When things turned south in the economy in 2008, money was tight, lawyers scrambled for fees. Real estate lawyers were observed hustling the criminal courts, charging low rates to handle felony cases, a new form of bottom feeding.

We all might share the same law degree, but the fact remains that most lawyers are adept at only a few things. I suspect you will never see me handle a real estate closing, for example. I am clueless about real estate.
