The roles that males play in assisting women lawyers in some firms can be extremely important. Women a woman is talking with a huge client who has the potential to bring the firm a large sum of money, and the female attorney feels that the client is still on the edge, the female will go get some enforcement. Most of the time it is a male to assure the client that they are making the right decision. If in court a female attorney is questing a witness and she does not feel that the jury is picking up on her point or getting it she will have a male attorney re-ask the same question to make them seem more powerful or truthful. This shows that the men play a large role in the assistance of women lawyers. For example my mother was suing an insurance company for a car accident that she was involved in. At first she had a female attorney that was representing her. When the case went in front of the judge the insurance company had a male attorney representing them. My mother’s attorney made her statement and then the insurance attorney made his claim. The big boss for the firm that my mother was being represented by saw that the judge was beginning to side with the male attorney and therefore he stepped in. He stepped in with real force and showed his presence as a piece of evidence that my mother should without a doubt win this case. In return, my mother did win the case and thankfully the male attorney showed p to the court that day because otherwise there could have been a possibility the she would not have won. Once the male attorney made his claim for my mother it was clear what the judge was going to do. He soon after awarded my mother her share of the money that she was entitled to and the case was completed.
