The Liar

The Liar is an attorney that I faced off with years ago on the witness stand, but it still bugs me to this day.  He is now disbarred for stealing, and although I don't know the complete circumstances, I can speculate in my own head.  He stole from the company I work for because he would not own up to his mistakes for the sake of saving face to his wife.  He blamed me on the stand for his own perilous problems that he created and was determined to disrespect me and my company for his own mistakes.  I regret not being as aggressive as him in calling him a flat out liar, instead only being tactful in calling him dis-honest.  He didn't call me dis-honest, he called me a liar and not of good character.  Liar, bad, not of good character, worse.  He played the lie he told his wife of destroying her antique furniture on me.  All the while complaining to me that his wife will kill him for leaving that furniture exposed to the elements.  I should not have displayed the tact that I thought the courtroom deserved.  I should have called that liar out right then and there.  But I respectfully said yes/no and your wrong with no outburst that should have happened.  For the record he lost the case, but won an arbitrary  settlement for his wife's antiques.  We won, but he stole half back on lying and my courtroom tact.  If I ever step back into another courtroom, I hope I don't, I won't be nice, I learned that from an asshole attorney that cried in later statements about antiques to the judge.  When the roof is off the house, literally with antiques inside. don't trust a frugal lying lawyer that will later be disbarred for stealing.
Its been on my mind for a while, and still makes me irate to this day.
