Living Proof

Media sensationalism has hit an all time low. I don't understand how they choose to expose one thing and not another.

That’s all I was trying to say. I absolutely agree that all lawyers have a right to celebrate a job well done, but in this case, wouldn’t have been a bit more tasteful to ...
