I'm a duty solicitor, so I can't fix someone's life; all I can do is fix the problem I've got in front of my eyes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The option of solicitor advocacy came on the scene a bit too late for me.
And whether you're an honest man, or whether you're a thief, depends on whose solicitor has given me my brief.
If you have problems of conduct that are difficult and hard to settle, I will furnish you with solutions, for I not only know matters of practice and duty, but I even know them beforehand.
Actually, I've gotten myself into some difficult places because I thought I could fix somebody.
I'm a hard headed lawyer.
I will not do work that isn't done well or right. Stuff happens - things break, contractors don't come through - but I don't want to be responsible for not doing something correctly.
It was an interesting experience to work alongside the solicitor general's team and then turn around and argue against them. You certainly grow as a lawyer from getting such a varied set of experiences.
I'm a bitter-ender. It's potentially my fatal flaw that I do not give up on something. I will not rest. I work and work and work until I can no longer and someone has to remove me from the premises.
I take complete and sole responsibility for my present situation.
You can't do anything sensible until you know what the situation is that you're in.
