Someone like Judge Webster is no nonsense but Arth is just an a$$ and lacked so much professional in this video. I'm personally disappointed in his behavior and I'm also disappointed in the commentary on this video. I also feel like his behavior was bordering on sexist if not outright sexist. I'm not giving either of the lawyers a pass on their shortcomings and certainly anyone can disagree but this is my strong opinion after watching this video.
The properties even as a separate company would still flow to their personal tax returns as a K1, but if they’re the only owners it’d be a schedule E on their personal taxes under the LLC if there is one. They may be early on in the rental properties where they’re breaking even and not profitable yet.
I'll explain it. Mexicans do a ton of contracting under the table all cash deals and they work under different and fake social securities you would be surprised how much money is in the illegal Mexican things. They even get car loans and house loans all with fake documents and they game the system by still getting government entitlements food stamps, free rent, free medical, so trust me they hide their money very well.. just look at THIS CASE!! the chick is scamming the dude is scamming it's all just smoke and mirrors with dreamers.
Once again LTWM causes me great trouble and harm. I liked that statement by the judge, "I want a direct answer with as few words as possible", so much, that I tried using it with the wife tonight. Now my eye is bandaged up.
Hey Mike. Is there a way to put you in the upper left corner instead of lower left? A lot of the captions come across the bottom, and for those like me who have a hard time hearing sometimes, we can read along with those captions. With your handsome picture on the top, the captions are more clear. I’m not a computer jerk, so don’t know if this is even possible. If not, oh well. Thanks anyway. This apples to your other videos too.
Oh my gosh, I just realized this dude re-modeled our bathroom several years ago. We paid half up front and the rest when he finished. About 2 years later he called my husband and said we had not paid him!! Thank God for proof of pay by check from the bank! I really enjoy your channel!
I'm only watching this because I love LTWM. 💜 I'm the female that had an ex-husband that did this to me in court for 6 years! It was a nightmare! it is nigh impossible to prove a negative like "she stole money and hid it somewhere." This whole stupid fight brings up bad memories. Sigh...
I swear this Judge has an ingrown hair up his "assets" hearing a females voice. "I don't trust what you are saying?!?" Is he serious?!? Thanks for clarifying this, Mike. Was about to chuck this whole stuff up!🤨
❌⚖️❌ So the Judge says earlier something to the effect of: 25:22 👨🏼⚖️ 🗯️ *”STOP TALKING … Wait 5 seconds AFTER I FINISH ASKING A QUESTION before you respond.”* _(Not verbatim but close enough)_ 👤 She waits 5 seconds before answering. ⚠️⚠️ The next time he asks a question, 26:55 *SHE WAITS THE 5 SECONDS* ❌❌❌ He *WILL NOT* LET HER ANSWER and the 👨🏼⚖️ starts talking *after 4 seconds OR LESS* 👨🏼⚖️🗯️ _How is that my problem today? _ *when clearly* her lawyer 👤 was waiting 5 seconds* before responding. *The Judge is kind of a jerk at times* 🤷🏼♂️ He’s totally gaslighting her.
My ex-husband owns a business. When we divorced, the only thing I requested was for my name to not be associated with any of his business loans or assets. This made him pretty heated because it dragged out all the laundry... but it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
You are amazing and i wish my ex wife had done the same as you since i worked 15yrs building MY business up from nothing and she never had worked a day in her life but she won the lottery in divorce court! ☹️
My ex-husband and his dad had their own business and it was supposed to be passed down to our kids. My ex-husband is not the biological father of my oldest daughter but he has never treated her any different from the 2 kids we have together. He was the only father figure in her life for many years. But I didn't ask for anything and I didn't want my name on anything with their business.
I just can’t wrap my head around how divorces get so nasty. So happy I walked away with only my freedom and my kids when I left my ex-husband. Starting over with nothing just to be out of that marriage was worth way more than anything I could have fought to take from it.
I love how you said that $20k is nothing for a year, how about living on less than that as I do on Soc Sec???😮😢 I used to do apt rehab years ago & construction with my husband . People didn’t think I could help carry a huge roll of carpet … looks can be deceiving. That lady could do all the repairs. The husband looked really shady to me, plus no dr report??? Really?? just in time for court. Hmmm.
