Martin Schwimmer's parting shot on the Fox-Franken suit: " Clients come to us in part because of our judgment. If we are thinking 'In bringing this particular suit in this particular manner, the client exposes itself to risk greater than that of the complained-of act' and we do not communicate that thought effectively to the client, then we are cheating the client."

Marty is one of the good guys, not at all the sort of trademark lawyer I once wrote about in this piece, "Cease and Desist."
