When the Truth Emerges: 36 Lawyers Shocked as Their Clients Unveil Jaw-Dropping Confessions
Fast forward to the hearing. After insurance attorney finishes their impersonation of a competent attorney, I explain the basic defect to the judge. I also explain that I told opposing counsel the following – what’s wrong, how to fix it, and that I will be asking for fees. Then I asked for fees. After that, a few things happened quickly.
1. Judge asks the walnut if my explanation was accurate.
2. Walnut says no.
3. I reach into my briefcase and grab an email from me to walnut.
4. Walnut *immediately* objects. In a pre-trial hearing. Like a f*****g walnut.
5. Judge ignores walnut and reads email.
6. Judge rules against walnut and awards fee.
7. Walnut says I should have mentioned the email sooner.
Special Ed case. School district was supposed to be providing services to the child in the home. Clients told us the school district had never sent anyone to provide the services, they hadn’t heard from anyone in the district about scheduling, etc. Brought this up during a prehearing conference with judge and opposing counsel. After the conference, opposing counsel sends me pages of affidavits and documentation of all the times the school district employees went to the house and were refused entry by my clients for various reasons (or clients just didn’t answer the door when they were clearly home). Clients had no explanation about why they lied to me. They fired us shortly after and I was not sad.
Their entire strategy, their public statements, and their arguments to Congress were all built on one crucial assumption: that there was no definitive proof, no “smoking gun,” linking Nixon directly to the obstruction of justice from the beginning. Then came the tapes. After the Supreme Court ordered Nixon to hand them over, his own lawyers finally got to listen to the infamous recording from June 23, 1972.
Nixon’s chief counsel was “visibly shaken” after hearing it. The tape was undeniable proof that Nixon had been personally involved in the cover-up just six days after the break-in. It was the ultimate “you should have mentioned this sooner” moment in American history. The lawyers’ entire case evaporated instantly, Nixon’s political support vanished overnight, and he was forced to resign just a few days later.
Ok, here we go. defending a lady in a simple neighbor dispute. neighbors said she assaulted them with a hose and threatened their kids, case was pretty weak bc my client was an old lady and she adamantly denied everything. anyways, it’s just a small evidentiary hearing in front of the judge so there was no discovery ahead of time or anything like that. anyways, my client is on the stand, come to find out they have video footage of her smearing dog s**t on their house, printing out photos of their kids and writing racial slurs on them (family was Jewish), and covering her house with racist signs (like, papering her entire house). needless to say my jaw dropped. client then perjured herself on the stand-they play a video where it’s obviously her, but she repeats “that’s not me” over and over. most painful court moment of my life.
I filed a bankruptcy for a person. A few weeks later, they indicated that a creditor continued to contact them, and had taken money out of their bank account, which is obviously a big no-no for people in bankruptcy.
It was Monday. I knew that if I wanted to file for sanctions, I I had to file the motion by Friday, so I wasn’t going to jump right into it. It’s best practice to try to get a creditor to correct their behavior first.
I called the original payday loan store. I called the national branch. They took messages daily, nobody was contacting me back. I asked for supervisors. Nobody was willing to talk about the situation, and I became increasingly frustrated. I’m not a yeller and I’m not particularly forceful, but even I was reaching my limit. I called my client daily to explain that it made no sense that they were being evasive, but I was working as hard as I could.
On Friday, I talked to some lower level grunt and explained that I needed a call back in an hour from a person who can clarify the situation, or the sanctions motion is being filed. I read off my time spent on the case, which would translate into thousands of dollars in sanctions if we were successful.
I finally get a manager. He, very politely, tells me that the client took out the loan after the bankruptcy was filed. I remember deflating like a popped balloon. My client had taken out a relatively big payday loan a week after the bankruptcy; they confessed that they knew it wasn’t included in the bankruptcy, but thought the lender would go away if an attorney got involved.
