 Part 1


One weekend, You and your Family were on your way to visit your wife’s ailing relative who had surgery at Cedar Sinai Hospital in the west side of town in Los Angeles. You were heading North on the 101 FWY.  As you exited on Melrose Ave, you turned left. While you were at the intersection of Melrose and Rossmore Ave awaiting for a green arrow to make a left turn, out of nowhere it seems, you suddenly see out of the corner of your eye, a late model black Rolls Royce Corniche, doing 65 mph,in a 35mph zone, and runs the red light, and crashes into your vehicle as you were trying to clear the intersection. You had the right of way.

LOUSY, LAZY & ARROGANT LAWYERS ARE CONTROL FREAKS

"YOU BETTER NOT SHOW UP IN COURT SHOWING YOUR BOOBS"

Here is what an unnamed  LOUSY, LAZY  & ARROGANT  Jerk of a lawyer In the CHICAGO area, probably tells his good  Female clients before going to court or accompanying them to a deposition... UNBELIEVABLE...! what a JERK !!

“Dress Appropriately”

“When your lawyer tells you to come to court or to a deposition - dress up for God's sake. When I see people at the courthouse looking like they are on their way to a nightclub, I know that they are a) low-class; b) going to lose their case; and c) their ego got in the way. 

If I can see your boobs, so can the judge.

OPTION # 1. DO NOTHING:

"I'LL JUST WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS"

 

This option is NOT recommended unless your LOUSY, LAZY & ARROGANT lawyer has become aware of the problem and has began to fix it to your satisfaction.

The publishers of this post are NOT lawyers and strongly urge its readers to consult with a reputable legal professional or to contact the State Bar Association for a proper referral) 

 

OPTION # 2. GET YOUR LOUSY, LAZY & ARROGANT LAWYER TO FIX HIS PROBLEM WITH YOU DIRECTLY.

"I AM SORRY I CHEATED YOU, I'LL MAKE IT UP "

Try writing him/her a CERTIFIED letter explaining your situation, and why you feel he screwed up and how you want him to solve the problem. Try setting a specific time frame for a solution to take place. Ie “please respond to the above request within 5-7 days from your receipt ...”  At this point do not threaten him or her, with any retaliatory action but be firm in your stance. Use words like “ I’d like to resolve this matter on an amicable basis..” Also request that any response to your letter be in writing. If all you get is a phone call by either him/her or by someone within his office, send him/her a confirming letter/email memorializing the phone call and what the agreement and your understanding of the conversation or gist of the discussion was.

OPTION # 3. SUE your LOUSY, LAZY & ARROGANT lawyer in court only.

SUE HIS A$$ FOR MONEY !!

 

 You want action and can’t take your LOUSY, LAZY & ARROGANT lawyer’s abuse and lies anymore. So you decide to SUE his ass in court. 

 

This option requires immediate action, as it could include issues of time limits for filing a claim. This is known as “the Statute of limitations” It means you need to file your claim before a certain period of time expires.  Thus it is imperative that you hire a competent and experienced legal professional to advice you on this issue.

OPTION # 4. REPORT HIM TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE BAR and other Agencies.

"HELLO  STATE BAR ?? I'D LIKE TO REPORT MY LAWYER"

 

Every human being is capable of error: house painters, schoolteachers, doctors and even lawyers. When those mistakes are made in the course of their professional work, however, there needs to be some accountability to the client and to the public at large.  A licensed attorney in California, is bound by the Rules Of Professional Conduct, and must adhere to follow such rules.

The California State Bar is sort of like the Police agency which licenses and punishes lawyers when they screw up. They serve as an arm of the California Supreme Court. This is done through their State Bar’s discipline system and through The Office of the Chief Trial Counsel who actually prosecutes attorney misconduct.

OPTION # 5. SUE and REPORT your LOUSY, LAZY & ARROGANT lawyer.

"MALPRACTICE LAWSUIT"

In this option,  notice the order of action required. First you SUE your LOUSY, LAZY & ARROGANT lawyer by following the instructions in 3 above...

 

 

 

"HELLO STATE BAR..."

 THEN you also REPORT your LOUSY, LAZY & ARROGANT lawyer after that. WHY do we recommend this pattern. Because once you retain your NEW attorney, to kick your LOUSY, LAZY & ARROGANT lawyer’s butt (legally speaking of course ) he could assist you in the filing and wording of your complaint to the Bar. Again try to follow the instructions when you hire new counsel. DO NOT BE DECEIVED once again. Keep close tabs on your new attorney and explain to him/her your lack of trust in the legal system as a result of your loss. We are sure he or she will understand your predicament.
