I know lawyers get a bad rap and it's well-deserved in many cases, but I think of a labor lawyer who took on the case of a cleaner in her 70s who died of a heart attack on the job but whose family was denied benefits, so the lawyer did the same work she did at the time of death cleaning stairs and recorded his heart rate demonstrating that it's a significant physical strain for a thirtysomething man, to say nothing of a lady twice his age, winning the case for her family. Working-class solidarity ftw

@ljwrites honestly besides prosecutors, i feel like the bad rap is largely undeserved

@ljwrites i feel like the mainstream depiction of a bad lawyer is like, defense attorneys hired by rich mafiosos to let them get out of murder charges but that’s maybe 0.0001 percent of all lawyers
