I am a former attorney working in a position where oftentimes I come across people who just need a little direction (from a legal perspective) to make their lives a whole lot easier. But my position doesn’t allow me to give even simple legal advice. So I am just brutally honest with people and tell them, “Look, I am not allowed to give you legal advice. So I am not allowed to tell you that you should file [whatever form needs to be filed] at [whatever office needs to receive that form]. I repeat: I am NOT giving you that advice, because I am NOT allowed to give you legal advice like that. DO WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER?” You’d be surprised how many actually don’t understand what I am trying to do for them.
I heard a story where someone called a welder about welding the frame on their truck. He told them it was too rusty to repair. They asked him what to do and he joked they could park it in the lake and collect the insurance money. A few weeks later the cops caught someone trying to steal it for scrap... out of the lake. Apparently they took him serious and dumped it in the lake but told someone else about it so he tried to go get it so he could scrap it. I'm reasonably sure this happened in a trailer park.
Not surprised many don’t get it but also thank you for trying to help with that work around. Ppl who share their expertise for free make this greedy world such a better place.
If a judge in court ever gave me "friendly advice," I WOULD TAKE IT. Even if I did not understand the court hearing at all. No questions asked just listen, follow directions. "Yes your honor. Thank You. I will follow advice. Thank you."
Omg the client having to remind their attorney about a hearing. This judge is great. I feel like she really does care about resolving issues and helping people.
The Minnesota Supreme Court has suspended the law license of Twin Cities attorney Michael B. Padden and is considering whether to disbar him after a judge found that Padden mismanaged and misappropriated client funds, repeatedly failed to show up for court hearings, forged a client’s signature on a payment agreement, and urged another client not to appear for a sentencing hearing.
I'm guessing she can sue the lawyer for not only the fee, but emotional distress at having to suddenly face a court of law alone. But she may never get money out of that ex lawyer.
@@bobgonzales3745Yep. She doesn't have a great disposition. And when she gets angry/agitated she's tough to watch as she's not the most eloquent of judges.
@@jaybingham3711 Pretty sure Bobgonzales3745 didn't mean that as an insult :S Not taking crap is a good thing in a judge. Doesn't mean they aren't eloquent. And I've seen her laying down the law.

Judge Middleton is the best. Always low key, and dry humor. I'm thinking he was either in a rock band, or a radio disc jockey back in the day, based on a lot of his musical references
I love the touch of the defendants adjusting their camera so you only see from their nose or eyes up. It's like they are a child looking at you over a fence. It's both adorable and annoying at the same time.
In some Courts, depending on the Judge, the whole face needs to be on camera. And I think that's how it should be. If you were personally in court, you would not be allowed to show a 1/2 face. Zoom Court should be treated as a actual Court, because it is. Seems like even some judges forget that some times... aggravates me!
I've watched a whollle _lot_ of these videos, and the Venn Diagram of _"people who have no idea how to handle their own business in a courtroom setting"_ and _"people who just go ahead and start talking over others"_ is a circle
Prosecutor in the second case just got some brownie points with this judge. haha. The defendant sure did pick up on the vibe coming from the judge and the prosecutor and it worked out for her. Nice.
Maybe it’s a predatory lender. But it could be a deadbeat borrower that has no intention of paying what he owes. And both things could be true at the same time.

Two rules of life, never interrupt your opponent when they're making a mistake, and never open your mouth when you're winning. In both cases, you can never ever improve your situation by speaking.
Love the intelligent addition to the removal of the ‘ex’ attorney from the case statement, haven’t heard it before and the emphasis and pause was very obvious
She got off light from this dirt bag, he’s done this at least 6 times. Got one guy for $25,000, and another for five. His TALE was he had PSTD BAD NEEVES AND DEPRESSION! He’s a crook that needs to be in jail!
Salt and vinegar chips forever!!! Also, I just spent yesterday evening wrestling with tech for a work related thing, but reading directions can get you places.

