Yes, everyone knows what a sterling group "corporate lawyers" are.

Lowest of the low, on the prestige scale, among good professional lawyers.

While you may be correct about comparing on species of slimy toad against other slimy toads . . . I believe that if you examine hiring practices a bit closer, you'll find that many more "insurance defense lawyers" come from the ranks of local prosecutors and . . . gasp . . . public defenders offices, as they have the requisite trial experience, case load experience and are usually quite happy to climb the professional evolutionary ladder.

Enough of this, Call the guy on TV - The pinnacle, the apex, the absolute zenith of lawyerly ambition. I really just want to hear what kind of pitch one of those shysters would use, and how huge a number could they dream up.

Corporate lawyers and insurance defense lawyers are two different things, as you probably know but a lifetime fact checker for a local trial judge probably wouldn't.

My primary vocation has been suing insurance companies for bad faith failure to defend/indemnify. The only capacity in which I have ever 'represented' an insurance company, is by virtue of a retainer agreement in return for not suing them for a number of years.
