Defending POS drug dealer probationer who got in a shoot-out. The victim had gunshot residue on his hands and the cops did a GSR test. I went through all the disco but never got the GSR. Knowing he was on probation, and even without the gun fight charges, he would get sentenced for fleeing the scene, I worked a great deal to plead him out to a lot less time than he was facing. His wife never fully paid me.
And then he filed against me because I never actually got the GSR disco and I have to testify in a hearing about my own competence.

Former ProsBro here,
GSR is CSI flame.
GSR could have come from a lot of different sources OTHER THAN your client having a gun.

One of the last partnerships we destroyed and absorbed involved a messy transition process where the target’s remaining leadership engaged in a sort of weepy pleading campaign with its value base to try and stave off a complete loss of the group. For a frozen moment—infinitesimal, a fleaspeck on the scale of galactic time—in my courageheart I felt a twinge of—remorse? sadness? empathy? But I was on top of the destabilization, which is how we’d been trained: sense it, acknowledge it, address it, kill it (the SAAKme Protocol). Quick tear of the boost packet sewn into the Milanese pick stitched ticket pocket of each of our jackets, three pills popped, the feeling damped down, steady cool and calm again, readymade for some blackletter action. “A people should know when they’re conquered,” uttered underbreath and we were back at it folks, all apologies for the irregularly unscheduled interruption. I’m ashamed of the destabilization; I don’t talk about it with my colleagues or family and this is the first time I’ve ever written about it. I can’t let it happen again.
Thanks for the opportunity to share.

small claims personal matter for one of our business clients, I lost to a pro-se defendant involving a failure to disclose certain home defects when she sold her house to my client. Judge ruled that I couldn't prove a certain element of first hand knowledge of the issue by the defendant needed in our claims, despite two experts testifying that this problem obviously had been going on for a long time before the house was sold to my client. Client was stuck having to pay to fix literal shit coming up through her shower drain, I felt like the worst lawyer in the world.
Luckily the client still kept their business matters with us.

i was a month or so into my first attorney job. i had to write a motion for a shitty case for one of the partners. the morning the partner was set to argue the motion (in the 2nd highest court in the state), he comes in late. then he says, "good news: you're arguing the motion this morning." the hearing was in an hour.
i opened beautifully. but the old judge was pissed as fuck that morning, and seemed extra offended to have to deal with a fresh-faced young attorney he didn't know in his hallowed courtroom. the judge gave me a hard time from the start. then, as i questioned our witness, the partner slid me a piece of paper telling me to do something procedural.
i hesitated, because i didn't think it was necessary, but hell if i'm going to disrespect my boss. so i followed the partner's instructions. the judge glared at me, nostrils flared, and said as nastily as possible, "Well, dr. thunder, as you should be aware, you do not have to do that in this court." the judge then proceeded to just destroy the hell out of me every chance he got, intentionally trying to humiliate me in front of our clients and an absolutely packed courtroom.
what a shit profession, i thought, as i left the courtroom to return to the office to bill more hours.

Getting waitlisted by penn.
Guess I wasn’t a lawyer then though.
I also got dinged by stroock and a lot of other ttt firms when I was job searching.

I have two -
1. Client blowing up my phone and then complaining to the partner that I wasn't responding during my grandma's funeral (both knew that I would be at a funeral all morning) and me feeling it was absolutely necessary to step out of the funeral a little early to return the calls.
2. Being forced (after client tantrum that I was away from the office for one fucking day) to take what turned out to be a 4 hour closing checklist review conference call while sitting on a video poker stool at the Bellagio.

Practicing family law.
I repped the husband of an American idol contestant and he called me obsessively 20 times a day on my cell until I fired him.

this is going to sound ridiculous, but striking out at OCI during the economic bloodbath was the worst moment in my legal career. I actively thought of suicide.
since then, the worst I've felt is in the courtroom every time a verdict doesn't go my way

Partner screaming at me for not catching errors in a 30 pg doc when I was told to review a small section for a cost sensitive client. I guess the client caught it (who apparently wasn't that upset about it) and told the partner. This partner was a fucking psycho. I stood there for what felt like 30 mins just getting reamed. The summer associate (who was also my mentee) was just outside. I was so concerned with impressing the partner that I cancelled dinner with my closest sibling visiting from out of town. It pisses me off now how much I let this type of shit influence my decisions.
Fast forward to today. The old firm is an approved firm, but I continously try to send the work elsewhere. Some old partners have invited me to lunch, but I always decline.

