Did any of these so called celebrity lawyers made it to Court? or simply they are good sales people?

I liked when Fiona had that water dumped on her head. She looked so sexy, sultry and not so uptight. I think I can recall a photo of her with a smile on her face after it happened. That's ruthless, alright.

If you want to read about a "true" celebrity lawyer, one who actually adds value to society, then read this piece on the late Leonard I. Weinglass, Esquire. There's hope for all the unemployed lawyers seeking a Raison d'être.

Do all british lawyers wear that "uniform" type of outfit to court?

These "celebrity" Divorce Lawyers aren't the only ones billing out at $600 + per hour. Keep in mind that price is only an issue in the absence of value. I do not have personal experience with any of these attorneys but imagine they bill out at such a high rate because they deserve to do so based on experience, knowledge and skill. I would pay to spend a day in court with each of them to watch how they operate.

I just clicked on this story because of Paul McCartney's photo.

The story is total rubbish.
