Wily Veterans

If there's one thing I hate more than wily veteran lawyers, it is wily veteran lawyers with their clients present in a hearing.

I spent yesterday afternoon at a hearing with one just like that. It's bad enough that he employed all the "wily veteran tactics" during the hearing such as, but not limited to, testifying for his client/witness and attempting to take over the court interpreter's job (Just imagine translating the Filipino word for "none" ("wala") into "none yet" ("wala pa") and hoping to get away with it.)

But then he had to go all dramatic on us. He appeared to be almost in tears and about to have a heart attack in the course of arguing for his clients' so-called cause.

But we could see through that. It was all an act for his clients. And I think they bought it, hook, line and sinker. For sure, he was paid his appearance fees yesterday.

Unfortunately for these clients, they have a lost cause and whatever cr@p their lawyer peddled upon them (that they could win and that they have a valid case to being with) was totally untrue, for reasons I cannot blog about. The only one that would benefit from this entire experience was that over-acting lawyer, because he was the only one paid insofar as that case is concerned.

The world needs less of those lawyers in the world.

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
