Divorce lawyers stoke anger and fear in their clients, knowing that as long as the conflicts remain unresolved the revenue stream will keep flowing.

Lawyers were notorious for finding cases in the most unlikely places, especially ones with huge potential damagers awards.

I'm not an ambulance chaser. I'm usually there before the ambulance.

A lawyer's relationship to justice and wisdom ... is on a par with a piano tuner's relationship to a concert. He neither composes the music, nor interprets it - he merely keeps the machinery running.

He is no lawyer who cannot take two sides.
