Worst George Assad ( lavegas muni court dept 3) remand story. The other day I was in lvmc3 waiting for my case to be called and I watched Assad remand a person for contempt based on his illegal status (mexican). Assad said the man was comitting contempt in his court by being there becouse he is illegal. I could not believe it! I guess if you are illegal you can go to court to excerise your constuitional right to have a trial without fear of being placed in custody.
9:00- that is bizarre. I was just stewing over the fact that Assad's chambers is closed on Fridays. Is the City of Las Vegas closed on Fridays like Henderson? I really don't know.
If not, why do the Judge's secretary, clerk, etc. get Friday's off from dealing with the public when that is their JOB?
Pat Murphy was a good man and a very good lawyer, mediator, arbitrator and special master. He was NTLA President when I was admitted and helped me to be come a better lawyer. He will be missed in this community.
For Ramzy- Forget about those who relish you being fired. Don't worry about being a new attorney. If you are out on your own, the only thing that matters at the end of the day is how well you treat your clients and family. And when you go to court, kick butt by being knowledgeable and polite, it makes the others lose their mind. Good Luck!!
That is indeed sad news about Pat. I worked with him as a baby attorney and learned a ton of things including client management skills, how to "cowboy up" as a litigator, and more off-color humor than I can even mention. He will be missed.
I also had the opportunity to work with Pat when I was a young attorney. He was smart, always knew exactly what to do, and was one of the funniest men I have ever met. What a great loss to us all.
I had a case against Pat when I was a newly admitted. He really challenged me and I learned more from him on that one case than I ever did from the partner I worked with. Although I never would have said it then, I'll say it now: He made me a better attorney. He wsa a great guy. RIP Pat. You will be missed.
Pat was an old-school plaintiff's attorney. He would never try and stack the deck the way some of the current batch does. He got good verdicts and settlements by fighting hard and ethically and by knowing his cases better that his opponents knew them. And he treated his clients fairly.
As an arbitrator or mediator, Pat would learn each case and know it as well as the litigating attorneys. In many mediations with him, I never saw him attempt to force a bad deal down anyone's throat. And I never saw him show undue favoritism to any party or attorney as an arbitrator.
For every one of us who practices in the area of personal injury, construction defect, or insurance law, this is a huge loss.
I enjoyed every case I worked on or against with Pat. He made being an adversary fun. Thanks for showing so many of us how good the practice of law can be when done right Mr. Patrick Murphy.
One of the first things that Pat ever told me was that if I really wanted to enhance my enjoyment of a particular amorous act, I should have the woman hold ice cubes and creme de menthe in her mouth while doing so. He was insistent that she put the ice cubes in her mouth first, and then the creme de menthe. Pretty funny, frat-house type humor.
Now, flash forward at least ten years... I see Pat at the RJC and we schmooze for a minute and as I'm walking away, he says to me "Just remember... First, the ice cubes, THEN the creme de menthe..." He knew I'd remember and it cracked me up. Great stuff!
IN rE: Richard Harris -- a former client went bat shit cray cray.. they had to contact the authorities.. former client placed on stretcher.. thats all i got so far....
With all due respect to 4:28, the best line is "upon being refused the opportunity to lick the females' rear ends, the same attorney then offered money in exchange for a kiss."
I only know Pat from being defense counsel on a pretty sucky PI case he took a few years back. I'm not sure why he took the case in the first place, but I'm sure there is a story.
I've always remembered him because he was so nice and funny until I came to a settlement conference with minimal settlement authority. He went off on me! It was like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (with a bum knee)! He knew the case sucked though because we settled a few months later for very little. Although he had a crappy case, I remember how he conducted himself - congenial to opposing counsel, zealous in his advocacy, and truthful when it came time to throw in the towel. I wish more attorneys conducted themselves like Pat did.
I've had several cases with Pat over the years. When I was a newbie he treated me with respect (even though I didn't deserve it) which earned my undying gratitude.
Since then, he's just been a good and decent person to have in my life. Quick with a story, always made me laugh, fought hard for his clients. They knew (because he told them) that just because he was nice didn't mean he was weak and his results backed him up. He's probably the only lawyer in town who I could make a deal with and not need to follow with a confirming letter. With Pat a deal was a deal whether it be a few extra days to respond to interrogatories or a settlement.
My last case with him, things did not go my way, discovery-wise. He had me by the proverbial short hairs and he knew it but he didn't gloat or trump up his client's damages claim to take advantage. That was just how he was.
Pat played fair and was successful doing so. He was the person we should all want to grow up to be. Perhaps we can honor his memory by not being a jerk to the other side just because or blaming our client when refusing professional courtesies.
I understand that Sal Gugino is organizing a memorial, details TBA. One can only hope a kick-ass wake will follow.
Love George Assad. Being an illegal immigrant is contemptuous period. Law abiding people shouldn't stand for it. Glad he's doing whatever the hell he wants. I think its great. Cheers.
How does it feel to get screwed? Ha Ha. Too bad there's no trailer park grant to put your white trash ass through law school. Then you could play with the big boys instead of being played by them.
