Wow. That's probably the most off-topic I've seen in a long time. If you want to discuss this, I'll move it to its own thread because it has less than nothing to do with Omri Casspi's video...
EDIT: I decided to move it anyway, just in case you're wondering how it got here.

He was a former agent.
In other words don't leave him alone with your valuables, and if I was Geoff I wouldn't turn my back.

And where exactly do lawyers rank on this list
Nowhere. They don't qualify as earth life.

Well I thought that so obvious I just chopped off the top of the list to keep the focus on the agents' neighborhood.

As an aside a good number of sports agents are in fact lawyers. But they are like personal injury lawyers -- fallen angles that the somewhat respectable portion of the profession has kicked out and disowned.

Brick, hopefully I don't get zinged for getting too off topic here, but what type of law do you do?

I think we should all keep our distance for a little while just to be on the safe side.

Oh, this and that.
Started off as a litigator (mostly white collar), hopped over to the corporate/contract side of things, picked up some bankruptcy along the way (useful in the current climate), dabble in comparative and constitutional law and am now what you might call a procedural specialist. I know 1000 ways to win a case or get one dismissed that has nothing at all to do with the actual merits. Client is from California, blew up somebody's house in Louisiana, but wants the case heard in Ecuador under Nigerian law? I'm the guy they call.

So, does have to do more with the mental incapability of the "honorable" judge, the mental instability of the client, or the mental capability (and instability) of the attorney?
From my experience with divorce attorneys, all three apply...and the second one more so.

Mostly it has to do with a whole crapload of research into a 1945 County Court case that once got cited to by a 1967 law journal article whose author then went on to help rewrite the local civil procedure code in 1983 which was then cited to by a state court in 1990, approved of by the State Supreme Court in 1994, and relied upon by a Federal District Court Judge in 1999.

Nice. I'll remember that if I ever manage to get myself into trouble. Hmmm, anyway you could get us out of the Beno contract?

So, how much an hour?
Divorce atty's charge $495/hour...at least for the main ones.
