You know, those bottom-tier attorneys that practice out of their bedrooms don’t have any support staff, so they often tend to be less than precise about billing. Frequently, you don’t even have to go to court to get your money back when your attorney fails to deliver; instead, file a complaint with a local bar association…and you’d be shocked as to how quickly your attorney, suddenly, would get in touch with you!
@@nondescriptnyc Yeah, the first part of what you said is a generalization that is not true. Attorneys with staff are just as likely to have fucked up billing as those who practice independently and practicing independently does not at ALL make one a “bottom-tier attorney.” But, again, y’all have to make up whatever you can to feel better that y’all will never be on our level.
@@ct6410 You may have overanalyzed what I said, primarily because you couldn’t see my comment clearly with that HUGE chip on your shoulder. I literally meant practicing out of their bedrooms-and that was not meant to be figurative to refer to all attorneys in (independent) private practice. Usually, these bedroom attorneys attended bottom-tier law schools, barely passed the bar, and they lack the basic professional skills, so all they can handle are real estate transactions and personal injury cases. There are plenty of attorneys in private practice that are successful, both professionally and financially. But, usually, there is a reason when attorneys practice out of their bedrooms w/o support staff. They simply aren’t good at what they do. [Also, when larger firms mess up billing, it is usually not a result of poor bookkeeping but, instead, questionable billing practice.]
I don't think you have to be 'brave' to sue a lawyer (or anyone for that matter.) You have to just honestly know that you're right, you've been wronged and you want that corrected. That's justice.
This attorney has a portrait on his wall. It is eye catching and intriguing - I noticed it too. But when asked, he admits he lies and tells people it's Thomas Edison because he doesn't know who it is, he's not getting off to a good start by being dishonest. Besides, why would you have such an ambiguous item decorating your law office?
You’re just pathetic. All of you are so jealous of us you can’t stand it. Like we care about your opinions on our offices or our obvious jokes that you twist into being “lies.” Again, just pathetic.
@@foreverever9001 Well, it would matter to me because if the attorney has a random , unknown item decorating his office which represents him and will give me a first impression, I'm apprehensive. If he can LIE so casually and nonchalantly about it, as he does in the video, I'm very apprehensive. It makes me wonder if he would LIE so casually while representing me. Being a person raised in a family were I was taught to tell the truth and that LYING is wrong because it's dishonest so don't do it, that is definitely not a person I would want to be associated with or, for that matter, have anything to do with and I definitely would not want that person to represent me in a court of law which is a venue where you don't want your attorney to LIE, but to be truthful. That is why this MATTERS.
As a paralegal this was hilariously frustrating. There’s so much that goes in the background of every lawsuit. So many emails, unanswered phone calls, waiting for the court (especially in this COVID time). I’m glad my attorney keeps his clients in the loops. But still so many people complain
I feel that she starts using bigger words to make them feel and know that she’s smarter when it comes to the law lol. Once in awhile she’ll educate them on what they need to know but most of the time it’s like she puts them down lol
@@branz2002 I think Judge Milian may hold attorneys who become litigants in her courtroom to a higher standard. She expects more from them because they are trained professionals, like herself, and if they don't meet her expectations as such, she may express her disappointment with their shortcomings.
The defendant is a slum lawyer. He keep stringing along the plantiff just to run up a huge bill. The worst thing after not contacting the plantif periodically as he should've done to keep him updated.
As a law student and a paralegal, this case really frustrated me. Lawyers do play phone tag with one another and it’s believable that the people the defendant was contacting weren’t being responsive and the defendant wasn’t following up as diligently as he should. It doesn’t shock me that the defendant wasn’t keeping the plaintiff in the loop because lawyers aren’t trained to manage their practice properly. That’s why having a support staff is so important.
WELL PERHAPS Y'ALL SHOULDN'T ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO OTHER FOLKS MONEY OUR EXPENSES SO GET Y'ALLS BS TOGETHER.....I BET IF IT WAS WRITEN THAT WHEN Y'ALL PLAY PHONE ASSSSS TAG YOU WON'T GET PD FOR DEAD TIME IT'LL SPEED UP
@@msfranklin2650 First of all, calm down. Second, the majority of attorneys work very hard on their client’s behalf. There are actually consequences they could face if they don’t. Third being lawyer is a tough job and there are lot of pieces involved in each case. You’re always working on something even that will help your client even if the client doesn’t see it as significant. Most lawyers aren’t just sitting on your retainers doing nothing. If you have an issue with a lawyer I suggest you take it up with them directly instead of trashing everyone who works in the profession.
Bullfrog! I worked in an Attorney's office. Besides typing and filing my big job was doing the time sheets. We kept meticulous records of all the hours and the files were marked with what the Attorney did. Later on when I worked in Insurance the same procedure was followed. This creepy lawyer shouldn't have gotten so much. Don't hire him
This plaintiff sounds like a professional litigant. He sues people at the drop off a hat. At $350 an hour, that retainer burned up quickly. Lawyers, like psychiatrists and hookers, don't prorate. If they spend 20 minutes working for you, they charge an hour.
