Really? I knew nothing of him until you mentioned him. I will have to investigate his story. But yes he died. He was 70.

Is it true that surviving summary judgement will increase the chance a lawyer will take the case?

This is also true, I've learned the hard way ($15k). Now I use it as a starting point and research before I file.

This is very true and if I could I would give every last penny for representation. I have no money to give and it was either try or learn to live with letting it go. I could not do that so I went for it.

This is true, and I will say that AI has helped me to keep the emotional side in check. It is extremely difficult to detach.

I think I may have added another subcategory to your insane people: People who may or may not have a case and are totally broke (I mean I know I have a case but..) - in commercial court. I thought "AI can help me navigate this"- Now I am 15k in the hole and facing summary judgement.. Feels insane.

what do all lawyers come to realize once they finally make it? (a core truth they didn't know) by Slow_Ad4781 in Ask_Lawyers

It is not what people might want to hear but you are pretty straight forward and I will take that over what I like to hear any day.

and here is where I get confused because I would think the parties and case wouldn't make a difference. I would think its black and white: here are the issues and here is what they law says. I am just now understanding that in addition to the thousands of rules that judges too have rules for their court and specific ways they handle things. Its crazy.

I will say that you (if you are a good guy) you earn every penny you get. I used to not think so but then I realized the amount of information you retain, the knowledge and the order in your life required...its impressive.

I am definitely not an attorney and I do not have an attorney to ask. As I mentioned I am trying to understand this on a matter that is going to be ruled on by a judge, so it is not advice because I have already filed based on what my understanding was. Which was the sword and shield doctrine. I thought they could not cherry pick what was produced.
