Maybe it was an April Fool's joke
Got a call from someone who is nervous about their lawyer. Long story short is that he was driving a company car when he broke his leg. A dispute has come up as to whether or not he needs surgery. His doctor says yes, the insurance company IME of course says no.
When talking to his lawyer about going to trial, his attorney said that he is nervous because "The defense attorney is really tough and is going to put us through a heck of a fight."
Maybe his lawyer hates trying cases or maybe he's just trying to prep his client for the worst so when they win he'll look like a hero. But wouldn't you rather have a lawyer that doesn't get nervous because he knows what he's doing and more importantly is honest with the client about the case and the process?
