Car accident lawyers have gotten a pretty bad rap over the years, and perhaps deservedly so.  Lovingly dubbed ‘ambulance chasers’, car accident lawyers are renown for their wheeling and dealing and overall desire to exploit an accident for all its worth. 

I wouldn't have become a juvenile lawyer if not for my past. You see, I grew up in an abusive and neglectful home. It's kind of hard to talk about, but its important for me to express myself and explain why I have such a passion for advocating the rights of youth. You see, my mother was an alcoholic, and mentally ill as well. My father, for his part, would beat me whenever mom wasn't around, which was often. I was often taken away from my parents, bounced around the system for a while, and then given back, only to be taken away again. And on and on it went, over and over until I was 18. That is when I decided that I would make my career as a juvenile lawyer and advocate for youths who the system doesn't allow to speak for themselves.

Yeah, I know. I've heard more lawyer jokes than you have. I've heard them all – I'm an attorney. Not just any attorney either; I'm a medical malpractice lawyer. You've heard us called ambulance chasers. You've probably heard us called worse than that. Still, I maintain that what I do is necessary. If you had seen some of the negligent things happen that I have seen, you'd probably think twice before cracking the next joke at the expense of a medical malpractice lawyer.
