My voicemail this morning which, as usual, was filled with people explaining ad nauseum about how they want to sue all sorts of people who looked at them funny, sold them a crappy car, blah, blah, blah, [if i had a rubber mallett for every crazy id like to pummel...] but i also had a few other "interesting" messages.
One was from a lawyer who says he has been doing family law for 15 years. After confirming that he was sending some documents i requested from him... he said [and i quote, im actually typing his message verbatim]
...honestly, though, I looked you up on the Lawyer Search. You are young, you are new to this. You've only been called for a year. Get the Hell out of family law. Its horrible. I wouldnt wish my life on anyone. There are crazy people out there. And they will find a way to your office.
Uhhhhh....okay.
My next message was from the mother of one of my clients. She lives in another province and i am having a hard ass time trying to get her son custody of his daughter. Her son knows what an uphill battle i have had and how much work Ive put into this file. However.... Mom calls me and rants for 10 minutes about how useless i am and how she
"knows i am quite happy to sit back and do nothing while her granddaughter is being molested and have the nerve to bill her thousands of dollars because i am that sick".
Now i think i should call that elder family lawyer and ask him whatelse he can see in his crystal ball.
