Re: lawyer
With all due respect, I think your charachterization of "most lawyers" is not correct. Client's frequently do not understand that the courts have procedures and there is a proper way to move forward and an improper way. Moreover, frequently client's do not want to incurr the real cost of aggressive litigation and as such confuse the issues.
Having said all that there are attorneys who are not sufficiently frank or aggressive with or on behalf of their clients.
It would be in your interest to find a professional who you can work with and who will represent you properly.
However, if your disputes are too small in nature to make legal representation economical, I sympathise with you but there is little an attorney can do about that.
Good Luck.

You may be better served in developing a stable, mutually beneficial relationship with a legal professional.
This may allow you to concentrate on your business's needs, and not being a "Citizen Lawyer".
Re: lawyer
In some states, an attorney is allowed to "unbundle" legal representation. That is, they could appear for you in court to argue motions, etcetera. Massachusetts is not yet there.
For an attorney, the concerns can be analogized to a doctor who is unwilling to have a patient perform part of the operation himself or herself, because of the fear that the patient will blaim the doctor if the operation does not turn out okay. Likewise, to be fully prepared for litigation, the attorney will frequently have to do work which could turn out to be unnecessary, depending upon how a case progresses. The problem is not knowing at the outset how the case will progress, and the general expectation of the client that the matter will turn out in their favor. (If the client knows that they have little likelihood of success, they will settle and not hire an attorney.) The attorney tries to maximize the likelihood that the client will succeed.
Good luck!