Wow. What a peach of a judge. Infuriating. Couldn't finish this case. Stopped about 20 min into it. That judge is rude, unfair, unprofessional and a real jerk. They are supposed to be fair to both parties. It's cases like these that I refuse to watch. 😡😡
He's not yet ready for all these upstart women making it happen without chattels to a man -like his God intend (the men slipped that in to his bible in 600AD). To be fair Ms. Godwin is a little bit loose with the standards and facts, but Hernandez was not forthcoming with facts to a sufficient standard. The judge is a total a-hole demanding not be interrupted, but not letting her finish. The haranguing is a little nasty and vindictive.
"As you can see, your honor he's been in an accident" "I can't see an injury. All I see is a bandage over his eye. " I'm dying laughing 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Not at the fact he was injured, but because the judges respond. The attorney saying he scolded his client was the icing on the cake.
Judge does not seem to like anyone. Cranky old buzzard. I think husband is getting hosed. Couple needed an accountant more than anything. Seemed books were sketchy t he way they kept them or she kept thrm. Imagine wife was in charge. People get karma. Sooner or later she will get hers. Neithet one seem to know how to run a company except maybe run them into the ground. Judge needs a vacation and a bottle of Absolut taken straight.
To be fair I noticed this as well, but, and this is a big but.... Am I wrong in thinking that the female attorney was not answering direct questions directly on her own motion, and definitely gave the appearance that she was trying to 'pull the wool over his eyes'. As soon as he don't the count to 5 routine and answers became forthcoming, his attitude changed?
That woman just seems nasty. And her lawyer sounds like she’s about to burst into tears every other minute, old info, doesn’t understand taxes , I’m surprised the judge didn’t tell them all to just f off
@@brendajohnson8056that part was understandable because she just wouldn’t say yes or no and the stuff she was bringing up like the advertising thing was super weak
I found the judge a little annoying. She told him at the beginning that the taxes were for High Chaparral property. Then he accuses her of lying. He’s the one that obviously got confused. I also noticed that he didn’t even pursue the fact that the husband’s lawyer refused to give the wife’s lawyer his address or contact information when he could clearly still get ahold of him.
Gonna be honest, having watched Judge Arth a bit now, I am unimpressed with him overall. I just don't think he handled this all that well, frankly speaking.
I agree. But this is ridiculous not getting info from opposing counsel and this not being resolved by now so everyone can move on. I did catch the husband choked the wife which made it all a volatile situation to start! Along with unpaid prior taxes, a wrecked vehicle & a business not turned over as ordered in court. (websites) I'm not understanding all the bashing of the wife. So sorta makes sense why nothing can be resolved. What a mess!!!!
1:02:49 100% correct. When you bend to lift you increase your blood pressure and if your eye is damaged you can damage it further. When I had cataract surgery I was on light duty for ....(if I remember correctly) 4 weeks and it was minor surgery. I wasn't allowed to lift anything. Danger of infection is because a construction site isn't very clean.....
At first I thought that the husband was present. I second guessed that when the judge ignored the wife's attny, asking her all the questions but only asked hubs attny, didn't direct any questions to him. His attny brings up his accident, you know, the one he scolded him for🤣. Judge says abt the bandage.. so I look closer. Mr V hadn't moved in almost an hour, wow it must be showing his picture. Then all of a sudden, he moves!!! It was him!!! He stood there for an hour!!! Not moving a muscle.. Did the judge know he was there or not? 'Yes' lol But in all seriousness, that judge was extremely rude to the woman attny & Mrs V. Then he's up there drinking and stretching 🤔 would he do that in court? Power tripping, to me anyway. Just an observation.
As a CPA, rare but I’ve had to work with attorneys to untangle shit like this before. Interesting case! Thanks Mike, it is a bit like one of those random case studies that you don’t think you’ll ever see in real life. Messiest webs in my opinions are family farms but they’re also some of the best clients 🤣
Both of those attorneys are...not the best. Hernandez won't accept service/find a place for his client to accept service on motion? And hasn't completed all the terms of the orders? And Godwin is making wild requests that don't make sense and is getting shaky at the least bit of resistance from the judge.
Agreed! I was actually disappointed with his behavior. I know these lawyers were ill prepared and didn’t seem to know how to allow others to speak before speaking themselves, but there was no reason for the judge to be so dismissive and condescending.
