Obviously, there is the satisfaction they get from working toward community goals, which is priceless. But I understand the reality you are describing.
It seems to me you are saying that there are some difficulties relating to criminal cases. Are you saying that a resident of Ontario can obtain representation in a criminal case only if there is a possibility of incarceration? You mentioned $90,000 per person related to criminal cases. Can you clarify that for me? What are the eligibility criteria for criminal cases and what are the specific problems with this type of representation?
You are right. I have known lawyers who make $200 or $250 an hour. I do not want to name them, but I can see them from here.
