It is unfair to believe everything we hear about lawyers, some of it might not be true.
I think lawyers have a fidelity to the system itself that's always got to be with them, and indeed, most of the defense lawyers I know observe that.
Lawyers work hard and, like us, they're human, many of them.
The lawyer's truth is not Truth, but consistency or a consistent expediency.
Lawyers are men who hire out their words and anger.
Being a lawyer is not merely a vocation. It is a public trust, and each of us has an obligation to give back to our communities.
People are getting smarter nowadays; they are letting lawyers, instead of their conscience, be their guide.
Lawyers are like beavers: They get in the mainstream and dam it up.
It's fine to get paid and get a big verdict, but to go out and represent people, sometimes in unglamorous ways, is really what lawyering is all about.
Lawyers are for only what is right.
