Take the Bull by the horns

Hmm,let's see.
It means 'take decisive action in a difficult situation'
(decisive?:very important for the final result of a particular situation.
e.g. He take a decisive role in my play.)

It can be hard to understand for you.
OK, we can make a simple monolog.

'...Eric didn't get his right in the bar(means:a law court)
And his lawyer really took the bull by the horns to win a trial.
So Eric could win a lawsuit.'

I think I didn't make a good example situation.
You could comment to me or e-mail me to correct, or find a better monolog.
