“Lawyers know how to take isolated complaints in a divorce case and build them into one big one.”

“It takes just one, he says over and over. You hear that all the time in this business. One big case, and you can retire. That's one reason lawyers do so many sleazy things, like full-color ads in the yellow pages, and billboards, and placards on city buses, and telephone solicitation. You hold your nose, ignore the stench of what you're doing, ignore the snubs and snobbery of big-firm lawyers, because it takes only one.”

“A good lawyer knows the law; a clever one takes the judge to lunch.”

“In your lifetime you build two buildings, one of accomplishment, the other of failure, and only you can decide how big each one should be”

“Lawyers were notorious for finding cases in the most unlikely places, especially ones with huge potential damagers awards.”

“Divorce lawyers stoke anger and fear in their clients, knowing that as long as the conflicts remain unresolved the revenue stream will keep flowing.”
