But it is not so "fing brash, abrasive, and cut throat" that someone would either threaten physical harm or hire someone to do the same? So that is the line in "pretty fing brash, abrasive, and cut throat" environment that wouldn't be crossed?

Yes, that's exactly correct.

I'm glad that the legal profession is made up of completely honorable people full of integrity who would never cross certain lines. Man, they must get a bad rap for nothing then, huh?

They get a deservedly bad rap for being "fing brash, abrasive, and cut throat." Duh. You even alluded to that with your description of me the other day. And I'm a 'nice' one.... Next question?

To be blunt Lad, an attorney who crosses that 'certain line' destroys his or her own value in the profession. That would create an edge that others who are on the opposite side could (and should) exploit to the maximum.

If an attorney on the opposite of me threatened my client with physical harm, there is no way they would leave the table with their skin intact relating to the matter in front of us.
