Despite our sometimes fervent wishes, lawyers don't control clients. We are not puppeteers.

So what you're saying is that you "fervently" think your boss should shut up because he is giving his legal opponent fuel for their case against his extortion and other charges? And that he's making you write things that you don't understand or particularly agree with?

I promise you, your integrity (or at least your license to practice law) are worth more than Matt's sinking ship. I hope you can move on to do something meaningful with you practice

    No, that's not what I am saying. Nice try with the leading question though.

If lawyers only had perfect clients, they wouldn’t have clients.

(Analogously, If software engineers only worked for perfect companies, companies wouldn’t have software engineers.)
