Lawyers Appreciate . . . Integrity

Another meme.  Another meme.  From Carolyn Elefant of My Shingle, I've been tagged for the Second Annual Lawyers Appreciate meme.

I can't imagine the fabulous wealth and glory I would possess, if only I didn't possess integrity.  This is a profession business where far too many people put their own interests ahead of the people they are sworn to help.  They deny it.  They excuse it.  They rationalize it away.  But the simple fact from Simple Justice is that the core of a good lawyer is integrity, the willingness to sacrifice our personal benefit or gain at the expense of our clients.

With that thought in mind, I now have the dubious honor of tagging a few other poor souls of my own, and I pick Mark Bennett at Defending People, Gideon at A Public Defender, Norm Pattis a/k/a Mother Mary and Young Shawn Matlock, Republican Savant.  Each, a paragon of integrity in his own right.  What do you guys appreciate?
