I had a lawyer go missing in the middle of my divorce. Does that count? He received my money, filed the initial paperwork, and then just disappeared. I went to his office and found a folding chair and a plant and nothing else. Long story short, I had to go to stupid lengths to find him just so I could get his withdrawal from the case (Took me three years to get divorced). I filed a complaint with the state bar and they laughed and told me to get in line - the guy had a laundry list of deceitful behavior. He was later disbarred.

Oh gd that's worse than what happened to a family friend, the dental surgeon she's sueing for medical malpractice vanished off the face of the earth for slightly less time than triggers an automatic default judgement. They were able to contact his malpractice insurance, and so for a time the goals of both lawyers were aligned- finding the damn guy. Also he might have administered anesthesia without a current lisence to do so. I think the family friend has reported him to the state liscencing board, I don't have any updates but I wouldn't be suprised if the result is similar. He also has a history of moving his practice to different counties.

I had a client who went to immigration court at age 17 on the same day his then lawyer got arrested. He had no lawyer but was told by the immigration judge he needed to admit to whether his asylum claim was made up or not next time he appeared. The next time he went to court he went with another incompetent attorney who had him write out that his asylum claim was fake (all he had to do was withdraw his asylum claim). The judge then barred him from ever getting a green card. When this was appealed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, there was only one question before the panel: “Can a judge tell a minor without a lawyer to confess a crime?” The 3 judges (all from top law schools) wrote a 10 page decision that denied my client’s appeal. Funny thing was they never addressed the only issue in the case. Not one word about him being a minor or the initial judge’s actions.

Since folks are posting good stories with lawyers, mine is from a few years ago. I went to see a lawyer for assistance with setting up probate for my deceased wife. After showing her my paperwork and what I needed done, she looked at me and said, "You're 90% done. All you have to do now is file this at the probate court and pay the processing fee. I could take this on for you but honestly, I'd simply be taking your money at this point." So it was nice to hear from an expert that I didn't need her expertise and save me some money.

You included an attorney harassing his ex girlfriend, so I was surprised you didn't include the similar self destruction of the Chief Judge of New York State. Sol Wachtler was so widely respected in NY that he was considering resigning from the NY State Court of Appeals (in NY the Supreme Court are the trial level courts) to run for governor as a Republican. I believe Wachtler was the person who first said that if they wanted to, a prosecutor could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. If he ran for governor he most likely would have won since he would have run in 1994, the year George Pataki beat Mario Cuomo. Unfortunately, he destroyed his life instead. Judge Wachtler was married but had an affair with a woman who eventually ended the relationship. He wasn't happy about that and decided to get her back by threatening to murder both his former mistress and her daughter. He made these threats over the phone with a disguised voice. His plan was to terrorize the woman so badly that she would run back to him in hopes that he could protect her. Instead she called either the FBI or the police, but it was the FBI that identified Wachtler as the terrorist and arrested him. Instead of moving into the governor's mansion, he moved into a prison where he was stabbed and almost died. Upon his release, the hard line law and order judge became an advocate for prison reform. Sol Wachtler was a graduate of the Washington & Lee University School of Law. By the time I started law school at W&L, Wachtler was already in prison. During my criminal law class, one of my classmates made a comment about the case we were studying and how the defendant in the case was a criminal and how that situation could never happen to him because he wasn't a criminal. Our professor, Roger Groot, did not like that comment. So he told us about the downfall of Sol Wachtler because Wachtler "lost his f*cking mind." After his release, Wachtler spoke at a W&L alumni event in Manhattan. I attended the speech mostly out of curiosity. But he actually impressed me with the way he took responsibility for his actions. He said that what he did was horrible and inexcusable and that he deserved to go to prison. But I had to agree with him that prison conditions needed to be improved.

If it wasn't for him I'd probably still be locked up, instead of running a business and taking care of things the right way for the past 15 years. I had paid lawyers, that didn't do shit except take my money, then make excuses. I fired them, he stepped in as a PD, and did a very fine job. Thank you, Mr. Livingston, I owe you.

