"Bulldog Attorney"

Some clients will say to Mr. Wright “I need a bulldog attorney, are you a bulldog?” The response to that question depends on what is meant by a bulldog attorney. If bulldog attorney means someone who is going to act disrespectfully to opposing counsel and the court or if it means an attorney who is going to take unreasonable positions and not give clients an honest assessment of the case, then Mr. Wright is not a bulldog attorney.

However, if bulldog attorney means an attorney who is going to diligently work to understand the facts and law of your case and then zealously advocate your position, then Mr. Wright is a bulldog attorney.
