7. Joe Jamail
Also known as the King of Torts, Joe Jamail built his name on his obsession for justice. Close people say that his unique character always emerged in the courtroom, highlighting two strong features of him: passion and aggression.
The case that made him famous was Pennzoil against Texaco, after which he collected a $335 million contingency fee. In addition, he would always give useful pieces of advice to every single person who was interested in pursuing a law career.
The best ones are “Always trust your judgment, because even clients can be wrong,” and “Don’t be arrogant! Instead, pretend like you are actually facing the best and the strongest opponent.”