Have you been watching the mark Jensen ( antifreeze) trial? That judge is absolutely appalling!.. and has had a vicious go at both sides! He's truly a nasty piece of work! Considering 2 previous convictions in this case have ended up being overturned, I'd hasten to think that so will this one, due to the judges attitude! He stops court at 5pm whether either side is mid-flow or not! Fridays session was stopped in the middle of a video for goodness sakes 😳😳 He also sends the jury out whenever he wants to talk to the lawyers.. won't even do a sidebar! Can you imagine if he presided over the Darrell brooks trial?.. the jury would have been kicking it in the jury lounge for weeks 😂
It sounds like she wants to force him to start completely from scratch. With nothing to his name and all the assets going to her for sale or whatever. She wants him punished.
all these couples appearing in cases like this are a prime example that you don't get married! or at the very least get a prenup so you both leave with what you came with and work out how to split what's been joined during the relationship.
That is a perfect case to validate the notion that married couples should NOT mix business with personal life! Do not involve family either. This is what you get when the marriage falls apart and you end up on divorce court!
I I thought I was the only one who saw this. The wife/petitioner was answering the judges questions about the taxes, the property, etc. and he kept making mistakes. To say that she’s being dishonest is not necessarily true.
@@JoJoTinkRN Did you notice the wife's attorney waiting 5 seconds after the judge stopped talking before she answered after he ordered her to do that? Loved it. Total malicious compliance
Godwin is a basket case…. She seems far too invested in this to be a good attorney. Also, side note, how can he lose his namesake company in a divorce without kids!?! Something wrong there.
Mike she's about to start bawling... She can hardly speak, that's why she's struggling to get anything out about the attorney fees.... Bigen saw it and had compassion about it. That was heartbreaking to watch. I wouldn't have been able to speak either, and i would've said the bare minimum, just enough to get by. This lady is having the best cry session as soon as she gets off there. This hearing was absolutely ridiculous, that judge is why judge's are given a bad name!!
I'm actually appalled this judge treated Ms. Godwin with such disrespect. I totally understand she might not be the brightest bulb, however he was very rude & unprofessional as far as I'm concerned. I feel like Mr. Valazquez attorney was not much brighter however he wasn't treated with disrespect. Just my opinion 🤷🏻♀️
IMO this Ex-wife is just out to DISTORY her ex-husband anyway she can. I understand about the non-work of a sub contractor as my husband is one. This women is how women are given the name GOLD-DIGGER!!!!!!
You can see his eye open behind the banding. The two times I had my cornea scratched, one extremely badly, I was unable to actually open my eye, they ACTUALLY "taped" my eye shut.
This whole thing fascinates me, because here in the UK we've only _just_ allowed cameras to record or broadcast the verdict part of a trial or court case. But certainly not the entire process from start to end. At least for criminal court, I'm not sure if civilian court has also had restrictions on allowing cameras or broadcasting of the entire process - but I don't remember ever seeing any footage from our courtrooms.
Thanks guys! My Lord, I went through this in a divorce where I created a successful business with my stay at home wife and she got the business and drove it into the ground! The reasoning was that she raised the children (while I busted my ass) and so since I was gone so much building the business, the kids suffered. So why not give her the house, the kids and the business she had no idea how to run?
If Ms. Castelán has brothers or nephews, they’re the ones who worked on the properties, not Mr. Velasquez. It doesn’t matter if they’re pianists or physicists. It’s just the way we do things. 🤷🏽♀️
What did he say that was "abusive" If you think that is abusive you and everyone who liked the comment are ultra sensitive and if you get your feelings hurt during your life it is most likely just you.
Honestly I feel that because the judge is a man and the attorney is female and, in my opinion, took things personally and showed herself to be weak says nothing about the judge and everything about the attorney. It’s so unfair and frankly insulting to expect the judge to tiptoe around her feelings or treat her any differently simply because she’s a woman. That’s not the exact opposite of equality among the sexes. You can’t argue for equality and then argue and become enraged every time you see it…
@@laurac2424 Yes, I agree, however, I don’t believe the judge was treating the other attorneys as harshly as he was treating her and in my opinion his mannerisms toward her but not the others leaves me to believe he simply doesn’t like or respect her. Judges should not show any biased toward anyone in the court regardless of their feelings. That’s part of their job.
