Somewhere between justice and reality,
between cross-examinations and confessions,
I found stories too human to ignore.

The courtroom has a way of stripping people bare. You see the bitterness of clients, the gullibility of others, the quiet strength of those who refuse to give up and the fragility of those who do.

These past years, I have carried stories I never told of clients who broke me, judges who shocked me, and cases that reshaped how I see justice. The Law doesn’t just teach you statutes, contract drafting and precedents; it teaches you humanity – raw, unfiltered and sometimes unsettling.

Tales from Litigation is my space to tell those stories. Not legal analysis, not academic reflections but truth from my perspective. The truths we hide behind our robes. The moments we question if we still believe in justice. The nights we defend the guilty and convince ourselves it is our duty.

Because sometimes, the Law doesn’t need another lecture. It needs a story.

Welcome to Tales from Litigation –
a blog series about the people behind the cases,
the emotions behind the arguments,
and the humanity behind the law.
