Actually doing it in corpus. Opening a satellite office there think it’ll end up being 15-20 boards there
I bought 361-ABOGADO. There is a girl up here who puts their face in an avocado and says avocados at law. I’m 10000% stealing that
Had a comp adjuster that refused to answer calls, emails, pleadings. I put on a state bar list serve for comp lawyers who the carrier was and what was going on and I needed a defense lawyer to call the carrier and get it moving. I had a tidal wave of defense lawyers that wanted to get involved. This turd adjuster probably got blown up. I think it is genius. Now have a lawyer straightening it out. The adjuster finally emailed (after said lawyer contacted her) and said she gets 100 emails a day and we need to fax , email, and call. We previously left her tons of voice mails. I might should have just set them up for bad faith but my guy needs treatment and I just wanted to get it moving.
Ended up with $159m in compensatories. $480m in punitives. Largest verdict in Texas this year. I felt the case had the makings for something special. But you never know if all the pieces will come together at trial. The pieces came together and we were blessed with an incredibly arrogant opposing counsel that added fuel to the fire.
Hell of a result! I watched some of it, and that defense lawyer was an absolute clown. Beyond the behavior, wearing Easter egg jackets with no socks and sneakers in a death case is preposterous.
I am going to refrain from commenting in a public forum but I will say a lot of people said something similar.
i watched a lot of it. it was clear that the defense was going to get hammered from day 1. congrats BUstang
As a defense attorney, this bill is dumb as shit and was mostly just an excuse to relieve premise owners of liability for foreseeable third party acts. In trying to legitimize it, they totally fucked up 9-11-12(j) and that’s got me steamed. Also, Bill Casey is a good dude.
Not real sure. I’m quarterbacking a tax project that requires proof of delivery of some documents by affidavit of service. Client-relationship partner (a litigator) lives in the city where delivery is required and won’t sign the affidavit. No real reason given other than “because.” I’m baffled and now making plans to spend 7 hours in the car Monday to do it myself because we’re up against a deadline.
Hire a process server. That’s routine in litigated cases when an opposing party will not waive service of summons.
Unless that 7 hour trip is all billable and you need to fill a day, you are being petty for no reason. #FuckBillableHours
Casey’s letter to the legislature was all accurate. In particular, it’s going to make life miserable for judges and staff attorneys trying to figure it all out and it’s going to overwhelm the Atlanta metropolitan courts, which are already overwhelmed.
We miraculously got a specially set trial for the first week of March. The first Judge PP has afforded anyone since pre-covus
I was told by a partner long ago to always hire a process server because in the event it's litigated and service of process becomes an issue, you've made yourself a fact witness that could potentially be deposed/questioned about precisely what you did.
In my situation, the affidavit of service proving delivery of a document (signed by the county) to a county revenuer is required by statute to be delivered to a state revenuer. I’m just checking boxes, and all that really matters is that it gets timely checked. No one is going to look into how the box was checked. Edit: Because we are simply checking boxes is all the more baffling as to why my colleague won’t sign the affidavit
About to land in Vegas. Hopefully this has worked itself out by Sunday or else I’ll be lining up a process server. I should never have asked, because ignorance of using a process server would given me ground to stand on for billing 7 hours of driving (a rarity in my world)
sent wes tegg and RJF-GUMP pictures of one of the billboards i have going up. will let them give you a review.
Nug: Here's the settlement accounting, you're walking with X. It's pretty good, you only have to pay back health insurance X Client: I feel like I shouldn't have to pay for any medical bills if the accident wasn't my fault Nug: it doesn't work like that. Someone rendered you medical care, they do deserve to be reimbursed. The settlement was based, in part, on the medical care you received Client: I just don't feel that's right. Do I have to pay them? Can you sue them?
