I'm an old trial lawyer.

There's a lot of money with a lot of big law firms that have a tremendous amount at stake by getting the right language to convince the right jury that my client is either innocent or that the opposition is guilty.

Being a trial lawyer sounds like glamorous work, but most of your time is spent pushing paper and arguing.

By not trying the small cases, the lawyers don't get the courtroom experience. So when the huge, bet-the-company cases come along, there are only a handful of trial lawyers who can handle it. That's why these big corporations still call us old-timers every day.

It takes a lot of money to hire an attorney.

The only way you can beat the lawyers is to die with nothing.

I desire to put off my trial as long as I can till I can get my evidence ready.

Reduce the number of lawyers. They are like beavers - they get in the middle of the stream and dam it up.

Any good trial lawyer knows that if you've got one credible expert or scientific study, then you can let the jury decide.

People have said I can come off a little trial-lawyerish. I tell people I never actually became a lawyer, but I play one at City Hall.
