Do yoy think in civil matters that lawyers look out for your interest?:
Lawyers are motivated by a combination of money and power. Without legal disputes, such as in civil matters, there would be a dramatic decline in the need for those lawyers. So, yes lawyers are trying to make you money but, the bottom line is their pocket-book, not yours!!! So, this is really a catch 22 where both sides can win big but, the lawyers assume lots of risk in civil matters--which in some cases they make NO money, if they lose your dispute. So, before lawyers touch many civil cases they will pose some really important questions, i.e, is this a winnable case and is this worth my time--considering how much I (lawyer) could potentially earn?

Civil law is still a popular area of law but, there is a huge need now for immigration lawyers. So, if law is your interest then consider that area.
