'I had a family law case where my client fought really hard for the dog, and then ended up turning him over to a shelter. What an awful person. The ex-wife received an 'anonymous' tip and was able to get him back quickly.'
Lawyers shared why they have big regrets over winning a case, and it'll actually surprise you.

It was furniture that you could probably get at a Rooms To Go or something."Pattanaphong Khuankaew / Getty Images / iStockphoto"I prosecuted a murder case.

No one was hurt, but he totaled his car.
Not only did I answer no, but I instantly regretted getting the earlier acquittal. My client apparently didn’t learn any lessons...""I work in medical malpractice defense. Once, I had an obstetrician/gynecologist who burned a patient during a procedure. When I met with the doctor, he lied to me throughout the representation over 16 months, saying he had no idea how it happened.
