A lawyer is never entirely comfortable with a friendly divorce, anymore than a good mortician wants to finish his job and then have the patient sit up on the table.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Divorce is a game played by lawyers.
Lawyers know how to take isolated complaints in a divorce case and build them into one big one.
A divorce is like an amputation: you survive it, but there's less of you.
I'm not sure I can say there is a clean line between me as an individual and me as a lawyer.
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.
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.
Divorce is probably as painful as death.
A lot of people probably don't realize how difficult it is to stick to that lawyer speak when you're not a lawyer. I see everyone on 'The Good Wife' - everyone, people who have been there since day one - struggling with that language because it is just not how people talk.
I'm a recovering lawyer. The practice of law has changed. Every agreement is a fight.
I've always had an affinity for lawyers. My dad is a lawyer. He's retired now. My brother is a lawyer. It's always been easy, the legalese.
