Week 5 EOC: Lawyers looking for Fame

In this case it seemed a little fishy that a lawyer wanted to represent a client that cannot pay the attorney fees associated with the case. Humberto Fernandez-Vargas, looked like he was out of options, due to the fact that his current lawyer did not have the expertise to peruse this case further up the latter. It was only because his particular case looked like it could go to the supreme court, so this interested many law firms. A lawyer could get really famous if the lawyer wins the case in the supreme court. This is the only reason that Humberto Fernandez-Vargas, got FREE representation by David M. Gossett. You could say that the client was lucky to get a free lawyer but why would you agree to that? Do you think the lawyer working for free would ever care about YOU? In my mind this act was selfish and wrong on the law firm to put a lawyer in the supreme court that was only there for fame purposes . I think it is wrong to get Humberto Fernandez-Vargas hopes up. If you are a lawyer and you only care about the fame and not about his clients well being. I think lawyers are a double edge blade, It would be a perfect world if we didn’t have to get sued and go through the courts, instead let’s govern ourselves, yea right that would never work. Can you imagine if we had total freedom, things would be a mess. People are smart but the mob scene is dumb and reckless. We need lawyers even though we hate them for taking our money, but on the flip side the average person could go to law school, learn all the laws and defend themselves.
