No, but Northeasterners* assume that anyone with a southern accent is a racist dummy. So, her story fits (at least for those of us who live in the Podunkvilles and red states of the country).
That being said, I haven't noticed NYC lawyers being any more tool-like than non-NYC lawyers. Granted, I do slip and fall cases, so I haven't had to negotiate a leveraged buy-out hostile takeover corporate raid poison pill rezoning thing, or whatever it is that you transactional lawyers do, but I've dealt with lawyers from places like Rogers & Wells. They didn't seem a whole lot different from the guys and gals in the Podunkville Bar Association.
Well, maybe they were better-dressed (some of them) and had degrees from places like Smith for undergrad and Columbia for LS, instead of Podunk State. And they kayaked less. But they were no more or less tool-like.

Sweeping generalization, but unfortunately true of many in the NE.
