Maximum Lawyer

As a lawyer, the pressure to succeed and maintain a certain level of professionalism can be overwhelming. The recent suicide of a fellow attorney who was publicly called out in a Facebook group for being disbarred is a stark reminder of the need for mental health awareness and self-care in the legal profession.

In addition to the stress of practicing law, running a law firm, and paying off student debt, it's important to recognize the need to charge a fair price for legal services to avoid undervaluing one's services. 

But what about the adversarial nature of the profession? Why do attorneys feel the need to be so aggressive towards each other? It's important to resist the urge to pass on negative information about other attorneys and instead reach out with kindness and support.

At the end of the day, mental health and fairness should be at the forefront of every legal practice. Let's strive for growth and success while also taking care of ourselves and each other.
