He handles surprise and then exploits it

Article Abstract:

William H Murphy Jr boasts a 92% win record in his trial practice representing defendants in criminal cases in state court and is recognized as one of the best attorneys in the state of Maryland. Murphy has a significant number of million-dollar verdicts and settlements to his credit, including a $6.8 mil judgment in a civil fraud case and an $11 mil settlement in a false-imprisonment case in Nov 1997. Murphy's most recent high-profile case was a representation of Don King Productions, accused, together with boxing promoter Don King, of violating federal wire fraud laws.

She uses her cases to improve society

Article Abstract:

Dianne Jay Weaver, long considered one of the most prominent US female trial lawyers, represents plaintiffs in products liability, general personal injury and fraud, and medical malpractice litigation, but her specialty is litigation with a public-interest component. In 1988, Weaver was profiled in the National Law Journal's "Winning" section for winning a $5.1 mil punitive-damage-award, the largest US consumer fraud verdict to that date, against a Florida-based auto-dealership. Another 1980s achievement was persuading the Florida Supreme Court to accept the concept of market share in the diethylstilbestrol litigation.
