As I’ve told my outside counsel on multiple occasions when I get overly zealous recommendations, I’ve yet to find a case in nearly 30 years of doing this where scorched earth would have helped me win when I wasn’t going to win anyway, but I’ve certainly seen it make bad situations much worse.

Exactly. I view “scorched earth” behavior as a sign opposing counsel has a weak case. Why waste time and energy when you can win on the merits?

I also saw this behavior when the lawyer was trying to needlessly drive up the client’s bill.

It doesn't help that he always presents outdated ideas and throws UX out the window. I know that I know my stuff and keep up with best practices. I have 4+ years experience but am treated as entry level.
