This is why people hate lawyers. Illegal? no. Unethical? debatable. Something to be ashamed of?
Yes.
I guess it all depends on what your definition of “is” is. Sorry, didn’t mean to pull a lewinski, but where is the mention of right and wrong, business ethics and illegality aside, many of us still believe in that right and wrong crap, some of us choose to live by it, perhaps to our detriment, but it keeps us warm on cold nights.
It all boils down to people you want to drink with and people you dont want to drink with. People who’s funeral you will miss a playoff game to attend and people you wouldn’t miss a midseason clippers game to send off. The choice is yours, pick who you want to be, the law and your ethics class may give you a pass but i wont save you a seat at the bar. I’ll give you a pass if you cant uphold your obligation, but if you choose not to because it will benefit you, then you aren’t worth my time. Who doesn’t know a guy who pays his child support to be in compliance with the law but fails to parent his child.
Illegal? no. Unethical? debatable. Something to be ashamed of? Yes.
