ethics

In a recent psychology class, my daughter's classmates indicated that they felt lawyers, as a group, were unethical. My daughter did not speak up to defend me, her mother, her stepfather or the many other attorneys she knows. She didn't feel like creating a problem especially since she felt totally outnumbered.

So, why are lawyers, as a group, considered unethical by college students? Why are we characterized as sharks, bloodsuckers and leeches? A recent discussion at my office brought this comment by one of your lawyers during a discussion of the value called justice:
We aren't here to do justice. We are advocates. Our
job is to get the best deal we can for our clients.
