It just means that you're not an egoist. That can be a good thing. It means you can sneak in under people's radar... ;) I don’t think “unassuming” is a bad thing.

I guess they do make nice versions of you people. :) I actually have to remind myself that you’re an attorney, anyway. I guess they do make nice versions of you people. :)

But I don't really think it is true that you need to be overly aggressive to succeed at it. Being able to get along with most opposing counsel can often serve you and your client better than being overly argumentative. You just have to know when to pick your battles, and I'm sure when that time comes you are anything but a lamb. Trust me, it is a good thing if you don't come across as a stereotypical attorney.....nobody really likes them anyway.

Not at all. As for the image a person projects and for the person/personality they actually are? I personally prefer it when there you think a person is one way, then you realize there's more than meets the eye. Usually unassuming people are like that...and it's a pleasant surprise when you get to know or see more of their personality. Yay for unassuming! It's funny about images we project to others. I sure as hell don't know what image I project. From friends, I've got very differing views on how I was perceived upon first sight/meeting -- from 'You looked totally stuck up' to 'You looked so sweet and shy'. For the record, I'm neither stuck up. Nor shy. But it's funny what people pick up... I don’t think unassuming is necessarily code for boring. Not at all.
