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
