Discovery with Sergei Lemberg

I can’t go a day without … checking the Red Sox score.

If you were in my office, you’d … sit in restored Knoll furniture.

My colleagues would be surprised to know that … I have no party affiliation.

The quality I most like in a lawyer is … the ability to instill confidence in clients, judges and juries.

My pre-trial routine is … a two-week lockup with the file.

When I started, I wish I knew … that I still wouldn’t know everything 15 years in.

If I weren’t a lawyer, I’d … own a store called International Pickles and make pickles all day long.
Or open a pen shop. I love pens.

When I win a case, I celebrate by … drinking beer. Doesn’t everyone?

I almost quit the law because … I hated being a law firm associate.

The SCOTUS justice I’d like to meet is … Elena Kagan.

The SCOTUS decision I’d overturn is … AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion—what total BS.

A different practice area that intrigues me is … appellate law.

I can’t believe more people haven’t read … The Elements of Style by Strunk & White.

My real-life hero is … Obama. Not so much for his politics, but for his demeanor and the way
he carries himself.

On weekends I …  play with my kids.

My most bizarre talent is … I make killer pizza.

The talent I wish I had is … computer programming.

I get angry when … I see people being sloppy.

My motto is … There are two types of people: people who bitch, moan and complain; and people who roll up their sleeves and get shit done. I’m the second kind.

The craziest thing I witnessed in a courtroom is … a client who couldn’t give a straight answer on what his address is.

The three people I’d invite to dinner are … Einstein, Steve Jobs and Dustin Pedroia.

The book I just don’t get is … The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov.

If I had a morning show, my co-host would be … David Ortiz.

The last TV show I binge-watched was … Seinfeld.

If I won the lottery I’d … be retired!
