|
Date: May 19th, 2015 7:25 PM Author: Milky abusive voyeur no not at all. I am shitting on TT a little, because for all his trolling, he basically admits to being half a shitlaw litigator. He is correct that it is profitable to settle every case as quickly as possible, but not because it is always to the clients benefit (though it may be 90% of the time), but because he is incapable of taking a case to trial.
Part of his freedom and ability to save stems from irresponsibility. By his own admission, he cannot and will not front any trial or witness costs. He doesn't have trial experience.
So he is effective at settling shitlaw cases in volume, but he is unable to represent his client properly if for some reason it is in the client's best interest to go to trial. |

|
Date: May 19th, 2015 7:30 PM Author: Milky abusive voyeur maybe, but I think companies usually settle slam dunk cases.
He probably stands to earn more from a lowball settlement than referring a case to trial and getting a slice of the judgment. |

Date: May 19th, 2015 7:32 PM Author: Fuchsia Bawdyhouse Dingle Berry loll ur such a fukign tool, this is a business, just like u raping ur clients charging them 500 bucks plus an hour, for work that is often paralegal flame shit and moreover devoid of any fucking policing of your actual hours worked versus the flame shit listed on the bill
if i wanted to take a case to trial i would, but its not in my client's interest and the judicial system is not built on every case or even 10% of cases going to trial... ur just a typical NOWAG troll who doesn't even understand the legal system cause ur only legal jobs have been doing slave work for jews and then getting paid every two weeks.. u have no concept of anything other than sucking ass to survive in miserable work environments |

Date: May 19th, 2015 7:34 PM Author: Milky abusive voyeur you seem pretty angry.

Date: May 19th, 2015 7:35 PM Author: Fuchsia Bawdyhouse Dingle Berry newsflash, 90% of biglaw "litigators" almost NEVER take a case to trial and wld shit in their pants if one went to trial, they know thats the number one way litigators lose clients and they dont hav ethe expperience to handle it, they often pass it off to fucking actual trial lawyers, so if u think what im doing is fraud, again u just have no idea aby the legal profession cause u live in ur little fuking bitchmade cocoon (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2884398&forum_id=2#27923770) |

the point though is that my business model is not fking dependent on taking shit cases to trial, and neither is BIGLAW's, so just fuk urself |

|
Date: May 19th, 2015 7:42 PM Author: Violent bat shit crazy toilet seat So? The vast majority of cases should settle and many that go to trial shouldn't. Part of being a litigator is navigating the system and putting your client in a position to get a favorable settlement in lieu of rolling the dice and going to trial. I haven't followed TT at all but your criticism of solo litigators just seems more like you shitting on someone else without really knowing what you are talking about. Something you also shit on other posters for. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2884398&forum_id=2#27923809) |
|
Date: May 19th, 2015 7:45 PM Author: Milky abusive voyeur no no no. I am giving TT a hard time because he settles everything - not just because it is beneficial for the client (which it may be 95% of the time), but also because it fits his business model of spending nothing out of pocket on litigation costs and also because he is not capable of taking a case to trial.
I have no criticism of solo litigators provided they are capable of representing their client in a trial in the unlikely event that this is in the best interests of the client. |
|
Date: May 19th, 2015 7:47 PM Author: Violent bat shit crazy toilet seat Ok I agree with this. You should be ABLE to go to trial on any case you take and the decision should be the clients. For instance today in shitlaw paradise I almost took a traffic ticket to trial. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2884398&forum_id=2#27923840) |
|
Date: May 19th, 2015 7:49 PM Author: Milky abusive voyeur yeah. My criticism of TT is that he brags about controlling costs by cutting out the hard part of being a litigator. When you worry more about your business model than representing a client, you have a problem. Of course that's a risk with contingency work. For hourly clients, we can tell them to fuck off if they dont want to pay for whatever work they ask us to do. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2884398&forum_id=2#27923854) |

|
Date: May 19th, 2015 8:07 PM Author: Violent bat shit crazy toilet seat Why are litigators in private practice required to be more altruistic than you? If you are hired to provide a service and the client runs out of money mid way through the deal do you continue working? Give back their money they've ready spent? Not sue them for fees? How is this not putting the business model before the client's interests? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2884398&forum_id=2#27923996) |