8:22. I am not a dead beat, but you are an asshole. Also, I am a happy current client . . . of a ninja assassin. Whom I have paid, on time, to wait in the backseat of your car so that he can garrot you on your way to work tomorrow. Thank you for your time.
Trust me, this piece has a point, it’s just going to take me a while to get there.
It begins with another set of lies told by LVMPD Deputy Chief James Dixon to the RJ’s Francis McCabe about Paris Hilton’s special treatment by Metro’s jail staff. After my piece and others and after the loud hackles from the bail bondsman community, Dixon came out and attempted to fix his previous whoppers regarding her arrest.
Yes, Dixon’s is the jail’s Deputy Chief, but he doesn’t ‘run’ the jail as McCabe wrote, he has a bunch of ‘Captains’ and other underlings that are supposed to do that…more on that in a minute.
LVMPD Deputy Chief James Dixon doesn’t do a damn thing all day long these days at more than $175,000 in annual salary!
For now, just file that the root word of DC Dixon’s name is ‘Dix’…or ‘dicks’ to those working at the jail. He is one of Metro’s chuckleheads who at one time was a pretty good cop that got entangled in the bullshit of ‘The Tower’ and is now one of their lackeys.
And trust that you would have never read his name in the paper had Sheriff Doug Gillespie and his team of hyper- paranoid, drug-addled minions not gone into emergency cover-up mode when they got word of Paris Hilton’s arrest.
The first to answer to the press publicly was the ‘Watch Commander’ Lt who was on duty that night—Lt Wayne Holman—who is not on my radar yet, which is a good thing. WC is a great little perq for the Lts and around the clock, there is always an LVMPD Lt assigned in rotation to be the WC. He or she is in charge and is ranking officer should something major occur before higher brass can respond.
@DFC My guess is the hooker paid for one case and just kinda hoped her attorney would be a chump and handle the other ten cases for free. When he refused to be a chump, she bad mouths him on this blog. How's that advertisement in the back of City Life working out for ya honey?
Bet the hooker thought the services she provided to him were payment for the other cases. Sadly, her skills were substandard and worth much less than his..
Hookers make the best clients fools; they are always getting cited and arrested and they always pay in CASH... Unless you're like some of the dirtier-dbag attorneys who get paid "in kind". Knowing Craig's office, she just fell through the cracks, Craig does a shit ton of business and sometimes he forgets a ho.

State Bar of Nevada reviewing grievance against Righthaven CEO
By Steve Green Las Vegas Sun
Monday, Sept. 13, 2010 | 5:42 p.m.
The Nevada agency that regulates attorneys is looking into a grievance filed against the chief executive officer of Righthaven LLC, the Las Vegas copyright enforcement company that has sued at least 124 individuals and companies in North America since March over unauthorized online postings of Las Vegas Review-Journal stories.
The nature of the grievance hasn’t been disclosed except that someone filed it with the State Bar of Nevada against Righthaven CEO Steven Gibson, a Las Vegas attorney, and that it is related to Righthaven.
The State Bar calls complaints filed against attorneys by citizens or clients "grievances" so they’re not confused with "complaints" the State Bar may file against lawyers.
The grievance under investigation could relate to any number of allegations defense attorneys have made against Righthaven and its procedures — which are unusual for the newspaper industry — of detecting online infringements of Review-Journal material, obtaining copyrights to the infringed material and then suing over the retroactive infringements.
The allegations include suggestions Righthaven is a shakedown operation that hits bloggers, website operators, companies and nonprofits with frivolous lawsuits demanding $75,000 or $150,000 in damages and forfeiture of their domain names — but then quickly offers to settle, knowing costs to hire attorneys to fight the lawsuits are much higher than the proposed settlement amounts of a few thousand dollars.
Influential Righthaven foe the Electronic Frontier Foundation, for instance, has charged Righthaven is "just the latest group of lawyers to try to turn copyright litigation into a business model."
"What these lawyers have in common is that they seek to take advantage of copyright's draconian damages in order to bully Internet users into forking over money," an EFF report this month said.
Some attorneys have complained Righthaven is engaged in "barratry" -- the persistent incitement of litigation or stirring up legal disputes to drive up legal fees — since in many if not most cases it sues before trying to resolve its issues with the defendants out of court. Others have accused Righthaven of "copyright misuse" and of coming to lawsuits with "unclean hands."
If I was you, I'd delete 12:47. Although the Sun is too poor to actually file prosecute a copyright suit, they might send you a nasty letter. Besides, there's no reason to have most of the article up here anyway.
Not content with being a carpetbagger (lives in N. Las Vegas, practices in CA, not admitted here), he previously sued LVAS whining about the "Ladies join free" promotion. Now he's whining that the San Gennaro Feast offered both a "Moms ride free" and a "Dads ride free" night. Apparently, the fact that the promos were on different nights ruffled his feathers and he filed a complaint with NERC.
This blog sucks. This is last Friday's open thread and we are almost up to this Friday's open thread. . . Lame! Here's the next thread since we discussed this a while back and the jackasses from Glen Lerner proclaimed their innocence and victomhood on this blog. Put this article up as a separate thread if you get time from you busy schedule (yeah right). Glen Lerner's Heavy Hitters
Lot of fights end with a broken orbital. Easy to break with a good shot to the nugget. Lucky the cops weren't there or didn't get into too much, cause I've had clients charged with battery substantial for that.
