Most of us lawyers try very hard to practice within the ethics rules.
That said, I have to admit there are too damn many Cohens out there.
Even “within ethics rules” yields a helluva lotta latitude for bullying, threats, and other assorted skulduggery that, by rights, oughta get a man shot dead on the spot.
So asserting that’s how you try to play the game, isn’t asserting all that much; them “ethics rules” ain’t all that straight, and they sure’s Hell ain’t narrow.