|
Date: May 19th, 2015 8:11 PM Author: Fuchsia Bawdyhouse Dingle Berry he is referring to how if a client stops paying ur firm's bills mid way through u arent just going to keep working for free, ur firm also takes into account the financial status of the client/case and is not willing to just work for free and advance costs for a case that is not going to generate revenue for the firm... its no different from a solo p's (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2884398&forum_id=2#27924038) |
|
Date: May 19th, 2015 8:14 PM Author: Milky abusive voyeur except when you take a case on contingency, you take on some risk that you might lose money on the transaction, in return for a chunk of the upside disproportionate in many cases to what you would have gotten billing hourly for your work.
Out of curiosity do you tell clients signing your engagement letter that you are just seeking the best settlement for them and that you will under almost no circumstance go to trial? |
|
Date: May 19th, 2015 8:19 PM Author: Violent bat shit crazy toilet seat Brother this is like Mitt Romney positing that a hot dog costs $12 or something. You just don't know what you are talking about. Most people are afraid of being in a court and want to settle quickly without going to trial. I've done my share of civil cases and assure people that their matter almost certainly will not go to trial. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2884398&forum_id=2#27924134) |
|
Date: May 19th, 2015 8:20 PM Author: Fuchsia Bawdyhouse Dingle Berry this is just not true, u take on the risk that ur WORK will not be compensated for if there is no recovery, but legally u arent assuming the COSTS, my fee agreement which is based off the standard CA Bar contingent fee agreements provides that a client has to repay me for any COSTS i advance even if i LOSE the case, they fire me, or I get court permission to withdraw
this is the irony of ur argument, by advancing costs for a client i am just riskign that they will get RAPED even more, i spent 20k on an expert, that may be my money but legally it is their money, and it either comes out of the settlement or they repay me....
and my contingent fee agreement says the client has sole discetiion to settle, but that under the ethical rules im REQUIRED to seek permission to withdraw as counsel if they reject a reasonable settlement and continue litigation for the sole purpose of harassing the other side.... that is all im required to tell them, u have no obligation to be a kamikaze pilot, if i ever had to go to trial it wld be because i had a truly great case and the other side wldnt pay up, not because some retard client who has no idea abt legal system or value of their case thinks it wld be cool to go to trial, my job as a lawyer is tell them what their case is worth,
have no obligation take every case or even 10% of cases to trial, that is just BS , u live in some nowag fantasy land

Date: May 20th, 2015 11:34 AM Author: Fuchsia Bawdyhouse Dingle Berry dont really understand what ur saying but im saying if a client rejects a reasonable settlement and demands something extreme that is legally unjustified then they are just continiing case to harass other side, which is unethical per ethics rules (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2884398&forum_id=2#27928134) |
|
Date: May 20th, 2015 11:43 AM Author: Brilliant National "under the ethical rules im REQUIRED to seek permission to withdraw as counsel if they reject a reasonable settlement and continue litigation for the sole purpose of harassing the other side" what kind of drivel nonsense is this? you have little clients harassing the big guy? no fucking way. also, it is almost never the case that the 'sole purpose' of continuing litigation is to harass the other side and it is also almost never the case where you can objectively determine a settlement offer is reasonable, at least not until a trial occurs. reasonable is a fluff word. the exception would be where the offer is equal to the maximum being sought, but that's not likely. |
|
Date: May 20th, 2015 11:53 AM Author: Fuchsia Bawdyhouse Dingle Berry I'm saying where the client doesnt want to do 35k at mediation, still wants 300k plus or something even though their best possible damages legally are not even 20k. In that case they are just continuing the case to harass the other side. I'm talking abt cases where they basically mention that, "I dont want to settle, fuck these fuckers, let them pay for their own attorneys, that makes me happier than any money they can pay me"
If they say shit like that then fuck them. I'm withdrawing. |
|
Date: May 20th, 2015 11:57 AM Author: Brilliant National okay, i'm confused. you represent plaintiffs, right? if you represent plaintiffs, they you have set the 'best possible damages' outcome in your pleading. you can't ethically seek $300k if you believe the 'best possible damages' are $20k. disagree? |
|
Date: May 20th, 2015 11:59 AM Author: Fuchsia Bawdyhouse Dingle Berry ? what are you talking about... i NEVER list how much my demand is in the pleadings.. i just list the damages they are seeking
its only later i make a demand or they ask for a demand or we go to mediation and i make a first offer at mediation
and of course i can ethically seek whatever amount as long as it does not exceeed a damages cap, taht is part of the bargaining process inn order to get to a fair number.. if i made my ACTUAL desired number my first offer then im just fuking my client in the ass cause ill have to settle for a much lower number |
|
Date: May 20th, 2015 12:04 PM Author: Brilliant National damages being sought do not need to be plausible? i know it's easy enough to point to bullshit lawsuits with ridiculous claims of damages being made, but they way you are saying it you might as well always seek damages at the cap in your initial pleadings. is that true? if so, i don't believe that's ethical. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2884398&forum_id=2#27928293) |
|
Date: May 20th, 2015 12:06 PM Author: Fuchsia Bawdyhouse Dingle Berry there is no cap for damages in my practice area other than the general 10:1 cap on punitives but that is not applicable to my TTT cases
you can always allege that emotional distress is XYZ amount so its whatever.. i dont make high initial offers, like 125k is about as high as i want to go, its purely for bargaining position, but even justifying it legally u cld say it was attributable to emotional distress damages |
|
Date: May 19th, 2015 8:11 PM Author: Violent bat shit crazy toilet seat Yeah I get that but presumably you are retained to complete some kind of transaction and take a retainer. When the retainer runs out and the client says I've got no more money do you still finish the deal? If not how is this different than making a business decision not to spend the time and money on a trial that will leave you in the red.

