This friggin attorney come in to represent this young couple who looked like they could use a break, with a suit which was at least 2 sizes to small and wearing sneakers because he claimed he forgot his suit and had a "suit in a bag" in case of emergencies. The other PD was so old I really felt he was suffering from Alzheimer's, and another spoke to their client cluelessly. I even heard another admit he didn't have time to thoroughly review their case and to explain details. I witnessed all this sitting in the hallway. It was a joke and I so badly wished I would have had chosen a different career to help these people.
It's refreshing to hear not all are incompetent. However, I will challenge the fact they give a damn. Think about it. Why would many want to sink many hours into a case for a client who won't be able to be a repeat customer, or a case your going to be paid for anyway if you do well or not? The worst thing about PD's is that their human. Although, it's unrealistic to say all don't care. There's got to be some that are extraordinary people who give a damn about people over money. However, if God gives me the means to hire the best attorney possible, I will use it for that purpose because my faith in PD's sucks.
So basically you have no idea if they were competent or not. You just did not like the way they looked.
PDs are generally overworked, but here in Tennessee there is a lot of competion for the jobs. The ones that are selected are very qualified.
As for being motivated by profit, the same argument could be made for prosecuting attornies. Do you think none of them give a damn either?
