Solicitors. Do they understand the meaning of Ethics?

If you go to a solicitor for advice, do they ever say, 'Save your money, you've no chance of winning this'?
Of course not, they sit and listen to your tale of woe and nod and smile in all the right places, looking sympathetic and all the time with one eye on the clock so they can justify their bill to you. Then they suggest sending a letter to see what type of response they will get, for which they charge you. In most cases they don't really fancy your chances or their own, because if they did they would propose a speculative agreement on the basis of no win, no fee.
Terrible way to deal with people, very dishonest and very hypocritical but if you dare question their ethics they immediately put on a pained expression and claim that their time is expensive because of all the case loads they have to look after, the same case loads they took on in the same circumstances as yours. In fact I expect that if you looked at an average solicitors case load and worked out just what was worthwhile and what was rubbish and didn't stand a Buckley's chance, about 90% I reckon would be in that bracket of not worth a light but to them its manna from heaven.
So what do you do with them? You make them our very own Prime Minister and let them apply the same ethics to all our lives.
In other words, we pay taxes and let the PM do what he likes with our money. Well, I think its time for a change, lets hope the Police find something on the little fink to put him in the dock and let him feel the pain of paying unjustifiable fees to a fellow fink to defend him.
I think Honours for donations or buy an ermine here, should stitch the blighter up, that should give us all entertainment for our money.
