EOC week 5: Lawyers Looking for Fame


            In a case of lawyers who look for fame I’m sure that many people would automatically assume that these specific lawyers are people who make sure to put themselves in the limelight. Lawyers who purposefully put their names on billboards, and make commercials, and are on T.V. every chance that they get, these are the lawyers that most people think of.  These are the types of lawyers that tend to give all other lawyers a bad name. But there are lawyers out there who do not truly look for fame but it is given to them in other ways. “We are grateful to be recognized by Missouri Lawyers Weekly for our work on behalf of our clients. It is a testament to our team of dedicated lawyers and staff.” This was a statement made by Ron Brown of Brown and Cruoppen Plaintiff Law Firm after finding out that they won the Winningest Plaintiff Law Firm by Missouri Lawyers Weekly. There are lawyers out there that do truly earn the fame that they are getting, as well as lawyers who do this job just because they love it. Money is not always everything. While I’m sure that this law firm is not not advertising themselves everyone does deserve a little fame and fortune now and again. Most lawyers depending on the type of law that they practice are in an area where advertising is a necessary. We also congratulate our colleague Jim Lemonds for being named one of the state's Winningest Plaintiff Attorneys for 2010. Jim works hard on behalf of his clients.” Its good that this particular law firm is not just looking out for the names of the company but also giving credit to the other lawyers who are working for them. While I believe that lawyers who seek fame are more common then not there are lawyers out there who look to help their clients and end up gaining the fame from the work they do.
