I Get More Anxiety From a Good Case Than a Bad One
When I have a mid to bad case, I am cool as a cucumber. Any positive result is profit, if I lose I know it was warranted or at the very least debatable.
I have a case right now in a subject matter that I am an expert in. I know my client has a very good case and should win every issue. Summary judgment is coming up and it's stressing me out.
The idea that a judge could simply not care enough to listen or understand is probably the biggest stressor for me in law. Have had judges in the past that simply gave no shits and made completely incorrect or on occasion personal opinion rather than law and fact based decisions in this area of law.
I know all I can do is my best, but before I even came into the case the attorney's fees were in the tens of thousands. So it's going to be a real bummer if she loses something she absolutely shouldn't because of stupidity.
