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

I would strongly recommend any young man to stay away from criminal law. It's not a good place to be, unfortunately.

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.

I get paid for seeing that my clients have every break the law allows. I have knowingly defended a number of guilty men. But the guilty never escape unscathed. My fees are sufficient punishment for anyone.

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

The memory of the American public is about six weeks.

In America, an acquittal doesn't mean you're innocent, it means you beat the rap. My clients lose even when they win.
