This is a very counterintuitive way of looking at the world. Speaking generally rather than specifically: one generally wants a budget for fraud (or similar negative things) and to spend that budget prudently, not drive to zero. Socially non-desirable to say in as many words.https://twitter.com/ByrneHobart/status/1260264924967768064 …

Approximately: Ah, good question. I would be a very bad lawyer if I won all my cases. The majority of disputes are settled out of court. Resolving with a lawsuit that goes all the way to trial is an option in the toolbox for generating better outcomes for clients.

If I won literally every time, that would mean that I was likely being insufficient aggressive at choosing litigation over settlement on some cases which were a) winnable and b) where counterparty’s final offer was substantially worse to client than what they’d get if they won.

So no Patrick, I don’t win every case. I cannot say “I do not try to win every case I bring” because of professional ethics, but I can tell you that law is strategic and pursuing a strategy of always winning would be pursuing a poor strategy.