|
Date: May 19th, 2015 8:15 PM Author: Milky abusive voyeur the nature of contingency work is that the lawyer takes a risk for a share of the upside. Hourly slaves like myself get paid no matter what, but we dont get to buy ourselves private jets when out client makes $600 million closing a deal. We get $200K in fees.

|
Date: May 19th, 2015 8:23 PM Author: Fuchsia Bawdyhouse Dingle Berry see above, u are confusing FEES with COSTS.. a contingent fee lawyer has no legal obligaton to pay for a client's costs even if he loses.. the risk inherent in contingent fee work is with respect to compensation for the lawyers TIME, not for any costs advanced (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2884398&forum_id=2#27924169) |
|
Date: May 19th, 2015 8:29 PM Author: Milky abusive voyeur that's true. you are under no obligation to advance any costs.
Do you tell clients beforehand that you will not go to trial? Curious what they expect. |
|
Date: May 19th, 2015 8:34 PM Author: Violent bat shit crazy toilet seat i love how you keep moving the goal posts. your first criticism was that he's unwilling to go to trial which you've decided is what "real litigation" is. Oh wait it's actually OK and completely ethical if he doesn't want to blindly run into trial just because the client says so. Then the criticism was a general "you put the business model ahead of the client's interest." But yeah that's OK to do too.
Now you are accusing him of misleading clients? do you accuse lawyers IRL of unethical behavior? Do you think it's misleading to pad your bill and send a client an invoice containing more hours than you actually worked? |

Date: May 19th, 2015 8:42 PM Author: Milky abusive voyeur because you are right, I am not a litigator, I misspoke about advancing costs versus eating fees.
You said yourself that:
"Ok I agree with this. You should be ABLE to go to trial on any case you take and the decision should be the clients. For instance today in Shias paradise I almost took a traffic ticket to trial."
TT keeps coming on to say he has no obligation to bankrupt himself or to take every case, or even 10% of cases to trial just cause idiot clients demand it. I am curious whether he would be able to take ONE case to trial, or if he has not bothered with that part of preparation and learning (which I would imagine is important to a solo lawyer) because he has decided ahead of time that it is just not going to happen. |
|
Date: May 19th, 2015 8:49 PM Author: Fuchsia Bawdyhouse Dingle Berry its not the clients decision to decide whether it is worthwhile to take a case to trial, that is a legal decision for the lawyer based on whether the settlement offer at mediation are appropriate for the client's damages or whether continuing the cast towrards trial is appropriate in order to maximize settlement
ive had one case that settled 1-2 months before trial but it was SPS so the settlement was more than possible damages again u queer, if i had a 180 case and they wldnt pay i have no prob taking it to trail or arbitration hearing.. i have one right now i wldnt mind doing but most cases are not apprpriate for trial and wld not even survive MSJ possibly

|
Date: May 19th, 2015 9:05 PM Author: Milky abusive voyeur No honestly, if you feel that you are capable of taking the right case to trial, then my criticism doesn't really apply.
I was giving you shit because from your previous posts I thought you literally were incapable of taking a case to trial and thus were only able to take a case to the settlement stage and would refuse to do more. Maybe they nature of most of your clients at this point is such that it is one and the same. I also gave you shit because you are an asshole, but that doesn't bother me too much. |

