I just sent this post to a bunch of my friends as I agree with most of what you’re saying here and the way you’ve presented it is awesome.

Problem is, Tammy Lynn, that even when the law is clearly in favor of one side of a dispute, the dispute does not go away unless both parties agree to drop it or an appeals court makes a final decision. Lawsuits all have two sides (or more). Fewer than 5% of lawsuits are decided on the law. The rest settle for many reasons, including the persistence of a party whose case is weak under the law.

The real truth is that any hope that a person will achieve "victory" in a lawsuit is a false hope. People who win lawsuits are dissatisfied with the legal system almost as frequently as as those who lose.

Well it is also the respondsibility of lawyers to let their clients know if the law will be in favor of them or the other side and not give them false hopes. If they have a case based on the facts and it is a 80/20 chance they will previal in court then yes take it to court but if its a 50/50 chance the lawyer should tell them that and not give them hopes of anything more. Some lawyers just milk the situtation, I have seen it so many times it makes me sick.

Either way you look at it there are never any winners. Both sides will lose something. The lawyers only win because all the money tied into cases are never really won. There always has to be a winner and a loser. And when its a case when its his word against her word there is no one to believe especailly if they are both to blame. Its a he said she said situation and those never hold up in court.

Even clients who are trying to tell the truth often do not know which facts are legally significant. Law looks at events through so many screens that ordinary people who just want to tell their story get frustrated. So what we get is not a story with 2 sides, but a story with 4 sides: my side, your side, my lawyer's side and your lawyer's side.

True but sometimes clients do not always tell the truth so you as a lawyer sometimes have to seek out the truth. Because there are 2 sides to a story
