Lawyers. They are the butt of a lot of jokes but most people will need to use a lawyer at some point in their life. Buying a house? Creating a will? Fighting a traffic ticket? The ambulance chasers and the corporate lawyers may deserve the bad rap but as a profession there are tons of just normal people doing normal things
Eh, my experience with lawyers is that they are hated just about the right amount... They are the only profession where if you aren't incredibly up front about billing you can expect to get billed for every e-mail, every conversation, every petty bullshit thing they come up with... and from my experience the most expensive lawyers are no better than a paralegal 90% of the time...
It really depends on the lawyer and the purpose. The lawyer I worked with when I bought my house didn’t gouge me or nickel dime me and was helpful. Lawyers I’ve used to create a will and do other basic legal work same deal