I've mentioned him on here before but I had this fucking pro bono client.
Partner dropped in and informed he was taking a pro bono client and I would be helping him. This guy had a legit claim against the .gov and they gave him a reasonable offer. The problem is the client was completely unreasonable and because we were pro bono didn't care how much time we spent on this fucking matter. So we ended up in this protracted struggle for no real reason. Then the partner fucking laterals and doesn't take the pro bono client with him so I'm stuck handling this on my own until another partner takes over. It was seriously hour long phone calls where he'd bitch about how the pledge of allegiance promises justice for all and if he didn't when it wasn't justice and we should put that in the brief. He also posited a massive conspiracy against him and wanted us to represent him in that lawsuit too. And he was sure his life story would be a book someday, so he wanted to be sure he retained the right to publicity. Truly shitty.
I ended up lateraling myself and they became somebody else's problem. Still, pure year of hell. The guy eventually won and received a judgment for the amount the government offered to just settle for.

Early on when I was still doing divorces, I missed my great aunt's funeral for a stupid temporary orders hearing. I called the lawyer tried to get it worked out, nothing doing.
I show up for the hearing 5 minutes after we announce and judge tells us our order the other lawyer comes up and works it out exactly as I had asked the day before. Such a fucking waste.

- Working all Labor Day weekend alone in the office drafting a TRO to be filed Tuesday when the courts open, while a major weekend-long music festival was going on outside of the office. I was still in my office at like 10 pm when headliners hit the stage and had to review Westlaw cases while the muffled sounds of Jay-Z (forgot who it was, but a major at-that-time rapper) were uncomfortably loud in the background. As I walked my fat ass into the office each day I would see hopeful svelte young people (actually not much younger than me) heading towards the festival for a day of enjoyment and was struck how remarkably dissimilar my life was from theirs.
- Taking a 45 minute call from a partner, who was then golfing, the sole purpose of which was to dictate a meaningless 2/3 paragraph email to me to send. He would dictate, ask me to read it back, suggest completely pointless things (such as "is there a comma after the "however" that started the second sentence? Yes? Okay, remove that and read it back. No wait, just start the sentence with "although" with no comma. Read it back for me"); and he finally very carefully laid out the order of seniority by which I needed to cc the client recipients. He was actually a nice guy, and it wasn't so much a personal low point as a moment of realization that I do not want to do what I just did for a living, and I never wanted to become anyone like that partner who cared about such things.

Started my solo firm literally the SAME WEEK that everything in the world got shut down due to COVID in March 2020 (I started it March 9, by that weekend everything was shut down).
After 4-5 months of no new clients, no ability to network, courts all shut down, my clients I took with me not needing much work, I didn't qualify for any of the PPP loans or any of that assistance shit due to the timing of starting my firm (also my regular state assistance application got completely fucked up and ignored and I never got any relief money) and me making like $2-3k a month in revenue, I seriously wondered if I need to give up the solo dream and apply for a job. This would have been a serious failure in my mind. Then by December I settled my first ever PI case for policy limits and by January 2021 my revenue finally started going up and I started getting more clients.
That first 4-5 months though, I was like WTF do I do

1. Newly solo, took $2,000 from some puerto rican who had blown off his domestic violence classes as part of pre trial diversion. Bench warrant issued. Went in with my guy to beg for more time. Left court with all of his belongings in a brown bag because he was remanded on the spot. Had to meet him 10 days later to give him his phone and wallet and it was humiliating.
2. Took a shitty PI case to trial first year solo. Little 8 year old girl hurt on go kart track but track didnt really do anything wrong. I argued she should not have been allowed on track if she couldnt steer, but in reality her white trash mom let her go. We got zipped and mom got hit with a costs judgment (uncollectible fortunately).
