Each lawyer makes somebody unhappy either by beating him, embarrassing him or tying him in knots.

When you see a lawyer trying to pick a smart jury, you know he's got a strong case.

I enjoy personal injury cases. I've tried quite a few of those. And, frankly, any kind of litigation that is trouble-shooting, whether it's equities, suits and injunctions, or whatever.

The public regards lawyers with great distrust. They think lawyers are smarter than the average guy but use their intelligence deviously. Well, they're wrong. Usually they are not smarter.

A person in the business of defending criminal cases is going to live in controversy all of his or her life.

Among the rednecks of America, which there are many more than people seem to realize, it was terribly damaging. I got blamed for O.J.'s acquittal.