Date: May 20th, 2015 11:52 AM Author: Brilliant National "its not the clients decision to decide whether it is worthwhile to take a case to trial, that is a legal decision for the lawyer based on whether the settlement offer at mediation are appropriate for the client's damages or whether continuing the cast towrards trial is appropriate in order to maximize settlement" your phrasing is a fucking mess. it is always the client's decision whether or not to take a case to trial unless you clarify in your engagement letter that it is not and it is your call to make. i wouldn't call that a 'legal decision', either, it's just a judgment call. i'd guess that taking away a client's ability to go to trial is a fucking ethical mess that leaves you vulnerable to complaints and disgruntled clients. can you post your engagement letter's language on this point? i'm curious how you get around the potential pitfalls. |
|
Date: May 20th, 2015 11:55 AM Author: Fuchsia Bawdyhouse Dingle Berry No, a client is hiring a lawyer to give them proper advice about the legal value of their case, and legal chances at prevailing at trial. It is not a client's right to refuse to settle becacuse they haev some Judge Judy's view of trial and want to go all the way. I have a ethical duty to warn them of all the pitfuls and risks including that they could be forced to pay for the other sides costs and even attorney fees i.e. have to declare bankruptcy.
|

Date: May 20th, 2015 12:02 PM Author: Brilliant National here goes wtf is 'proper' advice? 'legal chances at prevailing at trial' is just a fucking guess even for trial attorneys and you aren't that 'it's not a client's right to refuse to settle'. it's always a client's right to refuse to settle unless it's not because you've made them give away that right to you which i doubt is ethically possible. 'ethical duty to warn' absolutely agree. this is why it is their call to make. if you warn them about all of the pitfalls and they still want a trial, the client should get a trial. |
|
Date: May 19th, 2015 8:37 PM Author: Fuchsia Bawdyhouse Dingle Berry i tell the truth that 97% plus of cases do not go to trial and that it is very rare and that if they go to trial its very sterssful for the client, expensive, and often counter productive becacuse a jury is unpredictable so you cannot rely on them ruling in ur favor. I tell them that almost all cases settle at mediation and that if we canot settle at mediation then the case cld get dmissed by the judge at MSJ. I also mention its not like Judge Judy or a TV show. Also mention to my clients who have emotional distress damages that they will be subjected to a instrustive pysch exam by some faggot bullshit defense expert witness pysch who can ask them abt all sorts of personal shit in their life
Of course solo Earl wld tell them some lying bogus BS abt how he is a valiant warrior who will take the client's SHIT case to trial and advance 50k in costs because that is what VALIANT WARRIOR TRIAL LAWYERS like hapa faggot earl do and surely the jury will rule in the clients favor and all cases shld be prepared for trial

the term "capable" of taking a case to trial is just stupid. i am fully capable of going to trial. am i super experienced in that? no, but neither are 98% of the defense lawyers who i go against, so ur whole argument is just fucking stupid. its like saying no one should play in the NBA unless they can dunk.. just STFU faggot |

Aside from his genetics, he is making more than pretty much anyone on XOXO (sorry rsf 9/11 money doesnt count because it is not real income).
Not only is he WGWAG spawn but he himself WGWAGs currently. I mean, not even Genghis motherfucking Khan himself - the most alpha Asian of all time - could keep his empire together after he died, but Earl is ensuring his superior genetic lineage is passed down to the Xth generation.
Lastly, he is the only man on earth to have dunked on Whokebe, although Whokebe has tried - unsuccessfully - to reversebigwilliestyle pwn him by claiming he was the dunker and not the dunkee. |

Not too familiar with earl. How old is he? If mid-30s, $300K is good. Poasters in this board don't seem to understand that careers are 30 years old or more. Earl has 15 more years of working at least. That $300K could go up to $500K over time theoretically.
It's not the pinnacle of success but it is a good outcome. I know non-law people making 200K-300K at 30, they seem happy. |