Since the blog has become so lame, let's all suggest topics. Talk amongst yourselves. Topic: The Holy Roman Empire -- it wasn't Holy, it wasn't Roman and it wasn't an Empire. Discuss.
3:52: I actually just paid cash for a procedure with an overnight at a hospital, so I'm familiar with that pain. Self employed, insurance refused coverage.
People say what they will about lawyers, but it is crazy to get billed $670 by one random doc (not your doc) because he WALKED IN AND READ YOUR CHART for 20 seconds and said, "So, you understand what this is?" "Yes." "Ok." and he leaves...
Well I hope nobody here is paying stokes anything. Let the commoners do that the rest of us shpuld work it out. Anyway my point was that, criminally, it is not that expensive to punch some one out.
Happy Friday everyone!
Troy Fox, kickstand bitches, stokes and holper, H&S, Boyd sucks.

State Bar of Nevada reviewing grievance against Righthaven CEO
ReplyDeleteBy Steve Green
Las Vegas Sun
Monday, Sept. 13, 2010 | 5:42 p.m.
The Nevada agency that regulates attorneys is looking into a grievance filed against the chief executive officer of Righthaven LLC, the Las Vegas copyright enforcement company that has sued at least 124 individuals and companies in North America since March over unauthorized online postings of Las Vegas Review-Journal stories.
The nature of the grievance hasn’t been disclosed except that someone filed it with the State Bar of Nevada against Righthaven CEO Steven Gibson, a Las Vegas attorney, and that it is related to Righthaven.
The State Bar calls complaints filed against attorneys by citizens or clients "grievances" so they’re not confused with "complaints" the State Bar may file against lawyers.
The grievance under investigation could relate to any number of allegations defense attorneys have made against Righthaven and its procedures — which are unusual for the newspaper industry — of detecting online infringements of Review-Journal material, obtaining copyrights to the infringed material and then suing over the retroactive infringements.
The allegations include suggestions Righthaven is a shakedown operation that hits bloggers, website operators, companies and nonprofits with frivolous lawsuits demanding $75,000 or $150,000 in damages and forfeiture of their domain names — but then quickly offers to settle, knowing costs to hire attorneys to fight the lawsuits are much higher than the proposed settlement amounts of a few thousand dollars.
Influential Righthaven foe the Electronic Frontier Foundation, for instance, has charged Righthaven is "just the latest group of lawyers to try to turn copyright litigation into a business model."

Others have accused Righthaven of "copyright misuse" and of coming to lawsuits with "unclean hands."

ReplyDeleteanyone want to give any helpful tips for those of us interviewing at the PDs over the next couple of weeks? pretty please??
ReplyDeleteOh and @ 10:24 - It made me chuckle
This blog sucks. This is last Friday's open thread and we are almost up to this Friday's open thread. . . Lame! Here's the next thread since we discussed this a while back and the jackasses from Glen Lerner proclaimed their innocence and victomhood on this blog. Put this article up as a separate thread if you get time from you busy schedule (yeah right). Glen Lerner's Heavy Hitters
ReplyDeleteSo Lerner's boys are truly a bunch of buttkissers
ReplyDeletePretty good hit by Lund if a single punch breaks the dude's face and causes tens of thousands in meds.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they'll accuse Walsh of intentional over-treatment like defendants do to plaintiffs?
Anyone ever gone to the hospital? It's billed at around 10k per night. Throw in a reconstructive surgery and you get there easily.
ReplyDeleteLot of fights end with a broken orbital. Easy to break with a good shot to the nugget. Lucky the cops weren't there or didn't get into too much, cause I've had clients charged with battery substantial for that.
ReplyDeleteThis blog is lazy! Why don't they just post a new open thread each week and we'll talk about whatever?
ReplyDeleteFeest.
ReplyDeleteSince the blog has become so lame, let's all suggest topics. Talk amongst yourselves. Topic: The Holy Roman Empire -- it wasn't Holy, it wasn't Roman and it wasn't an Empire. Discuss.
ReplyDelete3:52: I actually just paid cash for a procedure with an overnight at a hospital, so I'm familiar with that pain. Self employed, insurance refused coverage.
ReplyDeletePeople say what they will about lawyers, but it is crazy to get billed $670 by one random doc (not your doc) because he WALKED IN AND READ YOUR CHART for 20 seconds and said, "So, you understand what this is?" "Yes." "Ok." and he leaves...
-3:50
You should punch that doc without breaking his orbital
ReplyDeleteTicket for battery = $200 (usually)
Plus the class and fees
ReplyDeletePlus whatever Adam Stoked is charging you, so that you can pay *only* $200 for that ticket.
ReplyDeleteWell I hope nobody here is paying stokes anything. Let the commoners do that the rest of us shpuld work it out. Anyway my point was that, criminally, it is not that expensive to punch some one out.
ReplyDeleteEvery George Assad remand story is a triumph for the will of the people!!
