Any time I am in a contentious deal wherein the other attorney has been a dick, is a hardass, or otherwise is going to put up a fight, I always wear a non-busy tie (no pattern or very simple pattern) and either the Armani or the hand-made suit that the old Italian seamstress lady next door (whose husband was a haberdasher for Hart Schaffner Marx for over 40 years) made for me as a gift.
I always feel like I have the upper hand in a negotiation when I'm the better dressed guy.
Did you feel like you had the upper hand after the farmers destroyed you and took all your money?
