What if Lawyer has an accent?

Question

Hello.My friend dreams to become a lawyer(just like me)but the problem is he has a strong immigrant accent which is possibly will never fully go away.And he is kinda embarrassed to speak in public especially when there are a lot of people.So I would like to know for him if he can become a good lawyer in the future even if he is going to have an accent.To tell you the truth i personally never heard about lawyers with accents but i still would like to hear your opinion on this.

Answer 1

Just because he has an accent doesn't mean he won't be a good a lawyer.  Have him take some classes on public speaking if it's an issue.

Answer 2

So he has an accent.? So what!

Answer 3

Many lawyers have accents of all types, so that is not an issue at all.

Besides, very few lawyers out of all lawyers practice in court anyway. There are many many other activities that most do.