The woman's lawyer sounds like she's about to break into tears 😔😔 he was really unnecessarily rude to her 😔.. and yes, I'd know as I too do family law.
Well then be prepared for the hearing. Know how to lay a foundation for your bill. Don’t bring issues before the court that you have not attempted to discuss prior to court as required by law. The judge would have been perfectly justified in simply denying her requests for not meeting basic legal standards. Frankly that is what would have happened to me. She was given extra opportunity and now it’s being spun as rudeness it boggles the mind. I understand everyone isn’t an attorney and doesn’t know that which is why I tried to give it some perspective.
I’ve seen a pattern with a lot of Mikes videos where the attorneys don’t have exact numbers in front of them or don’t have all the documents that they should know the judge will ask for. It’s very evident here.
These women are outta their minds. They want the dudes business (i highly doubt she out there doing remodeling), she gets the rent from 3 of his rental houses, AND she wants him to pay for her property taxes? So basically she deserves everything, and he should just work to financially support her as she goes off and does whatever with whoever. So fucked.
This hearing was a mess because the attorneys were not prepared and also that judge is a jerk. He yelled at the lady saying she told him property taxes for a different property when she clearly said the high chaparral one. I don't blame the attorney for almost being in tears.
I just had cataract surgery on my left eye this past Wednesday and I was oked to play golf tomorrow, on Sunday. I'm not supposed lift more than 20lbs for a week, not two months. I've had metal shavings in both eyes, badly slicing up both eyes, resulting in both being bandaged for 10 days. As soon as the bandages were off, I was released back to my manual labor job, in which there was heavy lifting.
Mike - you should make a tee-shirt/hoody with ALL the sayings on them for those of us who can only afford one or two. Unless you want to give us all one free!!!!!!! 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
This judge is unnecessarily rude and abrasive. And, I say this as a person who watches LTWM a lot and usually agree with the men. He cuts the female attorney off immediately, but the male attorney is good to go.
Wow. This judge is either very rude or having a very bad day... I'm going to go ahead and say he's just an asshole. Wow. To humiliate someone publicly like this is NOT cool. 46:50 Mike, he's telling the judge he scolded his client, because he sees the judge is in a scolding mood, this way they have something in common and the judge likes him more.
Just curious the male attorney interrupts is fine. The female interrupts and he snaps at her multiple times. I think I see which way this judge tends to lean
She literally took his business and business property and all their marital property. How did this shit happen? I mean, I know it does, but like legally, how does that work? It's supposed to be split. Also, how is she throwing a fit about him using his own initials as a business. She ran the office and he did the work. She even stole his right to use his own name for business. On top of all that, she wants him to pay her support after stealing his business and their rentals while also paying for the property taxes.
Because he still owns the property apparently. Her getting the rent was apparently part of the temporary order in place. It is messy. The order didn't tell her she had to pay the property taxes either. It's the property owner's responsibility to pay the property taxes absent some kind of agreement.
I mean,shes making 300.00 an hour to do the work the judge excepted her to know&have so..not sure why anyone feels bad,she didn’t do a very good job at all
@@jenh7417 She could have done a better job, but to be humiliated like this in front of everyone is not cool. If I don't do a good job, I expect my boss to tell me behind closed doors, not shout at me to "shut my mouth" in front of everyone. I'm surprised he didn't throw a swear word in there. Extremely unprofessional.
@@jenh7417no one deserves to be treated that way. They never got a chance to even speak, she tried to tell him what was going on but he was beyond rude to her.
Mr Velazquez looks stapled to the wall..he hasn’t moved or even blinked

Did you not hear just the total of her rental income? 🤯
Some of the properties could be owned in the name of a company, and therefore wouldn't be in their personal income tax etc

'Yes' lol But in all seriousness, that judge was extremely rude to the woman attny & Mrs V. Then he's up there drinking and stretching 🤔 would he do that in court? Power tripping, to me anyway. Just an observation.
Her demeanor alone tells she is lying. And that attorney should know better than to put a case together like this cause. She's just lousy.
As a CPA, rare but I’ve had to work with attorneys to untangle shit like this before. Interesting case! Thanks Mike, it is a bit like one of those random case studies that you don’t think you’ll ever see in real life. Messiest webs in my opinions are family farms but they’re also some of the best clients 🤣
I'm a CPA too! This kind of stuff is always a delight to listen to :-) Job security!