A relative had bad experiences with lawyers. He climbed a tree as a child and touched an electric wire that was both too low and not supposed to be there, which may explain why they didn't trim the tree. Now, ignoring the fact that the electric company came out and raised the wire and then claimed it had always been that high and that he must have been standing tippy-toe on the top twigs that won't even support birds, they also seemed to be able to influence lots of local lawyers into either not taking the case or in taking the case, dawdling, and wasting time instead of taking it to court so that the filing deadlines would elapse. Finally, he got a lawyers who was willing to take his case. But he told him it was too late to pursue. Apparently, that wasn't true and he merely wanted to pursue it without the family's knowledge so that he could pocket all the settlement for himself. The case was thrown out and for various other reasons the lawyer was disbarred. Fast-forward a few years when he turns 18 and he files his suit as an adult. The electric company says the case was already disposed. The judges realizes shenanigans were afoot at many different levels and finally lets the case come to court.

Not only did they commit a crime that they should be aware of, but they also broke the trust people have in the legal system which should be a banable offense. If they want to have the power to remove people's freedoms (i.e. locking them up in a cage) they should be held to a higher standard than the average person who can't do that.

Absolutely agree, if you are a judge, lawyer, LEO, legislator etc. It should be one strike, otherwise the integrity of the entire system is compromised. This is one reason every aspect of the US legal system is broken. The people making the laws are money hungry power whores who care about keeping themselves rich and privileged, and nothing else. The people enforcing the laws are essentially the same, with more emphasis on power and privilege. The only thing that really varies is the scope. A senator can affect the entire country, a beat cop would only affect individuals in his locality. All of them instinctively understand that they are part of the same system and protect each other, so the system is almost impossible to change. They've made it so that it is nearly impossible to hold any individual in their entire ecosystem accountable.

Care to know what hydroplaning is considered under the law? Because that classification is why he filed a suit, and is a classification ALL 19 year old drivers SHOULD learn about before luck runs out. If the man had hired legal representation, there would have been a very good chance he would have won, although probably highly limited on the amount the court would have granted since there was no injury and apparently at most, minimal damage if any. When you hydroplane, in the rain or not, you are at that moment guilty of Failure to Control. The ticket can potentially be fairly costly, especially if you hit another vehicle and/or cause property damage. Posted speed limit was 55mph. My cruise control was set to 55mph. The left rear control arm broke on a straight section of road and in a split second my car was sideways and no amount of counter-steer was correcting it. I hit a large tree at that speed, driver's door first, that was growing directly in front of a residence. No property damage, I was the only vehicle involved. And the residents of the house did not want anything from me but to heal. When I finally started coming around a few days later, a state trooper arrived with a ticket. It mattered not that the cause was not due to my driving or that the very thing which holds a wheel straight had broken. The trooper's case to me "I managed to get to your accident scene without crashing, as did the ambulance." Even the second lawyer's office I contacted told me the best move is to just pay the ticket before the court date. I had no one to sue and $220 was far cheaper than the retainer fee alone. Oh yea... How was he to know anyone not related to him was in college? And exactly when did being a college student ever matter when it comes to civil cases? Do you seriously think you being in college is somehow special? As if you deserve immunity from your actions? You are SUPPOSED to educate in life dude. You don't get a cookie for doing what everyone capable is supposed to do. What's next? A statue for breathing? "Mommy, I went potty! I'm a good boy now huh?" That's what I felt when reading that sentence you left. You failed to control because you were not leaving a safe amount of space between you and the vehicle in front of you. And here in reality, in most cases, rear-ending another vehicle is usually the fault of the impacting vehicle. You do not deserve the luck you experienced if you ask me. For you do not understand why the entire accident was your fault. Absolutely NO accountability. Nothing but passing blame onto others. Be happy the one you hit did not obtain a minimum basic education. Watch your distance. Pay attention while driving a deadly weapon among other deadly weapons before you actually do hurt someone. You see all of those other vehicles on the road, correct? Well those are called other people. And you SHARE the planet with those other people. None of this is yours. Its all of ours. Stop being careless on OUR roadways.

