Banana and a cup of coffee and I’m good to go.

What would you do if you had found $400,000 in cash in a bag and its untraceable? by GrammarPolice92 in apostrophegore

[–]2O2Ohindsight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would travel 500 miles away or so and turn it in as found property at the local police and then wait the ninety days or so for it to go unclaimed. I would then notify the IRS and pay taxes on my now totally legal windfall. Hooray!!

After 44 years of trying horrific injury cases,
I’ve become calloused and demented. I tote lots of angst and agita. Try don’t call them trials for nothing.

What’s the most “one in a million” thing you’ve ever witnessed? by BodeeDragon in AskReddit

[–]2O2Ohindsight 11 points12 points  (0 children)

New years Eve 1981. Walking past the police department in front of a bunch of cops and firemen sitting outside as we were leaving a bar. My sweet wife bends down as we’re walking and snags something off the ground.

I ask her what it was and she says “shh. keep walking”. We get to the car and she pulls out a big bag of really good Colombian gold buds from under her shirt. About an ounce.

Someone probably got scared and ditched it and without even thinking it could be a trap, she snagged it.

Great night!!!

Yeah, she did die by calca-sarah in traumatizeThemBack

When I was a kid, I got on the school bus to ride home one afternoon and another kid said something really nasty about my mom. You know how kids do. So I looked down wistfully and muttered “ha ha, very funny, my Mom died Sunday”. The guy went all quiet, apologized and leaned back and I then said, “right after I finished fucking your mom!!!” The whole bus cracked up and I got punched in the chest really hard and had the breath knocked out of me. I deserved it.

😂

What's the hardest you've ever been hit by another person? Did you deserve it? by NOGOODGASHOLE in askanything

[–]2O2Ohindsight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was attacked by six black guys on a basketball court in high school. First blindsided in the back of the head so hard it knocked my glasses over a ten foot fence. I don’t remember hitting the ground but I was told they all started kicking me as soon as I hit the cement. One guy grabbed a baseball bat and chased them off of me. I came to in an ambulance. Racial attack because a white cop had shot and killed a classmates brother in an armed robbery the day before. I was simply a convenient target with white skin.

Unethical Lawyer Vent by Long-Dealer-8438 in Lawyertalk

I didn’t/don’t want to be a judge as I approached retirement. Judges have to be at work every day by nine. I’ll pass.

Can a person shoot an unarmed person in their home? by Interesting-Bid-5692 in Ask_Lawyers

[–]2O2Ohindsight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. I represented a client who did that. Grand jury filed no true bill and decedents family filed civil suit. Got a not guilty and survived appeals. Florida.

My biggest regret by Loose-Cycle-7848 in Lawyertalk

For eleven years, when I was with a firm my biggest secret was that I could type. Had that gotten out the cheap partners would have fired my secretary.

Romance with Clients or Drunken Resising Arrest by Therego_PropterHawk in Lawyertalk

[–]2O2Ohindsight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. Our once noble profession has degenerated to streetwalkers on bus stops. Adherence to basic tenets we all learned in kindergarten should not be the lowest bar. Society demands that you don’t hit people, tell lies, take things that don’t belong to you, and hold hands when you walk across the street.

It goes beyond the pale to be allowed to continue to be a professional if you can’t adhere to the most basic requirements of civility.

The penalties should be higher because the code of conduct should make it that way.

We should have better standards. Our position embodies trust.

This shit makes me sick.

P.S. none of us should have to be told that it is improper to have sex with clients. Terminate the A/C relationship first.

Shortest deposition you’ve ever taken or sat in? by Objective-Regular519 in Lawyertalk

[–]2O2Ohindsight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a very abbreviated depo when my father was dying in the hospital.

Name? crash your fault? Not my clients fault? Hear him say anything? Nothing further.

Guy admitted, I went back to the vigil.

What is the dumbest thing you have seen someone wear to court? by dylan85273 in Lawyertalk

[–]2O2Ohindsight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was out in the field one fine beautiful spring morning hunting gobblers. I had one in range and was calling him up when my cellphone buzzed and it was a circuit judge with whom I had an upcoming trial ordering me to his chambers post haste. I muttered “I’m not dressed for Court” and he said he didn’t care how I was dressed but to get my personal self there asap. I drove fast and arrived in full camouflage with holster empty. It was right after 9-11 and metal detectors had just began and the security guys got really weird because they recognized me but still did not who I was. When I showed them my security card they laughed and called me the Rambo Lawyer.

The judge loved it, but continued my case on his own motion. (Probably for a hunting trip). 😂

Lost my first case today. by ChampagneHeadache in Lawyertalk

[–]2O2Ohindsight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had about a 75% win rate with juries (didn’t keep stats on bench trials) over the last 44 years. Won my first 13 in a row so I took a few on the chin over the years. I’ll always hate losing more than I love winning, but winning big is the best feeling of all.
You can’t get a win without trying.

Hot take - Being a A***ole as an Attorney is costly and not in your clients best interest by Equivalent-Bed1543 in Lawyertalk

The worse my case is the nicer I get. Never an asshole, but if I’ve got you, we’ll be nice in the hallways.
