It is hard, and they'll make it harder in order to discourage you, but you can do it all yourself. |

In criminal law, the sentencing guidelines were designed to have the punishment fit the crime. In civil law, the punishment is without limitation and generally proportional to how greedy the lawyer is. Even trivial offenses can result in penalties that, to use a phrase lawyers are fond of, shock the conscience. But apparently, not so shocking as to merit even a token appearance in the legal profession's code of ethics? No wonder the public perception of the legal profession is right up there next to loan sharks. And why shouldn't it be? They'll both shatter your kneecaps over fifty bucks. |
well, lawyers are abjured against filing frivolous lawsuits on behalf of their clients, certainly, as is the general public. It's very likely this man had monetary sanctions imposed on him by the court.

It goes to court in June. The only court involvement so far is him requesting the expansion of scope, which is when the judge jumped on him for being a dick. But, no sanctions were handed down that I could see.

The Post editorial staff weighs in on the case.

That's good news, this asshat should be canned, disbarred and defrocked.
|
i hope he's disbarred. Him and that crazy guy who wanted to tar, feather and hang those Duke la crosse players.
I've dealt with lawyers four times. Didn't matter if they were representing me or prosecuting me, they all sucked. Law is just a foreign language designed to keep normal people confused. It's a lot like medicine. |
Some lawyers are good. I have a friend who works for the SEC--he's helped bring down some corporate bad guys.
|
Most of the lawyers I know are decent people. I've worked with a LOT.
The head lawyer from NM that BushCo. fired for being honest, and his eight friends are prime examples. Don't like lawyers don't use em', very simple. I was a very honest insurance agent, most that I knew were, for some companies. Many company's policies are not, but most people don't want honest insurance agents, then bitch because they don't have enough insurance when the get into an accident. Can't have it both ways. Same with lawyers. They want a bull shark working for them, but want everyone else to have an honest John. Can't have it both ways. Don't want cheaters in the world, don't ever cheat, if you do, don' bitch. Don't want bad lawyers, don't sue when you slip on a spill you should have seen because you need to be looking where you are going, try to get more than your car's worth from your insurance company after an accident or try to take the guy that hit your car for all he's got. When everyone who discusses this does not and will never try any of these things... then we can talk about lawyers. |

But I will take your advice. When I have built a career legally extorting millions of dollars money from people not because its the right thing to do but simply because I get to line my pockets with money I didn't earn and that the good lawyers with whom you are so well acquainted are content to sit back and let me get away with it then I'll remember what you said and say... "yeah, I guess I shouldn't bitch since I'm one of them." But I'm not one of them. |