OMG she charges 300.00 dollars an hr. And she sounds like she is crying
Few things make Arth angry like wasting his time
My screaming goat was delivered this week lol!
Both of those attorneys are...not the best.
Hernandez won't accept service/find a place for his client to accept service on motion? And hasn't completed all the terms of the orders?
And Godwin is making wild requests that don't make sense and is getting shaky at the least bit of resistance from the judge.
He humiliated her.
I like this judge.
The judge is really being an ass today. He isn’t normally like this.
Agreed!
I was actually disappointed with his behavior. I know these lawyers were ill prepared and didn’t seem to know how to allow others to speak before speaking themselves, but there was no reason for the judge to be so dismissive and condescending.
Yep, 💯 percent agree. He's needs a slap on the wrist for his behavior. It's abhorrent.
He was acting like a bully.. not nice at all
Have you been watching the mark Jensen ( antifreeze) trial? That judge is absolutely appalling!.. and has had a vicious go at both sides! He's truly a nasty piece of work! Considering 2 previous convictions in this case have ended up being overturned, I'd hasten to think that so will this one, due to the judges attitude! He stops court at 5pm whether either side is mid-flow or not! Fridays session was stopped in the middle of a video for goodness sakes 😳😳
He also sends the jury out whenever he wants to talk to the lawyers.. won't even do a sidebar! Can you imagine if he presided over the Darrell brooks trial?.. the jury would have been kicking it in the jury lounge for weeks 😂
agreed being a real grumble bum
This wife and he lawyer just fib,omit,fudge the numbers and just out right lies as much as possible ?It's no wonder their getting a divorce .
I am a bit confused, she wants access to all the business social media accounts but doesn't want to actually run the business herself?
It sounds like she wants to force him to start completely from scratch. With nothing to his name and all the assets going to her for sale or whatever. She wants him punished.
Did you hear the judge? Maybe she just doesn’t want the guy to destroy his business with his shitty SM management
all these couples appearing in cases like this are a prime example that you don't get married! or at the very least get a prenup so you both leave with what you came with and work out how to split what's been joined during the relationship.
That is a perfect case to validate the notion that married couples should NOT mix business with personal life! Do not involve family either. This is what you get when the marriage falls apart and you end up on divorce court!
It doesn’t matter. If you start a business within the time you are married, then it becomes a marital asset.
The wife and her family are loaded.
44:42 i feel like I'm taking crazy pills. She was saying the same thing the whole time! This judge is a pen*s
I I thought I was the only one who saw this. The wife/petitioner was answering the judges questions about the taxes, the property, etc. and he kept making mistakes. To say that she’s being dishonest is not necessarily true.
@@JoJoTinkRN Did you notice the wife's attorney waiting 5 seconds after the judge stopped talking before she answered after he ordered her to do that? Loved it. Total malicious compliance
Godwin is a basket case…. She seems far too invested in this to be a good attorney. Also, side note, how can he lose his namesake company in a divorce without kids!?! Something wrong there.
I know in Calif a ‘long term marriage’ is 10 years With no kids and less than 10 years, why is this even in the courts still?
Exactly
Arth really unsettled Godwin.
I thought she was holding back tears.
These 2 attorneys are as ill-prepared as it gets. Did they think this judge would just let them hover just above ineffective counsel?
How can you say that when they're not allowed to even talk??
Mike she's about to start bawling... She can hardly speak, that's why she's struggling to get anything out about the attorney fees.... Bigen saw it and had compassion about it. That was heartbreaking to watch. I wouldn't have been able to speak either, and i would've said the bare minimum, just enough to get by. This lady is having the best cry session as soon as she gets off there. This hearing was absolutely ridiculous, that judge is why judge's are given a bad name!!
He could possibly be hiding income as well. My ex was an independent contractor. It's so easy to hide when you are paid in cash.
Yep, my brother's dad did this and my mom got screwed in child support for my brother.
Good because bitter exes like steal everything
Mobile home rents for $2k a month ???!!!
I'm actually appalled this judge treated Ms. Godwin with such disrespect. I totally understand she might not be the brightest bulb, however he was very rude & unprofessional as far as I'm concerned. I feel like Mr. Valazquez attorney was not much brighter however he wasn't treated with disrespect. Just my opinion 🤷🏻♀️
IMO this Ex-wife is just out to DISTORY her ex-husband anyway she can. I understand about the non-work of a sub contractor as my husband is one. This women is how women are given the name GOLD-DIGGER!!!!!!
