George,

You have misinterpreted what I said. I did not say that I never made mistakes. I have lost some cases....not many. I like to keep losses to a minimum. No attorney has a 100% win rate. However, losses are not always the result of mistakes either. It may be a difference of opinion as to the weight to be given to the evidence. 

Your question above related to my interpretation of the law. There is much more that goes into the practice. There is also the interpretation of the facts of a case. Therein lies the rub. An attorney may feel that his interpretation of the facts are supported by the law and that the evidence he has proves those facts.

There is an interplay of the law, the facts,  the evidence (Evidence does not always equal proof) and the weight to be given to the evidence by the trier of fact (Judge/Jury). There is also the issue of rules of evidence and civil procedure, and the ability to have evidence admitted by the court. If the evidence is inadmissable, the entire case may fall apart. Most often the factors that render evidence inadmissable occur long before the attorney is consulted by the client

What I did say is that I have never found myself having to defend a title claim against my firm. To that extent I think that my interpretation of the law has been correct. I credit this to the stringent possibly draconian standards that I set for my attorney employees.
