The tax and real estate attorneys I've had have always been mostly pleasant. They have a limited responsibility and seem to enjoy doing it (closing on properties, fixing tax issues, etc.).
My only negative experience with the legal side is actually with law professors. I took a couple of law classes as filler in undergrad work, and these guys were the worst. Not only just bad professors, but also very arrogant. After following a few of them on Twitter after the fact, I don't think it was just my very small sample set either. They seem to be terrible, miserable people.
I did have a couple of professors I loved, but I overall agree with this, which is sad. Law professors tend to be really out of touch with the practical side of the profession. That plus the socratic method makes legal education more about fear-mongering and stuffing knowledge in your head than learning how to be a good lawyer to clients.
