COULD MY NARCISSISTIC EX HIRE A NARCISSISTIC LAWYER? W hat to D o and W hat to E xpect As you’re probably aware, The Bledsoe Firm specializes in divorce and family law cases that involve parties suffering from narcissism and other personality disorders. We can guide you through a host of complicated situations that can arise because of those disorders — including if your narcissistic ex- partner finds a narcissistic lawyer to represent them. Now, we should preface the rest of this article by saying we’re not sure how likely this scenario is. According to research, approximately 7.7% of men and 4.4% of women are narcissists, but no research has been done about whether those numbers would be higher among people who are attorneys. Nevertheless, the legal profession (or at least the stereotypes surrounding it) has a lot that would attract a narcissist: fancy cars, gobs of money, command of the courtroom, and enviable success. At the same time, narcissists will likely be attracted to the lawyers that are all flash and willing to “go for the kill” against the opposing counsel. So, if a narcissistic ex-partner is looking for a lawyer, they very well might find one who has narcissistic tendencies — and that could pose quite a few problems for you. As I briefly mentioned, narcissists go all in on inflicting maximum damage against the person their client wants revenge against. They’ll run up the bills on both sides, seek to punish rather than compromise, and paint a picture of you as an ex who’s completely awful and refuse to settle. They do everything they can to make the case a nightmare for whomever is at the business end of their litigation. While you can’t do much to prevent an abusive, narcissistic ex-partner from choosing narcissistic representation in court, you can choose representation for yourself that knows how to fight back. To ensure you can fight back against both a narcissistic ex and a narcissistic lawyer, call The Bledsoe Firm today at 949.363.5551.
