Sometimes, you work, and work, and work; you stress, stress, stress; and you know that you’re up against a terrible set of odds. In my case, it was opposing a summary judgment motion with precious little law, and precious few facts, on my side. The bulk of what I had to offer in my client’s defense was hearsay; the bulk of the law had big problems with it. My adversary was smart enough to point all of this out to the court.
Sometimes, when you’re up against a tough fight like that, the world just crashes down around you. You get overwhelmed. You console yourself that there was nothing you could do; no matter how good a job you did, you were still going to lose no matter what. “Sometimes you get the wolf; sometimes the wolf gets you,” you say to yourself. But I’m not saying that to myself today.
Because I won.
