how do lawyer get away/reddit

Do lawyers stop at anything just to see their client acquitted?

As someone with PTSD, I'm disgusted by this doctor's testimony. You can tell she's only been given information regarding what Amber wanted her to know, she's claiming she has whiteness testimony proving Amber was being abused and Johnny wasn't, etc. yet she has the audacity to act like this is somehow prove Johnny was the abuser.

What does a lawyer do if his client is innocent or guilty?

They get a share of the profits of the firm instead. So back to the stats - according to US News, the median salary for a lawyer (of all types and levels of experience) is $118,160, with a 25th percentile of $77,580 and a 75th percentile of $176,580.

What do lawyers focus on at the end of the day?

It causes people to incorrectly believe that the things they need in an attorney embody (a) sociopathic ambition, (b) a dickish, confrontational style of negotiation that would actually backfire in the client's face every time and (c) a refusal to follow ethical standards that would get a real lawyer fired in just one day on the job.

I didn't want a divorce, I just wanted him to be a team player

So as it turns out, you can do all the cooking, all the cleaning, do all the errands, take care of the kids, let him sleep in every weekend, work a full time career making decent money, support his hopes, goals and dreams wholeheartedly, be his unpaid therapist, make all of his doctor’s appointments, pay all the bills on time, do all the laundry… and your spouse will still ask you for a divorce because you’re “too b*tchy and miserable.” This came after I wrote him a letter asking him for help and expressing some grievances about his behavior, that I heavily sugar coated so he wouldn’t feel completely attacked..

It has been a year, get over it already

1/7/2020, was supposed to be my wedding anniversary. But I got a “ I love you but I am not in love with you”. My world came crashing down. I got replaced by another woman.

I finally got my sock day and I won everything, but it tastes bittersweet

I (41m) am finally legally divorced from my ex-wife (33f) 13 year old daughter that has dealt with more than she should at that age. Infidelity, spousal abuse, false accusations that put me in the legal system for the first time in my life. All the while she maintains I'm the demon of this story. Watch your partners drinking please.

Post divorce growth

Backstory- I am about 3 months post my divorce being finalized but separated since end of January. There were some periods where we considered reconciliation the first couple of months but not since March.

Well, I'm divorced

After 25 years married (23 if you don't count the two year separation), we are now officially divorced.

Don't believe "the mask"...

Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm in the beginning stages of divorce but wanted to share my latest epiphanies in case someone reading this needs the encouragement. (details have been changed to protect the innocent)

Moving on, actually

It has been a long time since I posted here. When I did post in the past it was a steam valve, I did it to keep sane, feel a little less alone, maybe even find some reassurance that everything was going to be ok. A funny thing seems to have been developing over the last few months; it actually IS.
