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

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.

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

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

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.

My experience is, people who retire die sooner than they should have.

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