As a St. Louisian, I have to say you summed up the McCloskeys and their antics pretty well. But we had another big "lawyers gone wild" moment way back in September 1987. Charles Hurth, a law student at St. Louis University at the time, was at a local bar with his buddies and had gotten too drunk for his own good. For some incomprehensible reason his buddies urged him to go up to a pretty female law student and bite her on the rear end. He went and did it, so hard that it broke the skin and caused her to need medical treatment. If that had happened nowadays, he'd have been criminally prosecuted for sexual assault. But as we depressingly learned from your Revenge of the Nerds review, the late 1980s were just a different era. He wasn't arrested--but the girl did sue him for damages, and the story got the attention of the local media. There were so, so many puns that the newspapers came up with--when Hurth lost the case, an actual headline from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch was "BOTTOM LINE" in big letters.

I respectfully disagree as one St. Louisian to another. Nice to meet you by the way. I don't know if the McCloskeys are terrible people or so much about their antics. I just don't think their actions were entirely egregious as this video suggests. I'm not sure why Legal Eagle omitted or unbeknownst to him, never mentioned that it was not a lawful and peaceful protest. They tore down a large iron gate to a private estate and were on private property. Saying only that they, "walked by their house" is not an accurate account of the event. Or that the financial contributions to prosecute them were politically motivated. My point is not so much about the McCloskeys and more about the case being on this list. And about how a channel about the law failed to mention the distinction between brandishing a firearm to pedestrians and those illegally on private property. As, while not certain, in most States or even federally, usually changes things a lot. Weird thing about the bite. Never heard about that. Anyway, I live in Asia now. Hope all is well back in our hometown. Go Cards!

The solution is to make the penalties for screwing around way higher. A 57 month sentence for what could be RICO is pathetic. The judge who was allowed to get his license back is pathetic. Given the power the judiciary wields (and by extension, lawyers), the penalties for misconduct need to be unrecoverable. Life without parole would be a start.

It's not really any means necessary, though. That's why there are rules of the court. I think the stigma comes more from the fact that we, in America, believe that every person deserves a fair defense. So attorneys must defend even the most vile and disgusting people. Now I still believe that's the correct way to handle things. I just think that's why attorneys get a bad rep.

And in one of the first issues they're standing around and happen to be outside a courthouse, commenting on how the crime is just through the roof. And one is like naahhh it's not so bad. The courthouse door bursts open and an old-school judge with black robes, the poofy white wig, and a gavel, comes sprinting down the stairs. He yanks open someone's car door, shouts "GUILTY, BITCH!" knocks her out with the gavel, throws her on the ground, then hops the curb and races off down the sidewalk, knocking over a mailbox and sending a guy on a wheelchair flying into traffic. Then the one friend looks to the other and goes "Oh and just what the hell was THAT?!"

Yep. Judges took brides to send kids to jailhouses for profit. Conaham agreed to plea guilty in one count and got 17.5 yrs in jail. Ciavarella went to the trial and got 28 yrs. Besides other criminal indictments for everyone involved, Penn. Supreme court had to overrule hundreds of sentencing of young kids as well as massive civil claims of them.

We were in a car collision, but the other driver admitted fault right off the cuff, no dispute required. Gave all his insurance info and his insurance paid for hospital and chiropractic bills, no issues. Even after I told my chiropractor all this (even though saying "We're not suing" should have been enough), he still wouldn't stop. It was crazy.

