The longer you practice as a lawyer, the fewer friends you will have in number, but the higher their quality will be. Why does this happen? Because the most important thing in the legal profession is a strong sense of boundaries.
If your friends keep treating you like a free legal service machine and constantly ask you legal questions, you will naturally keep your distance from them. And those kinds of friends will gradually become fewer.
That is why, after practicing law for a long time, many of a lawyer’s friends are still lawyers or people in the legal field. Others are highly educated and respectful professionals, such as doctors and university teachers.
These people either work in the same profession and will not ask you for free legal advice, or they have high personal standards and know that casually asking you legal questions is disrespectful to your profession.
