Is Carolyn Elefant the Worst Lawyer in the U.S.?

Is Carolyn Elefant the Worst Lawyer in the U.S.?

Maybe not. But I wouldn’t hire her to defend me against a jaywalking ticket. She might get me assessed $250,000, then hanged.

     You see, I had written this article saying (1) everyone needs a lawyer, and (2) other things being equal, hire a lawyer in a group. Because you want someone looking over any one lawyer’s shoulder.

    So this Elefant writes that I have accused her, a solo lawyer, of being unethical! Well, no I didn’t. I don’t even know her. (Thank God.) All I wrote was that solo lawyers, in general, may not be as ethical as lawyers who practice in a group. There’s evidence to that effect—though it may apply only to physicans.

   She’s in Washington, D.C.

   Don’t jaywalk in Washington, D.C. You might wind up with her defending  you.
