An Editorial Opinion

I wish I had the power to arrange a litigation contest between Attorneys H. Lewis Gillis in Montgomery, Alabama and Clyde E. Jones in Birmingham, Alabama. I have fought both men in courtroom trials. Both litigators are dragonslayers in the courtroom.

I fought each man one time. Lewis stuck his dagger in my chest during the closing arguments. I died on the spot.

Clyde almost beat me after kicking my ass throughout the entire trial. I only won because I had slightly more experience than Clyde and my client had more money for trial preparation than his client.

After my experience with these dragonslayers, I never wanted to fight them again. I did not want them "f*cking up" my litigation record of 217 wins versus 8 losses.

If I were an event promoter like a boxing promoter, I could make a fortune arranging trials in real cases that featured these two gladiators. Both men enjoy perfecting and showcasing the art of the kill in the courtroom. They would draw huge crowds from all over the nation to watch them perform in the courtroom.

Take my word for it: These two guys are "MOTHERF*CKERS" in the gladiator pit. There are no other litigators in Alabama who are in their league.
