Week 2 EOC: Erin Brockovich

At the end of the case the end of the case they ended up giving up a reported 333 million dollars. With the end result Erin ended up getting two million dollar in bonuses. With the lawyer fee ending up being a forty percent the lawyer ended up getting $133.6-million dollars. All in all I don’t like the way some lawyers think they treat their services as a joke sometimes. I don’t like how the high class lawyers where acting as if they did not care about the feelings of the people their company hurt in the movie. I see some lawyers as really good people who want to help they just can’t because they do want the best for their clients. I think that depending on the task at hand that it reflects on how the lawyer will perform. If it does not meet their needs and wont help them in the long run they don’t want to do what it takes to win.  There are some lawyers who then are the opposite. So I have very mixed emotions about lawyers, and how they tend to operate with their clients and people they help.

I think some people often don’t want to go and get lawyers based on how much they are and how much time and effort they will put in. Because in the end you do want to be happy with the outcome. So many people tend to think that lawyers are all about their self’s and not for what’s right. In the case that Erin was in I feel like the opposing lawyers where doing it for the money. They are the reason why most people don’t trust lawyers now. Because they only want the dollars that will come to them in the end.

Overall I tend to trust a lot of lawyers based on pass experience. Because they always wanted my best interest at hand. There have been lawyers that have tried to rip me off with doing things that where not good for the situation. So it depends on the morals of the lawyers.
