About Bernie
Biography
I have dedicated my career to helping the legal needs of the disadvantaged. I am academically and professionally involved in the Bar. I focus on New Deal legislation and subscribe to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's declaration that "Necessitous men are not free men." Many American employees are unable to provide for their families due to corporations terminating them without just cause. Similarly, many workers who are deprived of living wages are unable to be free. So, I represent hard working people that have fell victim to corporate greed.

Rude
He refused to listen to the details of the case and outright dismissed it on the basis of the defendant. A lawyer should listen to the merits of the case, rather than say that a case is impossible just because of who the defendant is.
