Truth or Consequences: On Roger Clemens and Difficult Clients


Mike Florio is an attorney who writes for ProFootballTalk.com and Sporting News, mostly on issues of football. Yesterday, he had an interesting legal article about the Roger Clemens self-immolation saga. He puts the blame on Clemens' attorney, Rusty Hardin, for the devolving mess that is now Clemens' reputation. He discusses Clemens legal case in depth here, and in short at PFT saying in conclusion:

"And if, in the end, Clemens knew damn well what the risks were and opted to proceed down a path of potential self-destruction, Hardin should have simply told him to get another lawyer."

Though I have to agree with him that the Clemens case has been a text book for celebrities on how not to preserve your reputation using the legal process, I disagree with my legal colleague on how much responsibility he puts for the Clemens mess on Hardin.
