My father is a practicing criminal law attorney in the Seattle area.

I have a record as attorney general that is separate from my personal beliefs.

U.S. attorneys have taught me a lot over the years, and in the Southern district of Florida, they have been to me partners.

I noticed that this defense attorney is a very, very intelligent man, and he's very cool and he's very knowledgeable, and I think that personally I'd like to have an attorney like him.

It takes a lot of money to hire an attorney.

I would be loath to speak ill of any person who I do not know deserves it, but I am afraid he is an attorney.

I was an attorney general. That was - that matters to me, and if you won't obey your own rules, there's no reason to think you'll obey any others.

Prior to any questioning, the person must be warned that he has a right to remain silent, that any statement he does make may be used as evidence against him and that he has a right to the presence of an attorney, either retained or appointed.

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 was the United States Attorney for Maine for three years, and then was appointed a federal judge.
