In my divorce, my ex-wife got my ebay and amazon accounts as they had hundreds of positive feedback and no negatives.

As this was 2004, both her and my attorneys thought that was the stupidest thing ever.

I was once hired to negotiate the breakup of a boyfriend and girlfriend in their 40s, including the return of her copy of Kama Sutra and her various S&M sextoys.  True story.

How do you establish the value of used sex toys?

My law partner is an older non-tech savy attorney and doesn't know how to scan documents so sometimes after hours he needs me to scan things... then he has me email them to him so he can forward them on to someone.

Once time he gave me a stipulation to scan so he could send it to his client.  As it didn't look like our format, I asked him where he got it. He said it was sent by opposing counsel. I asked sent how? He said email. Turns out he printed it to read it then wanted me to rescan it and looked totally shocked when I suggested her forward it from the opposing counsel's email.

What if I get hurt, it is my fault, but I claim it isn't? Can I still give you a call?

I think what he is saying is if it is your fault, don't mention that.

I always entered my time as I go, using software stopwatches so I accurately capture ALL of my time.  Studies have shown that if attorneys enter their time using the " it's Friday, I gotta record my time, so how long did I spend on that motion last Monday...." method, then they tend to under-record their time -- and then they wonder how they spent 60 hours at the office and only billed 35.

As a guy who does all of his edits in track changes (or with a redline prepared after), I can't wait until I never have to see a hand markup with chicken scratch handwriting ever again.
