I use the rules to frustrate the law. But I didn't set up the ground rules.

The memory of the American public is about six weeks.

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.

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

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.

The people I have no feeling for are professional killers. But I count that man no worse than a governor who won't commute a death sentence because it's unpolitical.

If I'm offered a good case in Florida or a good case somewhere else, South Florida will win every time.
