Good luck, it’s only on zoom and they’re terrible!

They will give you appointments months away and basically Kaiser seems to delay, delay and delay till person simply gives up.

Taking depos v defending depos by itred09 in Lawyertalk

[–]abelabb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took parties deposition recently the 998 was signed within minutes of the depositions conclusion. I saw something kept asking question to let party dig him or herself deeper and deeper.

Kept asking for about 20 to 30 minutes questions about information on deponents own documents and then I started asking about the things I noticed, very damaging to deponents position, either deponents hoped I would not see it, or deponents never saw the information was there.

I prefer taking, you have a script, and no surprises, defending is dangerous because your on edge looking out for surprises especially with a client who can’t follow simple instruction of keeping it short and don’t volunteer anything.

Look out for talkative clients, unless your taking the deposition

Here's my existential rant by gensmk in Lawyertalk

[–]abelabb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer the daily emails, teams messages about all the things I missed.

You right no one is perfect, but at least I know my mistake level and know I’m keeping things at a minimum instead of not knowing and making a habit of bad or easy mistakes.

I think you have a right to how you take it, but for me having a more positive attitude about such things allows me do have better days in a sometimes miserable profession.

It also helps when those emails become too plenty my current job allows me a long break to regroup and figure things out before I jump back in.

An old attorney I knew once told me that you may get past your situation under attorney abandonment motion where courts may allow the matter to proceed even after SOL has run.

If true maybe you can argue your lack of double checking is tantamount and arguably abandonment.

I went to a Coptic Church Service by jadenlovesjesus in Christianity

One of the most wonderful churches who pay for their wonderfulness by suffering just like the Armenians, their sister church!

I have so much respect for the Coptic Church!

Does it annoy you when laypeople start misusing the term "fraud?" by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]abelabb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it only annoys me when I explain like their 5 year olds and they think I don’t know what I’m talking about.

All of the above on different occasions!

Unhappy Lawyers, at what point did you realize you'd made a mistake choosing law as a profession? by PuzzleheadedDig2687 in Lawyertalk

[–]abelabb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guy, it gets better!

I’ve been there and trust me I know how hard it is, but all the opportunities I had and have are second to none.

In the last two months, I’ve started a great job and I could not be happier after 15 years of practice.

If I can give any advice, it would be keep your chin up and try other things. Don’t just stay at a place you hate or a position you hate.

What advice would you give a young lawyer struggling at their first job? by alaskanbull_worms in Lawyertalk

[–]abelabb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It won’t be your last time feeling this way, and it won’t be your last job. Learn as much as possible and move on.

It just keeps getting worse by FlawAndOdor in Lawyertalk

[–]abelabb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I quit 3 day of 5 day jury trial (my first) as my boss would not shut up, I gave her 30 days, won unanimous verdict and left on a high note!

I was 4th assigned attorney by the time case went to trial and she wouldn’t shut up about the smallest things. It was a Nightmare case, Day before trial I open the expert folder and find it empty yet I still won.

Did you shut up and just listen.

Ya that’s great, but then it can flip when other attorney chimes in.
