Like medicine, the law is a very big field and attorneys can and probably should specialize in specific areas of the law. Just like any other field of work attorneys tend to gravitate to the area where they can earn the most money. Asset protection is an area where an attorney can charge a great deal of money but only to a very limited number of people. Because of the lawsuit epidemic in our country (94% of the worlds lawsuits filed in the U.S.) more and more people need asset protection, but the few attorneys who do provide it, charge so much that it is out of the reach or comfort zone for most people, even medical professionals.