I'm pretty sure we've seen this guy on Law Talk before. Shout out to anyone who can find the video.
Oh man, that's bad. That's really bad. Chat history is available on this chat and someone said he was disbarred for harm to client, I was expecting he stole money from a settlement or something.
@@nishinomiya2382 He was accused of stealing money, too! There was a list of complaints. I just brought up the one that showed up on a Law Talk stream.
That defendant needs to go back to court & sue that attorney for inadequate representation or something, especially upon hearing that the attorney was disbarred. Who knows how many cases were screwed up because of him?
Re: Your comments regarding drinking and driving in Wisconsin: After having watched several cop bodycam video channels, it has become evident that the proud state pastime of Wisconsin (and apparently New Jersey) is the accumulation of as many DUIs as one can collect before cessation of breath from a full body de-gloving, starting with your face, as you fly through the suddenly stationary windshield of your previously speeding and weaving vehicle , or from cirrhosis of the liver, whichever first occurs.

drink drive convictions in the UK for 2024 was a total of 4670 in total for the whole country. When you consider the population of the UK is circa 66 million, Florida has 10 time that number of DUI's in a year and that's just for a single state. Do they hand out a 6 pack of beer and a bottle of Jack with every driving licence.
@@Broadsword999 I am not going to defend drunk driving in any way. I will say, however, that the United States is considerably larger the the United Kingdom, and most of the country does not have public transit such as trains and buses and are reliant upon individual vehicles. Rural areas especially.
@ In the UK (outside London or other big cities) a large number of people have to rely on cars, as public transport is either unreliable, too expensive, impractical or essentially non-existent. That being the case, I don't really see why people would consider driving under the influence as being OK. In 1970 there were nearly 20,000 drink drive convictions, that has now dropped by 75%, the reduction has been largely due to public education which makes it socially unacceptable to drink and drive. If people in the US don't have access to public transport then they need to understand that being plastered and driving is going to wreck their lives and isn't OK.
I love how the first attorney was winning and then started talking as if trying to convince Judge Middleton of his argument. Like dude...did Judge Middleton say *anything* that was leading you to believe you were losing? Second case: if I hired an attorney and then found out said attorney had been disbarred in a neighboring state (or any state), it would give me some serious pause about the idea of continuing with said attorney in my state. All that to say I think she made the right call.
sitting on a toilet and changing your underwear is simple ..... BUT someone had to change your nappies and wipe your bum until you learnt how to do it yourself !
I don't understand people who don't pay their bills, then fuss when they get taken to court. If your credit card is being fraudulently used (if you believe him, which I don't), it's your responsibility to address it - you don't just ignore the bill. 🤦🏼♀🤪 And I frankly don't want an attorney who's been disbarred - in my or any other state. LOL!!! On a more serious note, I wouldn't count on her seeing any money back that she paid him.
I love the fact that the defendant in the second case was smart enough to: recognize what the judge and prosecutor were not-so-low-key telling her, understood she was getting a great deal, and what stood out most that sue was smart enough to go with the nolo plea in a case that likely involved property damage. When she put up the nolo plea, I am like this might have been the smartest pro se we've seen on the channel.
I like her, she tried to explain the blood test to a guy accused of DUI. He just was Math Dumb and could understand that 0.213 is higherblood alcohol than 0.08
I never knew you could get out of paying a credit card bill by just saying, "I don't owe it", and offering no evidence and lying about your age. Oh you can't? Never mind then.
Mike - it sounds as if you’ve been to our wonderful state of Wisconsin! 😂😂 Don’t worry, we don’t take offense to people thinking we imbibe more than most others.
What he should have said was this current debt is a secondary contract based on an alleged initial debt from a 3rd party lending agency. They sent it to MLCM. They can't collect a debt that is not their's. If the debt can not pay the creditor back, the lending agency is SOL. Setting aside collections, they have to be patient and wait for the money. People fall on hard times. The creditor can put bad marks on your score. Collections is illegal. Comment whatever you want, but I've already dealt with these people. Wait 6 months and get it removed by paying someone else. Yes, it is that simple. Bankruptcy is another option only for emergencies like with a car, home or other tangible asset.
I looked up ChatGPT for this attorney‘s records. I’m going to assume she won’t be getting any money back. According to ChatGPT his serious in fractions included forgery and misappropriation of client funds as well as failing to show up for court appearances.
These debt deniers are the Sovereign citizens of debt. No clue how the law works but watched 10 TIKTOCKS that say you don't owe it. No clue how the signature works, don't read the contract, no clue that payments on file show proof always say the loan is predatory and the collectors are evil etc etc etc . woe is me I don't owe anyone . Then have no clue how the law works and just don't show up to court then try the woe is me again .
In my state some judges will bend over backwards for Pro-Se's and if the defendent says anything remotely relevant he would get a trial. As to lawyers losing their "license". I've seen it a few times and it gets ugly for their clients. In one case, a woman lost custody of her children when her attorney, who became addicted to drugs, was kicked out of court for being late stoned and drunk. And in another case, the attorney spent his client's escrow money on his personal financial problems. Attorneys are humans, and they make mistakes and when they screw up, their clients pay for it.
@@jbrimble1957 I suppose I agree. But who would have thought that an attorney who defended mainly drug dealers would eventually become a junky himself? Sadly he had a very competent staff and junior partner, that carried him way too long.
For lying to a Judge, forging a client's signature and misappropriating $25,000 of a client's $$ who was an undocumented/illegal immigrant. So.... Yeah.
The Minnesota Supreme Court on Wednesday banned veteran Twin Cities attorney Michael B. Padden from practicing law in the state after an investigation found a lengthy pattern of misconduct. The court initially suspended Padden in late 2023 after some of his former clients filed complaints with the the Minnesota Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility. Richard C. Perkins, a retired judge hired by the court to investigate Padden, found that among other infractions, the attorney had forged a client's signature on a fee contract in a criminal case and pocketed $25,000. In another case, Padden urged a client to skip a sentencing hearing in Wisconsin, and the defendant wound up with a much harsher sentence than he would have otherwise received. According to documents filed in the disbarment proceedings, Padden testified at a hearing in May that he suffers from depression and PTSD, but the court said it could not consider his mental health as a mitigating factor without additional proof. Padden told MPR News previously that he’s been the victim of a “witch hunt” by state regulators.
It probably depends on the context and type of transaction, but there certainly are things that require "wet signatures"... i.e. signed by hand, as opposed to digital signatures. I have done a few transactions in which there was a (figurative) stack of documents to sign via e-sign, and a few that I had to print, sign, scan and return. A scan, fax or photocopy was acceptable and still considered to be a "wet signature" as long as the original was signed. I'm not implying Judge Middleton is wrong as relates to the specific kinds of paperwork involved in that case. Also, the term "wet signature" is jargon, not a legal term, so he's right that way, too.
I am a former attorney working in a position where oftentimes I come across people who just need a little direction (from a legal perspective) to make their lives a whole lot easier. But my position doesn’t allow me to give even simple legal advice. So I am just brutally honest with people and tell them, “Look, I am not allowed to give you legal advice.

