The lawyers who really begin to address the problems of their clients address them without recourse to our courts, although that recourse is absolutely essential in providing leverage.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Lawyers claim that their clients have been grossly mistreated, which is what criminal defense lawyers are paid to do.
Unless you have a perception of who you are as a lawyer, you will never be at ease in dealing with legal matters, clients, or courts. But if you know who you are and why you're there, all you need is the expertise and the information.
Lawyers don't serve everyone... Lawyers right now can say, 'I'm not the person to help you on that issue; I don't agree with what you're trying to do;' and they can turn down that person, and they can go somewhere else.
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.
Clients trust you to represent their interest in the highest court.
We're lawyers. We present the arguments, and the court sorts out the merits.
I will defend anyone as long as the client gives me total control of the case and pays up front.
If the laws could speak for themselves, they would complain of the lawyers.
Lawyers are for only what is right.
The role of the defense is to be an advocate for their client, regardless of whether he did it or not, within the bounds of the law.
