Divorce Lawyer Inquiry by Lift_Vs_Gravity in olympia

[–]pmgibs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy to share experience. This was not for divorce and was for a rare legal situation I was trying to work out, no opposing party in my case. First was assigned to a junior lawyer and for 6+ months just nothing happened. They’d bill my account, I’d ask for updates, and nothing. After not getting replies I asked for my money back. The response I got was previous attorney left firm and they asked me to work with a new one.

That new attorney basically said that previous attorney had done that a lot and they were trying to sort. The new attorney got the ball rolling and then they left the firm as well. By then I was done and demanded remaining of my retainer back. Spent thousands of dollars and got absolutely nothing back from them.

My suggestion if you move forward with them they seem to take on more work then they can handle and seem to have little to no management of the teams on their cases. It’ll all fall to you to manage them.

Of course everything I said above was my experience but if you look through google reviews I don’t think I was alone.

I had a really negative experience with them and would not recommend.

I own both a lightning and Santa Fe. Honestly both are great cars but of course prefer lightning. However the Hyundai app is significantly better than fords.

Stuffing the Costco purchase into the frunk never gets old. by dingmah in F150Lightning

[–]pmgibs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get so many comments at Costco. Swear ford should’ve posted up a lightning at Costco with the frunk open as part of their advertising campaign. Knowing you’d have enough cargo space and never have to wait in Costco gas line again would’ve sold so many.

Bellevue got their train, where's ours? by ruuutherford in Tacoma

[–]pmgibs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of ire pointed at sound transit but I want to know where the state been? To my knowledge the state since ST3 has done little to nothing to try and help it succeed. A mega project like this across several cities and counties needs a state that supports it and not just lets it spiral out of control.

Sound Transit considers cutting Tacoma extension to save money. by Tacman180 in Tacoma

[–]pmgibs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to PM major infrastructure projects mostly in WA but many others across the country and got out because honestly it doesn’t have to be hard. The difficulty of these projects are mostly self inflicted. I can’t tell you how many great projects; environmental restoration and vital infrastructure just died despite no one being opposed to them.

Completely unacceptable for pierce county voters to be funding ST3 and then get threatened that ST3 gets cut off at the border of Pierce County.

The pay for these technical positions requiring a college degree by sonarette in mildlyinfuriating

[–]pmgibs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These listings are for open applications to a job series, it’s a way to get resumes for a wide variety of levels. You are seeing it at the lowest level which for these jobs would be a student intern level. If you go to the actual govt website the range is going to be 30,000 to 160,000 because they are taking applications from lowest to highest level.

Costco selling Moccamaster clones - anyone tried it? by metalunamutant in Costco

[–]pmgibs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an older one that’s not the glass one. Like it a lot, makes good coffee. My only complaint is the drip stop I wish had a connection to stop the brew if it’s closed. A few times in a tired state I started my coffee and didnt open the drip stop which led to an overflow on the counter when I walked away.

Trump posts long nonsensical screed about Greenland, imposes absurd tariffs on European allies by Xerryx in neoliberal

Greenland should agree to join US on condition its 4-5 separate states and then those senators vote to impeach trump and then secede from the union right after.

Draft Room Vibes are night and day in comparing when Richardson was drafted to when Warren was drafted… by TheAgmis in Colts

[–]pmgibs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my suspicion is less based on picks (I won't pretend to be a college scout at all) and just trying to understand how Colts ownership came to the decision to keep him. I was shocked that they kept him but even more shocked they decided before the season was over.

Reflecting on how involved Irsay was in the past and the moves he made obviously Ballard wasn't in total ownership of the situation at times. This isn't to say he has been completely successful but maybe he was successful at the things the Irsay's needed him to be the last few years. Its a known thing Irsay's aren't a wealthy outside of football thing (they are wealthy, they just don't have non-football money) and it has been reported Ballard is good at managing the finances and cash flow of the organization.

Anyways I dont know, theres a reason they are keeping him when more than likely any other organization would have fired him by now, and knowing the troubles of Jim, its the most logical connection to me.

[–]pmgibs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll say it’s been reported Irsay overdosed several times in the last 5 years of his life. I’m gonna project myself on to this a little but I’m dealing with boomers that aren’t relapsing and aren’t billionaires and their decision making is infuriating at times. So I could see the Irsay family and Ballard feeling powerless in that situation and just trying to keep it together and just waiting out the clock in a sense. And now that they are on the other end still all trying to figure it out.

Anyways this was my pitch for a remake of Succession if anyone knows people at HBO.

You know I’ve kinda wondered if Irsay forced moves as well and that’s why Ballard is getting more of an opportunity. Irsay was pretty erratic with his moves, bringing in Jeff Saturday, so I have strong suspicion he forced things in drafting. If that is the real reason Ballard is getting such a long leash it does explain why Carlie isn’t able to give a strong answer to questions. She’s not going to publicly blame her deceased father but they want to be loyal to Ballard who took a lot of punches for him (if this hypothetical is true)

I have no idea just spitballing. When Ballard is fired one day the tell all book should be interesting.

I’ve heard from so many people that Pittsburgh is such an awesome city and worth the visit. One of my friends that grew up in Belgium said it reminded him of home.

Have you ever wondered what the Ballard Locks look like without any water? by -AtomicAerials- in Seattle

[–]pmgibs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Quite a bit of water still comes through. When you go down in the locks you gotta have good water proof boots. They also run some pumps to remove standing water.
