Like most folks, I know a lawyer or two. I don't think by virtue of being a lawyer, one finds themselves in constant legal conflict with the world. Within your daily profession, yes, life in general, highly doubtful. Being a lawyer doesn't mean you automatically engage in legal conflict with former employees and current partners. That my friend, tends to be self-inflicted. I think we'll all buy into your "pit bull litigator" description when Alliacense returns to 2006/2007 licensing fee amounts. Until then, your pitbull has been relegated to "Yorkshire Terrier" status.
