But deceiving or not, can appearances be damaging?

It's the end of the year and you've put in some grueling hours at your law firm. Normally, you'd expect there will be a little something extra for your efforts, but this year has been anything but normal for most people. Some firms may be ready to be as generous as possible, while others seem to feel that being employed in this economy is bonus enough. "Bonuses will be few and far between," said Peter Giuliani, a law firm economic adviser. "It's going to be a lean year for some associates."

Bush and later as deputy counsel in the White House under George W. Bush. But many lawyers and politicians in Connecticut said they hadn't heard of Farren, 57, before he was arrested on attempted murder charges last week after allegedly strangling and beating his wife in their New Canaan home.
