There have been ego/arrogance issues, but the worst I have experience in that regard is Houston-based Susman. They believe that everyone agrees they are mainly correct about everything.

Maybe the rules are "Litigators are tools" and "NY lawyers are tools." Obviously, with such broad statements, there are exceptions to the rules.
This would also explain the general perception of lawyers as tools, since people mostly see litigators like The Texas Hammer (who seems like he'd be a real tool, but that's kinda good if he's on your side).
