Most people think that 'I don't recall' is a clever answer. But it isn't that clever. You might not recall that you had bacon and eggs for breakfast- but if you killed your mother, you'll remember it.

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

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.

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

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.

I have never seen a major trial which lacked significant perjury, and I have yet to see that perjury punished.
