If you watched SUITS or another series about lawyers, you might know what do I mean when I say about expectation and reality of being a lawyer.
1. "I am against it!"
You could see that speech in American movies a lot of times. But in real life lawyers doesn't have a great deal of time for long pretentious speech. I just have time for: I'm a representative of "name" company, this is our debtor, he didn't pay money.
2. Suits, ties and elegant outfits.
Harvey Spectr. A person, who always wears impeccable suit. Sorry, but no. In trial I was on jeans, t-shirt and with blue hair. And I never saw a person on suit with tie. Nobody cares.
3. You must be super genius if you want to win.
Of course not. A lot of cases are very easy and obvious. Furthermore judges don't mind about details of claim and just give necessary decision.
4. Love affairs in the office.
Well, my office look live decorations from Soviet film "Love affair at the work". There are a lot of mid-fourties women and men. And no one looks like Harvey Spectr or at least Mike Ross.
Hope, that it was funny to read. Don't watch movies about lawyers, they lie! :)
