Quote HistoryQuoted: So the adjuster says "Go ahead and file a motion to dismiss, but don't do anything else. Oh, and don't bill for reading the order unless you clear it with me first." So I ups and says "Kiss my ass, you wretched skinflint," which apparently sounds like "You got it, boss. On it right now." Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Same. I've been looking for a forum where I can thrill people with insurance defense stories. So the adjuster says "Go ahead and file a motion to dismiss, but don't do anything else. Oh, and don't bill for reading the order unless you clear it with me first." So I ups and says "Kiss my ass, you wretched skinflint," which apparently sounds like "You got it, boss. On it right now." I was at a firm where a partner won a defense victory for some trucking company, the next day the insurance company called him and said "thanks for the win. By the way, we're instituting a policy of cutting all legal bills by 20%. We just assume you filthy lawyers are padding your bills by 20%." They changed their policy after he pointed out they would be paying lots of expensive judgments because he and the other defense lawyers would simply start giving only an 80% effort. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Lol I've done that before. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Absolutely in. In a trial as we speak The last case I tried, I had been listening to rush limbaugh at lunch.... so i pull my phone out of my pocket to check something, possibly email, i don't remember, and the damn rush app starts playing on its own, really loudly. I couldn't get it turned off.  At least my client smiled approvingly.

Apologies for hastening your demise.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I did that when I started out. It was great experience but they were just starting to really fight over billing. The pay was terrible anyway. Lots of flat fee stuff or $ 85 an hour , course this was decades ago. I did exactly one, and it began with instructions as previously quoted. I was in triple digits for 1st Chair jury trial experience & a lot more than that for hearings on complex motions. Academic cred ++. Just left a premiere RR defense firm. The hourly rate? $125. Granted, that was 20+ years ago, but holy crap! Little did the guy know that due to my inability to keep accurate time and my missing "love of money" gene, I'd have ended up giving him the full ride for about 25% of my actual time. Interesting case, though. 4 teenage boys were running South on US 301 (unlighted secondary road) at about 80 mph in a 45 with their headlights off when the lead goof drove their convertible under a left-turning diesel rig's trailer, which was properly marked. Regs at the time didn't require lights on the sides of trailers, just reflective tape. Trooper gave me a pithy description of the scene during a meeting we had: "Bowling balls. Bowling balls of varying sizes and hues. Two in the back floorboard of the convertible, and two on the ground under the trailer." |

Put me down for such a sub-forum.
It would be a refreshing change for someone to actually listen to my legal advice instead of ignoring it and then coming back for more later when their actions didn't go as expected. Of course they pay me both times so I've gotten used to it. |

Quoted: I'd like to propose a nonpublic lawyer subforum for team members. This would be similar to the various listservs where attorneys with aligned interests often share briefs, brainstorm, and help each other out. It could be managed by Spartacus or the Penguin, with admission granted upon showing a bar card or JD. I'd like to propose forum lawyers get their own flair. Everyone else has one |
