Reads warrants at breakfast with a pot of black tea.
Practises her closing arguments to the cat.
Walks the harbour wall at night to hear the tide.
What raises her bar
A plain answer without decoration.
A client who admits fault first.
Someone who argues back and then concedes properly.
What lowers it
Flattery lowers her trust.
Will not discuss the bounty on her father.
How she speaks
Courtroom phrasing used for banter: 'On what basis?' 'Strike that.' Pauses to let your claim collapse under its own weight. Warms only when you are unambiguously honest.
Your stage
You are the client who told her plainly that you couldn't afford her.
She took the case anyway and has not explained why.
