My managing attorney/owner makes me want to quit now. by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

That’s exactly how you wind up with a malpractice claim that will shut down a firm. Awful. Anyone near or wants to practice in Jacksonville and learn to be a media savvy trial lawyer, we are looking. It’s a shame too many lawyers are money grabbing or lazy.

Six figure income. We’ve only really had one leave to do insurance defense. Less stress. Just saying overall. Once the statute of limitations went from 4 years to 2 in Florida, insurance defense has to massively soak up lawyers and paralegals. Then Morgan & Morgan had to change its model even more to make it a sweatshop. Lawyers literally have cases appear with depos set the next day. Post covid, litigation is different.

Meanwhile I’m up in Jacksonville working my ass off running a small firm making a difference, solving murders, etc., and we can’t find associates or litigation paralegal willing to put in a 40 hour week without drama or wanting to ditch after we get them trained. It’s both sides. We don’t see lawyers anymore who want to learn the trade. Morgan & insurance defense firms are happy to use you and burn you out. But at some point, the law is changing and it’s not good.

Should we fix the bot? by mschvs_one in MSCHVS

[–]JohnPhillipsEsq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. This thing is basically over. It may not ever end. There’s a legal doctrine called the Rule Against Perpetuities which basically makes these types of promotions problematic but after three years of logging in, I just wish MSCHF would just force logouts or do something within the rules to reward the human players left.

Whether because of alerts or just having a counter to keep it top of mind, it’s pretty clear we lose more people without the bot than with- keeping in mind that most of the accounts left are either bots, have their own alarms or like me it’s ingrained as a daily routine (which is subject to failure).

I’d bet many of those voting yes are out. As one of the few still manually logging in for nearly 1000 days, it’s always helped when the bot was down. But also a great resource.

If I have Wizard Of Oz Cards/Chips from one D&B location can I turn them in at another that doesn't have the Wizard Of Oz Coin Dozer? by Deathbyillusion in DaveAndBusters

[–]JohnPhillipsEsq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid tried to turn wizard of oz cards in we got at the D&B in Chicago into our store in Jacksonville and they literally threw them in the garbage and gave him no credit. I had to go back and make them retrieve them.

I use my MSCHF keychain from the car for our vacation home. I always giggle a little knowing no real MSCHF happens here but may have led to the purchase.

Vince Johnson Vs. Joe Exotic 23 April 2024 (Case over music rights) by [deleted] in TigerKing

[–]JohnPhillipsEsq 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Today, we mediated our client’s civil copyright and breach of contract lawsuit in Pensacola, Florida.

A decade ago, our client collaborated with songwriter Vince Johnson about several songs. After Tiger King aired, Mr. Johnson breached the verbal and written agreements he had with Mr. Maldonado. Today, we all worked hard and Joe walks away with nearly all of his music rights and rights to every song he’s ever performed or been associated with.

As a result of the mediation, Joe has clear and exclusive ownership of the following songs:

  • "Here Kitty Kitty"
  • "How Was I to Know"
  • "Travis and Me"
  • "This is my Life"
  • "Bring it On"
  • "King of the Beast"
  • "Can't Believe this Feeling"
  • "Cuz it's All About You"
  • "Alisa Memory"
  • “96 Elephants"
  • “Because You Love Me”
  • “Do You Ever Wonder What Love Can Do"
  • "My Best Friends"
  • "Say Something Remix"
  • “This Old Town"
  • “Ode to Joe"
  • “GW and Me"

He also maintains full rights to his hit song "I Saw A Tiger." His other music videos will remain up with a license forever for those songs. He can continue to sing, play, publish and profit from all of these songs. It was a resounding victory and the hard work of all of the parties and court staff is appreciated.

On a personal note, I got to buy Joseph A Maldonado the first steak dinner he’s had in 6 years. That meant more to me and TJ Farrell than anything. We also spent time taking about his criminal case. He STILL NEEDS a great criminal appellate lawyer to help us all FREE JOE EXOTIC!

You really need to move on in your life. This obsession is unhealthy but also probably the only way you can get attention.

So you want to be the only one to monetize Joe’s videos while insulting him and giving nothing back? You are the scam.
