What motivates you?

We all make choices that impact our lives and the lives of others. Our decision making is often a result of the values we were brought up with, who we looked up to, and our own barometer of what was right and wrong. As children, the demarcation between right and wrong was very clearly drawn. As adults, we often learn that these lines aren't so clear - a lot of grey area exists. It's that grey area that causes consternation and forces us to question our motivations.

What would motivate you to seek legal counsel? Is it the desire to right a wrong? Or is it the need to exact some form of retribution? Revenge?

Would you or wouldn't you?

You often hear about how litigious our society is, that we don't deal with problems head on anymore. But what you don't often hear is the fact that society has changed in such a way that oftentimes, seeking the support of a lawyer is necessary. Much of that has to do with the fact that today, people are the underdogs and we fight for the underdog.

If faced with a situation where you felt that you were harmed or injured as a result of someone's (in)action, would you seek legal counsel? If yes, why? If no, why not?
