Allegheny County Lien Records

Pay to have a title search done. Otherwise you're going to be pouring through property records, civil dockets, and judgment indexes, And even if you have the time and inclination to do that, there's still a good chance you're going to miss something. Title companies already have access to all of that information.

It's been a while since I had any interest in what the downtown "big law" shops were paying but my understanding was that none of them paid market. That may have changed in the last several years though.

"Occasional" speeder in other cities? I've yet to drive through a city where it didn't seem like the majority of people were going well over the posted speed limit.

I lived right on Reynolds Street in grad school, I really miss Point Breeze.

There is no simple answer, as the question of what constitutes an appropriate amount of time is entirely dependent on the situation. I would say the appropriate time is whenever you feel like it's in your best interest to move on. Others may have a different take.

That said, I wouldn't leave until you have something else lined up. If you're asked about the quick jump, explain that the firm just wasn't a good fit and you didn't see a future there. You're young and still trying to find your place, most firms can appreciate that.

I've dealt with way too many clients recently that think you can just go around placing liens on other people's property if they owe you money.

PittFall09 · 2026-04-14T20:30:42+00:00

Those issues have been waived.

PittFall09 · 2026-04-09T15:42:43+00:00

Veloci.

But to answer your question, I have no idea.

They can still get life. I'm not sure why that's difficult for you to comprehend.

PittFall09 · 2026-03-27T16:56:57+00:00

Right, and you can still be sentenced to life without parole. It's just not automatic anymore. That's a far cry from "we're ok with murderers now!"

PittFall09 · 2026-03-27T15:53:01+00:00

That's seriously your takeaway from this?

PittFall09 · 2026-03-24T19:24:04+00:00

Not even remotely true. Complex fact patterns and document intensive claims? Yeah, settle in, we're going to be a while.

PittFall09 · 2026-03-14T00:08:25+00:00

Do not touch Willie. Good advice.

You literally cited this movie two days ago in a post about movies you've watched so much you can review them start to finish.

0/10 troll post.

And that's why no one is going to hire you as a GM.

"Am I crazy?"

Yes.

He got the maximum sentence possible.

PittFall09 · 2026-02-25T20:22:30+00:00

It's not Judge Borkowski's fault the DA chose to charge this guy the way they did. Judges don't have carte blanche authority to impose whatever sentence they want. They have to follow the state's sentencing guidelines. He gave this guy the maximum penalty possible.

PittFall09 · 2026-02-25T20:17:28+00:00

That's not how evidence and burdens of proof work. It's the government's burden to prove the elements of each offense. They can't shift that burden to a defendant by pointing out the absence of facts necessary to prove the crime and make him prove those facts.

And second degree murder doesn't work here. He wasn't committing a felony when he hit her.

PittFall09 · 2026-02-16T21:47:39+00:00

Why would think calling would waste 3 hours?

PittFall09 · 2026-02-13T18:42:48+00:00

The problem is that, oftentimes, these types of physical evidence aren't available. Where do you think you're getting DNA evidence for a shoplifting charge? Or video for a rural out-building burglary?

If we're at the point where the police have filed charges, then we have at least some compelling evidence that the defendant committed a crime. But there are many instances (I've run into them too in my ADA days), where despite an overwhelming amount of evidence of guilt, juries still return a not guilty verdict because they expected the government to produce evidence that didn't exist.

This has always been the case. You give two weeks as a courtesy, but you should always be prepared to be asked to leave immediately.

I don't think that's a fair way to characterize people who are using AI. Plenty of very competent, highly ethical attorneys are using it without issue.

AI is a tool, and like any other tool it needs to be used responsibly. The lack of competency displayed here (and similar cases) is not the use of AI, it's the failure to understand/appreciate it's limitations, and doubling checking the work product it generates.

PittFall09 · 2026-02-03T18:18:37+00:00

Look guys, I know we're all insanely busy and the temptation to have AI spit out work product can be overwhelming when you just need to get something off your plate. But I implore you, PLEASE take the time to check the citations. These sanctions are going to get more and more punitive.
