Post: Tough litigators

Posted by Debbie on 2/15/01
We are conducting a survey for the May issue of California
Lawyer magazine, looking for litigators who are known among
their peers (but excluding the usual suspects) for their
tough, aggressive or intimidating approach to the practice -
- in fact, they cultivate such an image.
Limited to California lawyers in civil practice. These are
the ones who, as one source described it, are tough as
nails, conduct a killer deposition, ride their associates
hard, or have a hardball strategy before or during a
trial.
We don't want to celebrate the real odious characters or
the same five litigators who always get written about. We
are thinking more along the lines of very challening
opposing counsel who are also colorful characters in terms
of what they introduce into their practice. People who,
when you hear you are going up against them, make you
shudder, but with grudging respect. Maybe some anecdotal
stories.
Please send suggestions to me via e-mail. Thanks!