This is ridiculous literally if this man would go out and buy a roll of toilet paper and she finds out about it she's going to try to take it from him
I just want to point out that I am so fat, I am a thrupple all on my own😂😂😂
You can see his eye open behind the banding. The two times I had my cornea scratched, one extremely badly, I was unable to actually open my eye, they ACTUALLY "taped" my eye shut.
This whole thing fascinates me, because here in the UK we've only _just_ allowed cameras to record or broadcast the verdict part of a trial or court case. But certainly not the entire process from start to end. At least for criminal court, I'm not sure if civilian court has also had restrictions on allowing cameras or broadcasting of the entire process - but I don't remember ever seeing any footage from our courtrooms.
Thanks guys! My Lord, I went through this in a divorce where I created a successful business with my stay at home wife and she got the business and drove it into the ground! The reasoning was that she raised the children (while I busted my ass) and so since I was gone so much building the business, the kids suffered. So why not give her the house, the kids and the business she had no idea how to run?
Tough one ... That sucks
that is so ass backwards.. sorry mate..
If Ms. Castelán has brothers or nephews, they’re the ones who worked on the properties, not Mr. Velasquez. It doesn’t matter if they’re pianists or physicists. It’s just the way we do things. 🤷🏽♀️
This judge is abusive to this attorney! He appears to have some personal issue with her.
She is a liar, maybe that's why
What did he say that was "abusive" If you think that is abusive you and everyone who liked the comment are ultra sensitive and if you get your feelings hurt during your life it is most likely just you.
Honestly I feel that because the judge is a man and the attorney is female and, in my opinion, took things personally and showed herself to be weak says nothing about the judge and everything about the attorney.
It’s so unfair and frankly insulting to expect the judge to tiptoe around her feelings or treat her any differently simply because she’s a woman. That’s not the exact opposite of equality among the sexes. You can’t argue for equality and then argue and become enraged every time you see it…
@@laurac2424 Yes, I agree, however, I don’t believe the judge was treating the other attorneys as harshly as he was treating her and in my opinion his mannerisms toward her but not the others leaves me to believe he simply doesn’t like or respect her. Judges should not show any biased toward anyone in the court regardless of their feelings. That’s part of their job.
The woman's lawyer sounds like she's about to break into tears 😔😔 he was really unnecessarily rude to her 😔.. and yes, I'd know as I too do family law.
Yeah this was unnecessarily harsh.
being talked down to like you're a child in front of a client you represent for 300$ an hour is a little stressful
Well then be prepared for the hearing. Know how to lay a foundation for your bill. Don’t bring issues before the court that you have not attempted to discuss prior to court as required by law. The judge would have been perfectly justified in simply denying her requests for not meeting basic legal standards. Frankly that is what would have happened to me. She was given extra opportunity and now it’s being spun as rudeness it boggles the mind. I understand everyone isn’t an attorney and doesn’t know that which is why I tried to give it some perspective.
I'm not an attorney, but from my perspective, the judge seemed annoyed with Godwin simply because she didn't have her ducks in a row .
@@oooooollllllll boohoo! She should’ve come prepared!!
I think Mike forgot he had a current felony assault charge - strangulation I pretty sure mentioned at the onset against her soooo. Who knows.
Godwin sounds like she's about to cry.
Seriously. The shaking voice is getting more grievous as the call goes on. I wonder if there's history between the judge and Godwin.
I’ve seen a pattern with a lot of Mikes videos where the attorneys don’t have exact numbers in front of them or don’t have all the documents that they should know the judge will ask for. It’s very evident here.
This just is super cranky! But I love when judges and attorneys force whoever they’re questioning to only give a yes or no answer.
When it's necessary. This guy is just being a prick.
These women are outta their minds. They want the dudes business (i highly doubt she out there doing remodeling), she gets the rent from 3 of his rental houses, AND she wants him to pay for her property taxes? So basically she deserves everything, and he should just work to financially support her as she goes off and does whatever with whoever. So fucked.
This hearing was a mess because the attorneys were not prepared and also that judge is a jerk. He yelled at the lady saying she told him property taxes for a different property when she clearly said the high chaparral one. I don't blame the attorney for almost being in tears.
