, then you have no rights. Oh sure, you get a free lawyer if you're charged with a crime and can't afford one; but MANY of the court cases, such as with Child Protective Services' (CPS) cases, do not provide for free legal representation. In such administrative hearing cases, parents often lose their children to a godless and monstrous governmental system regulated by gangster lawyers and judges. The most dangerous sharks don't live in the ocean!
Hell WILL BE hot enough for 95% of America's lawyers. Many lawyers are THIEVES. They extort money out of their clients through lies, intimidation, and unethical business practices. Another lawyer's tactic is to charge extreme amounts of money for "research." Some lawyers think it's ok to rip off the public, because that's the going cost for a lawyer. However, lawyers are fully aware of the ridiculous amount of money they charge clients, compared to the small amount of legal work actually done. Lawyers do a very minimal amount of work, and then charge their clients well over $10,000. God sees their evil. I don't care if it's an industry practice, God will punish every single lawyer who charges anyone for work not performed. Legal bills have become outrageous! It's not ok to bully money from people.
Some lawyers deliberately instill fear into their clients, through bluffs, knowing that a client in a weakened emotional state will call umpteen times to find out what's going on with their case. Cha-Ching! Over several months this equates to thousands of dollars. My lawyer in Chicago charged me $250 per hour, and $62.50 every time I called him for any reason.
Lawyers have a bad reputation for ignoring their clients. So out of curiosity, you can't help but call your lawyer to see what's going on with your case (since he's not telling you). This is another reason why I call lawyers Honest Thieves. By you calling him, he can justify charging you... because he didn't call you, you called him. Lawyers all know how to LEGALLY take people's money. Lawyers don't like to call their clients and charge them, because that could come back to haunt them if a complaint if filed later against them. By continually calling your lawyer, he can rip you off and then BLAME YOU for calling him too much. Greedy lawyers deliberately place stress upon their clients (as Jesus said... burdens grievous to be borne); thus causing you to worry and naturally call to inquire about your legal situation. There are several unethical methods that lawyers use to legally rob people. This is why I call lawyers Honest Thieves... because lawyers take advantage of people and feel justified in doing so. Truly, I have more respect for a man who shovels sewage for a living than I do for the average lawyer. I have more respect for an honest homosexual than I do for a dishonest lawyer. My favorite part of the movie Jurassic Park is when the tyrannosaurus dinosaur eats the lawyer.
We have good reason not to trust lawyers. Lawyers and judges are sneaky, and know how to manipulate people, and they do. Lawyers are very careful what they put into writing; but they demand that you put everything in writing. An honest lawyer is a poorer lawyer. I do not hate lawyers; however, most lawyers are scary people. Many lawyers are thug gangsters, and would stoop lower than low to win a lawsuit. Many court cases are settled behind closed doors, out of court. This is where justice is often perverted. It's all about the love of money, which is the root of all evil (1st Timothy 6:10).
As I mentioned earlier, I hit a raw nerve when I told a lawyer that America had become a nation of liars. He became defensive and I knew immediately that I had hit home... because the legal profession is saturated with LIARS! Yet, sinfully, lawyers have convinced themselves that it's ok take financial advantage of their clients. John 10:10 tells us that Satan is a thief... "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy." Many lawyers are in league with the Devil. Many lawyers are Honest Thieves, i.e., they cheat people legally. Lawyers are experts at manipulating the law, and people. I heard a women lawyer say, "A good layer can take away money from anyone with deep pockets." Lawyers cut people's throats financially, and then hide behind the law. Thieves! I don't hate anyone, for Christ died for the ungodly; but I despise greedy lawyers who mercilessly take advantage of families. It's because of incompetent lawyers and judges that alcohol is legal, and alcohol-impaired drivers are allowed to continue driving recklessly down America's streets. Although there are a few good lawyers and judges, gold is much easier to find than an honest lawyer, or a righteous judge.
Woe unto lawyers!
Why Lawyers are the Scum of the Earth!
