<VV> Nader bio/documentary: Coming to a theatre near you? NO CORVAIR...

Unfortunately, quite true.  But the same also  pertains to medical doctors 
and professional engineers.  I was trained as a  chemical engineer but you 
certainly wouldn't want me to design an airplane wing  for you, would you? Just as 
you wouldn't want a brain surgeon to do a knee  operation on your leg would 
you?
    So make sure the expert lawyer/doctor/engineer is  well experienced in 
your particular field of concern before you hire  him/her.

In the  US, a lawyer is legally allowed to practice any kind of law :
criminal,  civil, real estate, tax law, etc, without regard for his
experience. He or  she will be held to the same standard as an expert in that
field, and the  only one who pays the real price (i.e.: loses a case he or
she should have  won) is the client.
