Be suspicious of the litigious.

There is no such thing as justice, only good and bad lawyers.

Well, I want to say something. This matter is in litigation. All of you know lawyers. They are adamant that you don't say anything.

Well, I want to say something. This matter is in litigation. The lawyers have advised we not say anything.

We lawyers do not write plain English. We use eight words to say what could be said in two. We use arcane phrases to express commonplace ideas. Seeking to be precise, we become redundant. Seeking to be cautious, we become verbose. Our sentences twist on, phrase within clause within clause, glazing the eyes and numbing the minds of our readers. The result is a writing style that has, according to one critic, four outstanding characteristics. It is (1) wordy, (2) unclear, (3) pompous, and (4) dull.

Those who hate lawyers, have either hired the wrong one and lost, represented themselves and lost, or had such a bad case that no lawyer could win it.
