@chabadgal
I am old enough and wise enough to avoid being baited.
This thread was started by Joseph ion what appears to be a troll mode.
When the Shakespeare quote was posted, my decision was reinforced.
As I have posted in the past:
I don’t practice criminal law
The vast majority of my clients are not Jewish
I insist Jewish Divorce clients go through the Get process.
In CT, the family court judges will (not must) include the requirements of obtaining a Get and who pays for it in the civil divorce decree. I achieved this about 20 years ago.
I encourage Jews seeking to sue a Jew to use the services of a Beis Din, but the few Jews I represent are usually not frum and that idea means nothing to them.
The typical Jew I represent is dealing with Probate Court (Surrogate’s Court for you NYers)>wills, adoptions, name changes, not suing other people.
As others have said there is much work a Jewish lawyer can do without violating halacha. We have to pick and choose what we do, as in any other profession.