Yeah, he’s not paying attention. And I can’t stand judges who flex their power like that
I just saw the IG page and I would never hire this guy to remodel anything! He is bizarre 😳
I just had cataract surgery on my left eye this past Wednesday and I was oked to play golf tomorrow, on Sunday.
I'm not supposed lift more than 20lbs for a week, not two months.
I've had metal shavings in both eyes, badly slicing up both eyes, resulting in both being bandaged for 10 days.
As soon as the bandages were off, I was released back to my manual labor job, in which there was heavy lifting.
I"m sorry, but I really don't like this judge. he's so mean-spirited and offensive. maybe on a power trip? 🤷🏻♀️
Mike - you should make a tee-shirt/hoody with ALL the sayings on them for those of us who can only afford one or two. Unless you want to give us all one free!!!!!!! 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
This judge and his way of speaking annoyed the F@ck out me. I almost ripped my ears off.
This judge is unnecessarily rude and abrasive. And, I say this as a person who watches LTWM a lot and usually agree with the men. He cuts the female attorney off immediately, but the male attorney is good to go.
Yep!!!
Totally agree
Do you think there is a possibility that she will be better prepared next time? Judges don't like their time being wasted by incompetence.
Yep. She is not allowed to talk, but happy to hear the male attorney ramble on about the guys injury from a tile which has nothing to do with trial.
The difference is the male attorney isn't speaking over the judge. From my own personal experience, judges don't like it when you do that.
Wow. This judge is either very rude or having a very bad day... I'm going to go ahead and say he's just an asshole. Wow. To humiliate someone publicly like this is NOT cool.
46:50 Mike, he's telling the judge he scolded his client, because he sees the judge is in a scolding mood, this way they have something in common and the judge likes him more.
Just curious the male attorney interrupts is fine. The female interrupts and he snaps at her multiple times. I think I see which way this judge tends to lean
She literally took his business and business property and all their marital property. How did this shit happen? I mean, I know it does, but like legally, how does that work? It's supposed to be split. Also, how is she throwing a fit about him using his own initials as a business. She ran the office and he did the work. She even stole his right to use his own name for business. On top of all that, she wants him to pay her support after stealing his business and their rentals while also paying for the property taxes.
I want the fewest words necessary to answer the questions. Perfect t-shirt for cops when they in counter sovereigns!
The shakiness in the attorneys voice says it all. The judge completely through her off her game.
The goat screaming is everything
This woman is a gold digger and she is trying to bleed him dry.
She's getting all the rent, and she wants him to pay the taxes. WTH is that. Attorney busted on that one
Because he still owns the property apparently. Her getting the rent was apparently part of the temporary order in place. It is messy. The order didn't tell her she had to pay the property taxes either. It's the property owner's responsibility to pay the property taxes absent some kind of agreement.
@@jgoemat an utter mess.
This judge and female lawyer were married in another life!
This judge is horrible!! Border line insulting!! He treats her like an idiot!!
Wow this judge !!!! Just wow
My husband is Mexican, he never answered OR questions correctly, 10 years later it still drives me absolutely crazy 😂
If you’re gonna become a lawyer, you should probably learn how not to cry in court.
How does the judge not understand that she can’t operate the business without the website and social media accounts ridiculous.
Yeah thats what I was thinking. As someone who does social media for a living it's infuriating. These days social media's are your company life blood
Didn’t she say she doesn’t want to run the business though. That part confused me.
Great Judge !!
30:25 this poor lawyer is fighting back tears sooooooo hard it kinda makes me feel bad for her.
Me too. I do feel a little bad for sure.
I mean,shes making 300.00 an hour to do the work the judge excepted her to know&have so..not sure why anyone feels bad,she didn’t do a very good job at all
she's a fraudster
@@jenh7417 She could have done a better job, but to be humiliated like this in front of everyone is not cool. If I don't do a good job, I expect my boss to tell me behind closed doors, not shout at me to "shut my mouth" in front of everyone. I'm surprised he didn't throw a swear word in there. Extremely unprofessional.
@@jenh7417no one deserves to be treated that way. They never got a chance to even speak, she tried to tell him what was going on but he was beyond rude to her.
The Valezquez case that company was their baby lol
