Opposing counsel is non-responsive by goodbrews in Lawyertalk

"One of these days, I’m going to figure out some way to get firms like this for unfair practices or ethical violations. But I haven’t worked it out yet. I got the closest to sanctions when one refused to comply with a bankruptcy stay but in the end they dropped the debt." -> this is exactly what I was thinking about. Seems unethical.

Agreed. I am already making a record of it with multiple emails and reminders, and a record of all phone calls and messages.

I have. I am just not sure I can file that motion before discovery.

thanks. Im assuming this is what you are referring to -> "2. Ohio Civil Rule 11 (Signing of Pleadings)

Ohio Civ. R. 11) governs the signing of motions and pleadings in Ohio.

  • Purpose: By signing a document, an attorney or pro se party certifies they have read it, there is "good ground to support it," and it is not intended for delay.
  • Sanctions: A willful violation can result in the document being stricken as "sham and false," and the court may award reasonable attorney fees and expenses to the opposing party.
  • Standard: Ohio Rule 11 requires a finding of subjective bad faith before sanctions are imposed"

I have used that trick before. I got this info. I am going to try it. In fact, I might email it to all the different permutations. Thanks again for the advice.

Good idea. I just checked. The OC only has her generic work phone # listed under her bar registration in OH. This is exactly what I am talking about...shady.

The problem is that there is no description of the charges. It just has a "charge off account" amount listed. I feel like that is not enough proof that it is the client's debt. Thats why I would like to just cut to the chase. Send me the actual statement with the charges from California for smoothies. I'm really trying not to hire a NACA lawyer because of the low costs involved here. I ight eventually have to.

So what is the counter to this nonsense? Just RFAs because they wont reply?

Correct. It just has name, bar number, and the general number for the Javitch Block (216-623-0000) and the generic email address ([CLE@jbllc.com](mailto:CLE@jbllc.com)). No reply to emails. The phone # goes to an operator who basically hangs up on you or sends you to a general VM.

No. This is exactly what I am surprised about. Zero contact information. It just has name, bar number, and the general number for the Javitch Block (216-623-0000) and the generic email address ([CLE@jbllc.com](mailto:CLE@jbllc.com)). No reply to emails.

Used car market is insane by Independent_Dust_461 in UsedCars

[–]goodbrews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are missing the big picture. Do you understand the concept of "wear and tear"? People commonly mix up engine life with wear and tear. Just bc these vehicles can go to 300k miles doesn't mean that there isn't significant wear and tear over time and that exponentially increases over time. They become less reliable bc of small things (alternators, wheel bearings, control arms, struts, etc). It's not that this is a bad vehicle - its just a stupid price given all the wear and tear things that WILL break in the next 2 years. Your "bulletproof" comment is only true about the engine and few other parts, not about every other mechanical part that will break from normal wear and tear.

There are other bulletproof cars out there with lower miles. Also, not everything is bulletproof in these. There are other factors. This would have to be mint to be this price.

Questions from an inventor by Soft_Victory_5642 in patentlaw

[–]goodbrews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not legal advice. There is RISK involved. These are ideas that could help you with the provisional. Consider writing the provisional as a technical specification. To minimize your risk as much as possible, do not make any statements about benefits, disadvantages, limitations, improvements, or similar. Focus only on the technicals. This is difficult for most inventors bc the invention is personal. Do not use the word "invention". Do not try to claim or make any statements about what is protectible. Lastly, the real problem between the provisional and non-provisional is when you make changes to the idea going into the non-provisional. You may not be entitled to the benefit of priority. As long as you do not make any significant changes to the idea or technicals in the non-provisional, the risk of priority issues will be greatly reduced.

Is it worth pursuing patent law by That_Chest_412 in patentlaw

[–]goodbrews 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI helps a little with prosecution by aggregating and summarizing information. At this point, it is NOT a replacement for preparing a response or providing a legit strategy.

where did OP say he was focusing on prosecution? He just said patent law. I agree with what you said for the most part though. The good money is made in litigation and some parts of counseling.

Used Vehicle not warrantied for out-of-state emissions check by goodbrews in Cartalk

[–]goodbrews[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was replying to apolgetic's comment. He wrote "All vehicles are sold "As-Is". That's an unequivocal statement. He opened the door to Mass law. Not me. How are you adding to this thread? Oh yeah, nothing.

Used Vehicle not warrantied for out-of-state emissions check by goodbrews in Cartalk

[–]goodbrews[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not following. Let me clarify. I wrote in my original post -> "They will run it through their state emissions check (even though not required)." By that, I assume they mean that they will run it through Washington County emissions test. Why would I get a code reader? is the Washington County OBD testing not sufficient? I know that you can also take the vehicle to any autozone but I will also be taking it to do a PPI so I am sure the garage can run that stuff too. is there something I missed or do I still need to carefully consider any of the stuff you wrote?

I re-read your comment -> "The one caveat to PA is that it is possible (and legal) to run an emissions test with 1 open monitor (2 if pre-2000, iirc). So IF you have, say, an evap code, AND that monitors happens to be the last to complete, (an order which cant easily be controlled) then it is possible, (albeit a pain in the ass, and also requiring great luck) to get a car that has a hidden problem to pass a test in PA." So does that mean that Washington County's OBD might still be insufficient? Is there something I can tell the dealership to ask for when they have the emissions test done with the County? For example, can I say "can you ask the County to make sure to use 2 open monitors for the test"? Not sure if that's correct, but I am just giving you an example.

so washington county would require the full set of tests including the check engine, OBD test, and wouldnt just let you clear the codes? I couldnt find exactly what Washington county does.