He was disbarred for misappropriation and mismanagement of funds from a client the amount was 25,000

"That's not a thing." Said the Judge so calmly.
Padden forged signatures, and he urged a client not to show up for sentencing. The guy got a harsher sentence because he didn't show up.

Look up the drunkest counties in the US, and Wisconsin has about 40 of the top 50.
That lawyer is a legend, he got an amazing outcome without even showing up.

OMG! The first wise choice in a court! It was cathartic
This judge is such an intelligent passive guy. Probably puts the Grateful Dead on his turntable every night he gets home! Love em!

The court initially suspended Padden in late 2023 after some of his former clients filed complaints with the the Minnesota Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility.
Richard C. Perkins, a retired judge hired by the court to investigate Padden, found that among other infractions, the attorney had forged a client's signature on a fee contract in a criminal case and pocketed $25,000.
In another case, Padden urged a client to skip a sentencing hearing in Wisconsin, and the defendant wound up with a much harsher sentence than he would have otherwise received.
According to documents filed in the disbarment proceedings, Padden testified at a hearing in May that he suffers from depression and PTSD, but the court said it could not consider his mental health as a mitigating factor without additional proof.
Padden told MPR News previously that he’s been the victim of a “witch hunt” by state regulators.

@@LoisMillar yeah she is not getting her money back, there is going to a long line of people waiting for this guy to pay.
It probably depends on the context and type of transaction, but there certainly are things that require "wet signatures"... i.e. signed by hand, as opposed to digital signatures.
I have done a few transactions in which there was a (figurative) stack of documents to sign via e-sign, and a few that I had to print, sign, scan and return. A scan, fax or photocopy was acceptable and still considered to be a "wet signature" as long as the original was signed.
I'm not implying Judge Middleton is wrong as relates to the specific kinds of paperwork involved in that case. Also, the term "wet signature" is jargon, not a legal term, so he's right that way, too.
Well, I just had to resubscribe to the channel, yt at it again
I wonder what he did! 😮
