I regularly go to court to fight lawsuits against people who legitimately do owe some money to the people suing them. Is that morally acceptable? Is it ethical for me as an attorney? Yes, because being in financial trouble is not a crime. The people I represent have already tried to pay their bills, but their creditors have chosen to sue them instead of make affordable settlement arrangements. By fighting these suits, I send a message that you should consider working with your delinquent customers before taking them to court. Because if you go to court against a well-defended debtor, you may end up with nothing at all.
Moreover, the banks I fight are all based in big cities far away from my community. I consider it a duty to do what I can to keep as much of the hard-earned money of the people of South Alabama as possible right here. Our local businesses need customers whose wages aren’t being shipped out to Delaware or New York. Everyone wins if the justice system isn’t twisted into some giant collection machine.
