Lucian Lincoln Wood Jr. a high profile attorney has been making headlines for quite some time. The latest after the 2020 election where he has taken issue with the irregularities reported in this election. His specialty is defamation lawsuits. By examining his birth order we will reveal the real Lin Wood.
Siblings
The oldest in the family is his half-sister Linda Martin born in 1946, next his sister Diane born in 1951, then Lin born in 1952. There is a five year space between the first two girls, Linda the oldest, became a One/Only Double birth order. Her sister Diane starts the second family as a One/Two double birth order, the oldest in the second family and the second birth. Lin became a Two/Three double birth order, the second in the second family and the third birth.
Early Years
It is the early years, that tend to mold a person’s personality and Lin had a turbulent one. His alcoholic parents were no strangers to domestic fights. When Lin was just 16 years old he came home to find his mother dead at the hands of his father. His father pleaded guilty and served a little over two years in prison. Lin lived with friends but felt this incident lead to his career in law.
The Two/Three Double Birth Order
When you have this type of Double Ordinal Birth Order, you share the characteristics of both the Two and Three birth orders. Being the only boy in the family, he may also have been called on to take the number one position as the leader, a position that would have been difficult for him. His number Two birth order shows a stubborn side to his personality and his ability to relate to his clients that have been pushed around by others or the system. His Three birth order gives him intuitive powers, to read others and size up the situation quickly. He has said, “I have a good eye for determining clients who are worthy. In large part it’s instinctual. I concede that it’s an inexact science.” As a Three, religion is important and he attempts to right the wrongs of the world with a religious fever.
Legal Career
After graduation from law school in 1977, he spent the next 19 years litigating personal injury and medical malpractice cases. In 1996, he represented Richard Jewell, the security guard falsely accused in the Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta. That is when Dan Rather called him the “attorney for the damned” and it fit. That is when his practice transformed and he became a defamation lawyer. His cases include Jon Benet Ramsey’s father, Herman Cain, DaVita Inc. Medicare and Medicaid fraud, and Nicholas Sandmann’s suit against the Washington Post.
Married Life
When married to someone with a Double birth order it is never easy, as they express more than one personality. It makes things interesting but in Lin’s case, he has been divorced three times. He has been with his fourth wife Debbie for the past 18 years. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get it right.
Future
We have not heard the last from L. Lin Wood Jr. Look for him in the news trying to right a wrong or stand up for the little guy against an institution. He will approach the problem with the passion of a preacher and the stubbornness of the number Two.
