I think that it is important for people to understand that whether a good-guy or a bad-guy wins a case is less important than what the law is that the case results in.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Americans have grown a great deal more realistic about lawyers and the law. I think that's all for the good. A lot of people will say to you these days, 'If you are looking for justice, don't go to a courtroom.' That's just a more realistic perspective on what happens in the legal process.
Good laws make it easier to do right and harder to do wrong.
I'm a law-and-order guy. I mean, I confess I'm a social conservative, but it does not affect my views on cases.
What makes for a good argument, at bottom, is being more prepared than anyone else in that courtroom, and being willing to fight to tell your client's story - the story of why the right view of the law and my client's interests are one and the same.
A judge who likes every outcome he reaches is very likely a bad judge... stretching for results he prefers rather than those the law demands.
If there were no bad people, there would be no good lawyers.
Lawyers are very important people to me.
I win virtually every case I should win, and I win a number of cases that people think I shouldn't.
Well, I - all cases to me have interest. Every case is important to somebody, the people litigating that case. But the most difficult case for me is the case where one person says a, the other person says b, and you just don't know for certain who is not telling you the truth.
I think more important than law is the hearts of people.
