HOW THE TITLE OF MY BOOK CAME ABOUT:
During a hard-fought cocaine trial, the DA and I clashed more than usual. At one point I made 13 straight objections—every one sustained. The prosecutor broke down and complained to the judge, who said, “I can’t help it, he’s making good objections.”
Later, as I approached chambers, I overheard the judge say about me, “He’s a badass.” When I walked in, he smiled and said, “You did some good lawyering today.”
