▲ There is a well-known saying in the West: "The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small." So it is with the mills of justice.
▲ For a lawyer, skill is a kind of know-how — like air: invisible, yet indispensable. Wherever there is competition, its brutality will show.
▲ The world of the lawyer is a world of freedom, tolerance and breadth; to be full of dreams is its essence.
▲ Choose a lawyer who can effectively accomplish the task you assign — not merely one who can be your friend.
▲ The only achievement a lawyer can truly attain is respect — the reward of seriousness, realism and sound judgment.
▲ Confidence and smooth communication are the core of the lawyer-client relationship.
▲ A contract is a work of art. Drafting one is a creative act — in Austria, cakes are not merely made; they are composed, like music.
▲ Courage does not preclude fair compromise. Know when to bargain hard, and when to yield a little.
▲ When finances allow, retain the best lawyer you can — that is advice to every client.
▲ A lawyer should be witty and caring, bringing joy to others at every moment.
▲ Folk certainties like "a life for a life" and "debts must be repaid" hold little sway over lawyers: anything can be dismantled by limitation periods, standing, jurisdiction, due process, force majeure, change of circumstances, and the like.
