But I think you're more right than Sebby about the cheap suits. One of the lawyers at this meeting I described is one of the best in his field -- a partner at a top NY firm that is considered by many to have the best practice group in the field. He may just be a fashion disaster, or he may consciously dress for his audience, but I guarantee that I was the only one in the room who cared about his collar and his shoes.
I was realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly bored at this meeting.

Well, if he's a tax guy, who cares what he looks like. People don't buy me for being an academician, and I don't sell myself as such. I don't think many litigators do. People hire us in part because they want a mouthpiece, and if you're a mouthpiece, its best to be a well put together one.
I wouldn't want a tax guy who looked or acted like me. That would scare the shit out of me if I was a client.
