I think that lawyers are terrible at admitting that they're wrong. And not just admitting it; also realizing it. Most lawyers are very successful, and they think that because they're making money and people think well of them, they must be doing everything right.
It is unfair to believe everything we hear about lawyers, some of it might not be true.
I hate second-guessing other lawyers because I know that I've tried and lost cases, and somebody could sit there and say, 'Should have done it this way,' and they'd have been right.
Lawyers are for only what is right.
The trouble with law is lawyers.
With all due respect to lawyers, it's wonderful that you have this intricate knowledge. You break down words to the nth degree. And sometimes I find it rather disgusting. And it goes on and on.
The lawyer's truth is not Truth, but consistency or a consistent expediency.
I think most defense attorneys know, to some extent, their clients are guilty.
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.
I'm a trained lawyer, after all, so I don't have to admit to anything.
