Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]t does not follow, and this court does not hold, that the courts will not interfere to prevent oppression and collusion, where the facts are brought before the court in the proper manner. The courts have held void many of the provisions for attorney's fees in notes and contracts, where they are uncertain, excessive, or oppressive. Even where a fixed sum has been agreed upon by the parties, the courts have interfered to afford relief, where the amount was clearly exorbitant or oppressive, and the facts were shown to the court. In this case, services of the attorney were rendered. It is not shown that the amount contracted for was excessive... . [W]e must presume that the amount fixed was the reasonable value of the services rendered, until the contrary appears. 5 N.M. at 434 , 23 P. at 243.”
