The impeachment trial is also opening the legal profession to judgment by the public who neglects to think that the prosecution/defense counsels are just doing their jobs. Respect the hustle.
All those trying to mock Jimmy Bondoc and use the term "abogadong pangnotaryo lang"? You are not successful in disrespecting him. The real targets are the public notaries as if being a notary is being a level less than a real lawyer.
Sa totoo lang, napakaraming unethical na abogado. Nakakadishearten. Sobrang empty lang ba talaga ng code of ethics natin? Wala rin naman kasi nagcacall out. Lahat ninonormalize. Ano ba to???
Hearing na naman bukas. Hearings, no matter how tiring, remind me that I am a already a lawyer...and that used to be a what if. After some years, I am still so thankful for this kind of stress.
@SummumAtrium Send them off. Be grateful you were a part of their success by helping them. Ganyan talaga mga tao. Makakalimot. Uusad na lang. It is ok to feel hurt. Just find your tribe somewhere else instead of dwelling over the people who did not give back. Good luck. You deserve better. 🤗
Had a mini reunion w my lawschool batch and while they are good people and we shared happy memories, seeing them brings back all the trauma I got from being a law student.
The problem is this.
Terrorizing was a priority over teaching.
We carry that even after passing the bar.
It is a sick notion that lawyers should twist things in anyone's favor. That is not a badge of good lawyering but an unethical practice. It is a violation of the oath we took. Our aim is not to win but seek what is just and proper.
As lawyers, our job is to tell what u need to hear, not what u want to hear. If hindi pabor ang opinyon sa inyo, be thankful for the honesty. Our job is to help you know what is lawful and right at hindi lang kampihan kayo. Hindi namin kaya itama ang sa simula pa lang ay mali na.
@attyalecs Hi isn't this only applicable to documents subject to DST? Not ALL documents? If I am wrong, can you share the basis of this pls? I am also a public notary. Thanks.
Ayoko pumasok today. Pagod na rin ako maghanap ng isusuot every morning. Suddenly, I saw a familiar top. It was the top I bought nung magpapapicture ako for my petition to take the bar.
Here I am, complaining.
But I am reminded that I used to dream of having this career.
why do some lawyers antagonize other lawyers when they act for and on behalf of their clients? we are brothers and sisters in the profession and we can discuss without getting personal besides these are causes of our clients not personally ours
