When choosing a lawyer, Brits would rather have Barack Obama than Tony Blair, research by digital marketing specialist mmadigital has found.
Obama garnered 30% of the votes while Nelson Mandela and Hilary Clinton were also popular choices, attracting 10% of the votes each. When asked who they’d least like as their lawyer, Blair received the most votes with 17%. The 500 respondents associated lawyers with the traits ‘confident and committed’ and ‘helpful and capable’. Sadly, negative traits also applied―one-fifth thought lawyers were likely to be arrogant and obnoxious, while 12% associated lawyers with being ‘dishonest and sneaky’ and ‘picky and finicky’.
