Every lawyer, like every man, are all different. However, of all the lawyers I’ve known there are a few similarities.
| PROS | CONS |
| Big Salary | He spends all his money on cars |
| Works a lot of hours | Works a lot of hours |
| Educated and ambitious | He can be a know-it-all |
| A great negotiator | He can talk you into picking up his dry cleaning |
| Wears nice suits | Your friends say he’s like a car salesman |
| Free legal advice | If you break up with him, he might sue you |

Our daughter met our son-in-law at our dating site and now he’s our attorney – it ain’t all bad.
That is a definite pro.
I’m currently dating an attorney. I really like him but he is driving me crazy! He never has time for anyone or thing unless it involves himself.
I expressed this to him several times.
The other day, I told him that he acts as if he is the only man in the desert with a bottle of water.
He thinks I need to be more patience with him, but I have a difficult time with this concept because when I think that he has free time to spare he just wants to work.
Please advise me on how to maintain my relationship so that I will not have to invest in a therapy!
I don’t care what you say … an investment in therapy is never wasted money – whether you are dating an attorney or not! I think there is some give and take; you need to be more understanding and he needs give you the time you deserve. Sounds cheesy, but a weekly date night that happens no ifs, ands or buts might be good for you both.
I just met this Mediator/Attorney in the court house about a week ago. He is 42yrs old and i am 28 yrs old.. He is so Handsome and i cant stop thinking about him. Ive only gone out with him once for about 2 hrs and the whole time he couldn’t keep hes hands off me. I really need him to help me out with my custody case and at the same time i want us to remain friends but it just seems like all he want is to get me in bed. Every time we talk over the phone he always ask if i could get out for a little bit so that we can go be bad. Im going through a lot right now and sleeping with someone is the last thing that’s on my mind even tho i wouldn’t mind. He already offer to help me out with my case no matter what. He said that i don’t have to feel like i need to do anything with him just because he is helping me out. So that’s a good thing! My only concern is that i dont here from him every day (not that he has to call me every day) I guess what i am trying to figure out How should i go about this relationship? I really like him but i feel like all he wants is to get me in bed, Theirs a age gap of 13 yrs, and i don’t want to stop talking to him because i really need him to help me out with my case. And i don’t have the money to pay for an Attorney. WHAT SHOULD I DO???
Maribel- I am dating a lawyer who is 13 years older than me too, but our age gap is also met with a maturity gap because I am 20 and he is 33 (so comapratively I have a lot less life experience than he has). Don’t worry about the age at all, but be careful because it sounds like you could unintentionally fall into using him or vice-versa. Also keep in mind that lawyers cannot date their clients… so unless you two just remain friends there is really no way for him to help ya out. Anyway, I wish the best of luck!
“Also keep in mind that lawyers cannot date their clients… so unless you two just remain friends there is really no way for him to help ya out.”
Actually, assuming the jurisdiction Maribel is in adopted the current ABA rules, a lawyer is not precluded from “hav[ing] sexual relations” with a client if “a consensual sexual relationship existed between them when the client-lawyer relationship commenced.” Rule 1.8(j)(2010). So, Maribel, if you want to date the lawyer and get free legal advice, sleep with him first, and then become a client.
