If they don’t care, you’ll get random results to a trial and they still get paid. But lawyers put their whole effort to get the best results.

A good lawyer always wins
It is not true. Sometimes your case is not strong and you have very slight chances of winning. Still, a lawyer gives his/her 100 % to defend your case but fails to win. It doesn’t mean that he/she didn’t try. In some cases, you feel wronged but legally you can not take action. It doesn’t mean that the lawyer is incompetent.

It’s hard-to-understand lawyers’ language

Lawyers protect the innocent only
