I know quite a lot of lawyers. They have a few things in common- most have egos as big as Texas, type A personality, and truly passionate about the law. Allred has never really struck me any different. I guess for the most part, when it comes to lawyers, I'm fairly neutral. They're always the brunt of jokes and the first to get thrown off the island, but when you really need one, you better hire the one that has a reputation for being a shark when there's blood in the water.
