Good grief. I disagree with Ramrouser on a lot of political stuff but this broadside against of counsel is a gross exaggeration, IMO. I work with terrific counsel / of counsel lawyers — in a lot of cases, folks whose specific expertise is quite valuable and outweighs their marketing skills to generate their own book of business.Now I understand why you are so angry. Your life has been an unmitigated failure in every way. You went from a privileged background to an of counsel position with a tiny firm.
Just so all the non-lawyers know, an of counsel position with a four person firm is about the lowest job you can get as a practicing attorney. Not quite the lowest -- the sad sacks and drunkards whom Texas employs to handle capital cases for indigent defendants are probably the lowest. But it takes special incompetence to go from a wealthy NC Republican to groveling for scraps from a treasonous criminal.
