Date: September 24th, 2015 1:30 PM Author: Multi-colored Erotic Stain Selfie Yeah, it was a no-win-scenario because the guy had a colorable-but-minor claim that should have been settled for something like ten grand. But the plaintiff wanted his day in court and was immune to reason and therefore wouldn't settle.
The complaint literally cited to the pledge of allegiance and its promise of "justice for ALL" (bold and underlined, naturally). At an early hearing where the judge was pushing him very strongly to settle, the judge mentioned that that most civil disputes settle and the plaintiff shot right back with, "Well, maybe it's time to change how we practice law in this country!" We had to repeatedly hang up on him during settlement "negotiations" because he wouldn't stop screaming. Complete nightmare. |

Date: September 24th, 2015 1:36 PM Author: Multi-colored Erotic Stain Selfie Honestly, I was only tangentially involved, but it was the subject of a lot of talk at the firm. As I recall: After nearly a year, finally the judge lost patience and admonished the plaintiff that the action would be dismissed if not prosecuted properly. Plaintiff hooked up with some local firm and got the ten grand he could have gotten almost right away. The firm ended up writing off a lot of time because it was a good client and the amount would have been out of all proportion to the dispute. The glory and the majesty of the law!

The judges give them a ton of leyway and they can get away with crap that attorneys who know better can't. Also, the smart ones know they can bleed out your client with fees by dragging a case out.
The really scary ones are the ones who guess right on a cause of action and won't settle for anything. |

Date: February 25th, 2018 11:33 AM Author: Adventurous Canary Pervert I had a couple that I 12(b)(6)'d. Then one guy who had a "legal assistant" correspondence degree, who knew just enough to be dangerous. He actually figured out how to use google scholar or justia to cite cases, drafted discovery, he even took a deposition. He filed every motion he could, appealed every mag ruling to the district court, and eventually even appealed to the CoA when we got summary judgment.
Dude must have poured hundreds of hours into this nuisance-value case, because he never understood that it was nuisance value. One of the strangest cases I've ever been on. At one point he accused me of perjury and threatened to report me to the bar, then at the end of the case he shook my hand, told me what a great lawyer I was and how much he had learned from me. |

It is brutal. All you can do it be very very polite. If you push properly, the judge will bust you. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2999912&forum_id=2#35483106) |

When they start with their sovereign citizen spiel, I use my stamp on top of one of their signatures. This means that they have been Federal Notarized as a United States Citizen, which takes away their sovereign citizen protections
Furthermore unless they are able to Prove in a Federal Court that they are not registered for the draft, the Federal Notarization enables the proceedings to proceed even if the flag in the court house has military fringe on it |
