I am going for business. I met the former president of Hallmark and we discussed about business. He told me he dislikes lawyer and would never allow a lawyer to lease any of his properties. Dealing with lawyers recently I must agree with him because they are very problematic, greedy and just not my type of people.

It's not discrimination, per se.
But shutting yourself off to an entire group of people can make you miss out on a lot of good stuff (trust me, I know.) It also kind of depends on the type of lawyer. I used to work for a lawyer that dealt solely in Social Security disability cases. She was trying to get disability benefits for people who were too physically disabled to work - money they needed to pay their electric bills and feed their children. Did she do it for free? No. But she worked her butt of for her clients because they couldn't do it alone.
Corporate litigators, on the other hand...
And by the way, if you're going into business, you're going to meet a LOT of lawyers. Better get used to them.

This is a personal preference, similar to one for blondes or men even. Discrimination isn't applicable to love life, insofar as you are not a company and occupation (other than veteran status) is not a protected class.

lawyers are somewhat like police men
when you break the law may they be gone
when you are in danger may they be readily & quickly available
neither probably care about dating you too
so stay on your side of the street
