A common misconception that tends to be prevalent among people that don’t have a very good understanding of the nature of how the law works is that lawyers should never become emotionally involved with their clients. People think that lawyers should always distance themselves. Otherwise, they would never be able to end up doing a good job once all has been said and is now out of the way. This is often assumed because doctors do have to distance themselves emotionally; otherwise, they would not get the chance to actively treat the sick person at this current point in time.