The Lawyer should have explained that law suites are rarely settled in weeks. It is very normal for it to take years for a settlement. Often the two lawyers are waiting each other out seeing who wants to settle first, it is part of the normal negotiation that is a law suite. I know of two people who we're involved in law suites and Canada and they waited over a year for a settlement. Also a client who represents himself has a fool for a lawyer.
During the beginning of this episode the defendant/attorney looks loaded and half asleep, and I found it so disrespectful to the judge and Plaintiff. In my opinion, the defendant did just lead the Plaintiff on, did nothing, refused adequate communication, even if it was from a legal secretary, a paralegal, or receptionist…I don’t think it would have mattered to the plaintiff, as long as he saw forward movement and that his money was going torwards something productive re: his complaint; however, the attorney wanted to keep the retainer, and not do shit. He would be better off surrendering his license to practice law and just settle down early at his local retirement home 🤦♀️.
Sweetie, most of us work crazy hours-often until 2 and 3 in the morning-trying to do our best for our clients. We’ll look however we need to without regard to the thoughts of people like you who could never do what we do.
@@ct6410 Hi, “Sweetie,” my mother is a intellectual properties attorney. I’m an Army combat Veteran, who was in medical school when 9/11 happened and left UCLA to enlist; serving for over 10 years and 4 deployments in the Iraq and Afghanistan. Please don’t try to “school” me on being tired, working long hours, and looks of indifference. Are you seriously that tone deaf, you think you are God’s gift to humankind 😂? You’re for sure, barking up the wrong tree. Okay? Thanks!
Water Slide Tester!!! My husband worked at a water slide park. Bill and Ted's excellent adventure filmed there and my husband had to make sure it was clean. Tough job for a teenage boy. Go down the slide over and over again with a towel to scrub the sides.
Oooh I love when there’s a lawyer on because they never seemed to be prepared. I’ve seen regular people have more evidence and be more prepared than lawyers 😅
Yep. this has happened to me as well on two occasions and I knew that the lawyers had done some work and no one works for free, but I had to bug the living crap out of them to get the remainder of my money back.
anyone who has won a lawsuit would probably give a glowing review to their lawyer. The cost of lawyers probably really influences people’s opinions. They’re incredibly expensive but that’s just how it is- can’t change that.
WHAT? So in only awarding the plaintiff a third of what he was asking, is like saying the attorney did 2/3 of the work, yet he didn't do more than write a letter and certainly not 6 hours of work, sometimes the judge is unfair...
This comment sounds like it’s coming from someone who has never done a video call. I wouldn’t read into where people are looking so much. When on a video call, most people will be looking at the person they are talking to on the screen which will be BELOW the camera. If they are making eye contact with the camera then they actually are not looking at you. They are looking into the lens of the webcam. If you’re on tv like this or doing a virtual training in the workplace, I would probably make a point to look directly into the camera so attendees feel engaged - but most people don’t think about that.
@@sweet2sunshine - nice theory, but if you look at the leadins for both parties, they both look directly into the screen. And, as one who has set up cameras for interviews, you can also tell by the elevation of the head. If what you state is what was happening (responder looking at his screen and not the camera), then his head would be tilted down. You’re stating that his face/head were pointed at the camera and his eyes were pointed at the screen. I suppose someone may do that, but I’ve never seen that. Unless, the person is looking down at a reference item (book, notes, etc.), their face is parallel to the camera. He didn’t appear to be looking at notes.
Man. I feel bad for the plaintiff. His divorce attorney sucked (gee wonder why his wife wanted out), his contractor screwed him (defendant read from the lawyer for that defendent) the plaintiff didn't want to settle and just does lawsuits, and then this case. If everyday you find yourself surrounded by a-holes. You might want to sniff yourself.
In a previous episode after the court case the judge told us that she had wanted to be a therapist she would have been a bad one, she doesn't listen, she doesn't let people talk and she is always shouting at people, even the innocent and victimised people...
@@David-cc8xe Huh? This person is referencing something JM said in a previous post-case recording. It kind of seems like you're crying- and confused. lmao
Yeah a judge and a therapist are two mutually exclusive jobs- you definitely couldn’t be good at both of them. Therapists do the opposite of what a judge does - they DONT JUDGE 🤦🏼♂️
If a construction contractor does the work but screws it up, they don't get part of their money. If someone else has to come in and rip up everything and redo, they might even have to pay in. For some reason JM does not apply the law to lawyers in this manner. The lawyer did some work but then ignored the client, thus making his work to date void. Now the plaintiff has to start over with a new lawyer. Seems like the plaintiff should get all his money back.

AND a don’t give a 💩 attitude! the defendant’s facial expressions say SO MUCH! about him!

I admire people who are brave enough to sue lawyers. They have to be kept honest and know they can't get away with whatever they want.

Yes, he's rather ignorant and very unprofessional. It's attorneys like him that give the law profession a bad name. (But, obviously, he doesn't care.)

Obviously this nut has too much time on his hands. 🙄

Yes he sounds like an insufferable person to deal with.
