As attorneys, we would like to believe that we are members of a civilized and high-brow profession. And why shouldn’t we? Our clients bicker, fight and can’t stand each other. Then, they hire us to civilly negotiate their claims in their stead, and authorize us to take the case to trial only if those negotiations fail. At trial, we greet each other as “esteemed counsel” and address the court as “your honor.” Throughout the process, there is no gamesmanship—just civil and respectful disagreement.
Well, if I just described your practice, and the way your adversaries practice against you, I tip my hat to you and say “keep doing what you’re doing.”
