"Hell No!"

I love dealing with tenants attorneys. They do not care a whit about what landlord's attorneys think of them. Even if they are negotiating with the landlord's attorneys, they are still snarling at them.

Or at least it seems that way when I am around them.

So today when I was talking over a case with a tenant's attorney who did not know me, about five minutes into the discussion he asked me, "Do you do any landlord side work?"

Without missing a beat, and answering truthfully, I responded, "Hell no!"

"That's the right answer," he chuckled as he proceeded to help me plot some mischief for the landlord's case against my client.
