There are some lawyers who think of themselves as basically instruments of whoever their clients are, and they pride themselves on their professional craft.

I have been surrounded by some of the smartest, brightest, most caring lawyers, by agents who are willing to risk their lives for others, by support staff that are willing to work as hard as they can.

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.

There are doctors who help people who have done bad things; there are lawyers who defend bad people. I don't think it's unique to my profession.

For me, being a lawyer means to help those in need.

Lawyers advocate more so than state their own positions.

Lawyers work hard and, like us, they're human, many of them.

Lawyers are very important people to me.

Lawyers have their duties as citizens, but they also have special duties as lawyers. Their obligations go far deeper than earning a living as specialists in corporation or tax law. They have a continuing responsibility to uphold the fundamental principles of justice from which the law cannot depart.

I'm a lawyer who, on occasion, represents celebrities.