Heh I remember when I was 15 I collided with a car pulling out of a supermarket parking lot with my bicycle. Some days later, the guy's lawyer sent us a letter detailing his planned lawsuit to get out liabilty insurance to pay for his car repairs (a whopping 150€). We went to see a lawyer and he laughed and said we don't need a lawyer, no judge will allow this case to go forward for the simple reason that he failed to hold short of the lot exit ramp when a cyclist was approaching. The fact I failed to notice him was irrelevant, since I had right of way it was his job to notice me. This is in addition to the fact that he lied in his incident report claiming I had headphones on and did not have my hands on the bars (which, even if they had been true would also have been irrelevant due to the simple fact he took right of way). He'd be laughed out of the district offices and his lawyer held in contempt for even daring to file it in a blatant attempt to extract money out of a client on a baseless case. Didn't even charge us for the consultation. Nice guy. Sure enough, aside from that letter we never heard a word about it again. Dunno what happened, perhaps he decided against filing when we refused to pay him. Empty threat anyway, even if by some miracle he had managed to get it to court I could easily disprove both of the lies by the fact that there was a camera in that parking lot with perfect view of the accident site. An accident which claimed the life of the portable speakers I had been using at the time, the broken remains of which are still in my possession to this day.

@@Bacteriophagebs Counterpoint: The average layman does not know the difference between crossbow bolts and bow arrows - therefor, the use of the term itself should be deemed irrelevant and, if need be, examination of the projectile should be conducted to deduce the means by which it is intended to be shot. Additionally, even then, one should not assume that the arbalest used proper ammunition, it is quite plausible one could use a crossbow to shoot a bow arrow - improper, but doable. In either case, how many people are there who would have both one of the types of ammunition (bolt or arrow, whichever expert examination determines it to be), the means to shoot it, *and* the motive to commit such an act? Determining a criminal is a process of extensive investigation and elimination (or, it *should* be).

The judge who got into the fight with the public defender in the hall did not obtain a speedy trial waiver from the client. The judge went back in, and told him if he waived his trial would start in July; otherwise it would start in June. The defendant said, "I just want to get this over with as soon as possible." The judge replied, "That doesn't help me" and scheduled the trial for June. This whole scene has played on A&E dozens of times.

Judges are one of those professions where there should be no second chances. The system simply cannot tolerant it. Kinda like air traffic controller - no one gets a free pass on a plane crash. Or public engineer, etc.

I know of 2 great ways to use a crossbow: 1. Inside of a dedicated room within your own home with a target at the other end for sport; 2. To fire glowsticks or other cold-light sources into the air at night as part of a well-organized, synchronized, and publicized alternative to pyrotechnics (with proper permissions/paperwork).

It was actually three judges in a White Castle parking lot. They had originally gone to a strip club, but it was closed. One of the judges gave a random car driving past the middle finger, and it parked and the two men inside came out and started fighting the judges. It ended with the driver shooting two of the judges and sending them to the hospital in critical condition.

I am a handyman, so I take direct exception to this comment. I have refused to accept any payment from a client who was unhappy with my work, because I stand behind my work. There's plenty of specialty contractors who perform atrociously, destroy customer property, and then refuse to make things right, so it ain't the category of worker, it's the person doing the work. The bigger takeaway from your comment is that if you've needed a lawyer that frequently, YOU are most likely the problem, not the lawyers.

private private. Truer words have never been spoken. Had a handy-man/roofer do a complete roof reno last year. Said it would cost 11k, signed a contract with him that stipulated a done by date, and all the things I needed done and in what order since it is my home and office. They started, worked really hard at tearing the old off, and getting the sheathing put back, then disappeared for a month...during NOVEMBER. I had to climb up and put the moisture barrier on just so my house would not leak. I finally got him and his team back, 3 or 4 hours at a time every few days. When I made my first payment everything was groovy. Second half went to crap. Called a lawyer, they were uninterested said those cases are hard to do. Called the state AG. He said I should put a complaint in, which I did. Have not heard back. Called several times, keep getting the run around. Ended up paying another crew to finish the job. They were to take pictures before they started so I had proof of what the other crew messed up. They swear they did, but lost them. So I am now out half the original 11k, and another 8k for that second crew to fix what they first crew effed up. Even the 2nd crew was hard to get onsite they would come one day do 3 hours, then a week later come two days in a row. It was and still is maddening. If lawyers are half that bad, I feel sorry for anyone who has to use them. Obviously I know not all are...but enough to make it difficult.
