Sometimes a person who's gotten part of his education in the school of hard knocks

Sometimes a person who's gotten part of his education in the school of hard knocks is in a better position to work with clients who need some guidance (as well as advocacy) in getting their acts together, than at attorney who's had a comfortable life and has never seen life from the client's perspective. He also understands what it's like on the other side of the desk.
