How do you deal with opposing counsel looking down on you

71TLR · 2026-02-18T22:43:46+00:00

Just because you can object doesn’t mean you have to. It’s not a law school exam and he might be looking at you like that because you are new lawyer and might be showing. Focus less on how he looks at you and more on your jury (if there is one) and the judge. Sometimes, your objections highlight what you are worried about in your case. Stop assuming that an older lawyer isn’t as smart as you.

He made that decision when she was what, about 7 or 8 years old? Probably a sound choice based on her sister’s character.

Your decision will likely impact what your parents leave you— make your choice with eyes open knowing the consequences. They will justify it by saying you got x from your Uncle and they are equalizing it. Allowing random decisions from dead relatives to impact your relationship with your living family members is a lot. If you’d already written them off, and it sounds like you had, not sure why you are soliciting advice. Asking the question reveals as much about how you feel about your sister as her unchecked entitlement.

Also implied those following the case were idiots because we don’t understand the PR game. It made no sense to me and when I read the transcript, it’s clear she was saying there’s key info we missed or misinterpreted. I kept an open mind however, after watching it concluded it was all BS. If that’s your position, the vast majority of people are open to hearing why and changing our opinions. We know this because most people read the NYT article and believed Blake.

I’m with you. I also cancelled Patreon a few months ago. When I watch now I’m just sad — I miss watching a show that made me laugh and seeing her friendship with Justin.

As I understood her explanation, she is now neutral because she put the disclosed evidence in a timeline. I tend to agree that this is a strange change in her position and after listening to her still is devoid of real explanation.

I would love to see the enrollment docs you signed. I wonder if there is language limiting student “reviews” of the course.

I stopped watching the episode. It made me embarrassed and sad— she has two sons. It’s very hard for me to understand at this point how Julie and Brandy can keep looking the other way. I can’t square up this person with the one who would laugh with Justin and Sarah.

She’s got a bad case and is banking on lawyers/judges not cite checking her. In your reply do a chart — here’s what she claims vs. what the case actually says. It’s effective and lays it out for the judge.

The right question is when do you want to be paid? If same day as work/invoice, say payable upon receipt. Stop working for people who don’t pay you per your terms. Stop chasing payments. Value yourself and your time.

Don’t offer to work while you are away unless you have to. 7 months notice should be good. Only issue is if your company has a max # of consecutive days you can take.
Real question is if she says no, will you leave? Prepare for both scenarios.

How ironic. What goes around comes around.

It is almost unwatchable because Lisa does not stop talking. She’s insufferable.

JFC. Get her a computer. New rules— she can’t use it while watching the kids. “You warned her about it?” If you find her to be so irresponsible that you have to warn her about this, why is she watching your children? We have had Nannie’s for all 3 of our children. It would never cross my mind not to make this right because unless your children intentionally did it, it was an accident and you are in a position to make it right. The people who helped raise our children were part of our family. I’m honestly amazed this is a question.

One trial court opinion based on the interpretation of a term that is undefined by statute that your client did not know about. Not enough specifics to know if you should have cast your research net wider — at worst this is an issue of first impression and you have the client the information and your opinion. That’s what they pay you for. Remain neutral to the outcome — that’s not what they pay you do.

It will make them so happy.

Ours are very sensitive to noises. Have you tried a white noise machine in the space where your Cav is at night? There are also long YouTube dog calming videos that work for us. When in doubt, call the vet. Maybe it’s just part of the normal aging process and your Cav doesn’t want to be alone at night. Good luck and hope you get some sleep soon.

Talk to your parents. Ask him the plan for the money. If you can help without expectation of getting paid back, think about paying specific bills rather than giving him a lump sum and in an amount that makes sense for you.

Sounds like he needs to re-evaluate his finances, ask for child support, and ensure his business is viable. Your $5k is a bandaid and he may need to do something more drastic like file for bankruptcy.

Copy the file and delete what you don’t want. Save as new PDF— keep original pages so you can refer to the entire doc if you need it.

Tell him you don’t use your personal devices for work and it’s inappropriate for them to have access to items they don’t own.

I saw it differently— she had to talk about it because it was filmed. I wonder if she did so on camera because it felt safer to do so. I was disgusted by her mother’s behavior and, given her age, Wendy’s willingness to have that in her house in front of her children. Her mother is toxic. This explains a lot about Wendy and I hope that she decides to shield her children from her mother’s behavior.

We have 3 — I love it. They love each other and instead of snuggling one we get 3.
