John Petrucci: Mike Portnoy - John replied through a lawyer!
2011-09-18 10:40:00 Translated from http://www.rockhard.gr/ Mike Portnoy: Laughs) You're right, but stays nearly a block at my house and now we talk almost a year! By John Petrucci contacted in October 2010, to reconcile and to bridge our differences, but not really talked at all, because instead replied the lawyer! I wanted to do, although there was no such things like, simply to avoid losing the band and I wanted to reach a compromise. Apparently, however, was not this on their intentions. Unfortunately, although I would keep a good relationship with children, communication stopped somewhat short ... It is very sad because it was my brothers for so many years, but they went too.... Obviously, John Petrucci is the most long-lasting musical relationship that I had. We worked and played together more than 25 years since we were teenagers until our forties. Women and children are friends, we grew up together, so it makes sense to have a deeper relationship with him than with anyone else. Yet I and othe...
Is my lawyer normal?
2011-09-16 18:05:00 For whatever reason, I’ve heard some strange stories about things that lawyers have been doing lately. With the weather cooling down, hopefully everyone will get back to normal.

Top 10 Things to Ask Your Lawyer
2011-05-31 15:04:00 Most of these are best asked in the initial stages, before you agree to hire a particular attorney. We recommend treating initial meetings or consultations like an interview. You undoubtedly have a lot of questions about your legal issue, but don't forget to ask the attorney about their practice, experience, fees, etc., as well When considering hiring an attorney, you might want to ask: 1. -; What areas of law do you practice? If you ask this question and the attorney lists more than a couple areas of law, it raises a red flag about their experience in the area you need. If they handle every case that comes through the door, it's less likely that they have significant experience...
Lawyer: Lockout could push season back three weeks
2011-05-01 16:51:00 Spoke with a lawyer that represents a prominent Chicago Bear and got his take on the NFL lockout situation. He believes the lockout will be upheld and also sees a scenario of the regular season starting about three weeks late. In this possible scenario there would be three pre-season games followed by a full regular season. The layoff would cause the league to skip the week off between the championship games and the Super Bowl. The Pro-Bowl could also be affected by following the Super Bowl as it has in the past. The one thing the league can't afford to do is change the date of the Super Bowl. Too much money and moving parts are involved in the league's...
Movie Review - The Lincoln Lawyer
2011-03-25 06:12:00 BY ROBERT HAMMERLE, guest contributor to HammervisionNEWS FLASH! Matthew McConaughey can actually act! REPEAT! Matthew McConaughey, particularly when liberated from co-starring with the woeful Kate Hudson, can actually act! Okay, Okay, so I am being a bit melodramatic. But having watched "The Lincoln Lawyer," it is gratifying to see what Mr. McConaughey can actually accomplish when he once again gets to work with a nuanced screenplay. Unfortunately, most movie fans today have long ago forgotten the promise McConaughey demonstrated in such enjoyable films as "Lone Star" (1996); "A Time to Kill" (1996); "Contact" (1997); "Amistad" (1997) and the very underrated Sci-fi gem "Reign of Fire" (2002). Poised for not only stardom but critical recognition as a genuine talent, he then decided to do such trashy films as...
Movie Review - The Lincoln Lawyer
2011-03-20 17:42:00 by David SchusterTook time out in the midst of all the NCAA games to catch "The Lincoln Lawyer" and was glad I did. This was Matthew McConaughey at his wise cracking dramatic best unlike his recent string of comedic failures. "The Lincoln Lawyer" stars McConaughey as a slick lawyer who is used to representing one sleeze ball after another but catches (what he thinks) is a big break with a rich kid on a murder case. The rick kid is played by Ryan Phillippe who in real life dumped Reese Witherspoon (what a dope) and he is definitely a creep in this movie too. ...

Chicago Divorce: "I want my Divorce Lawyer to be a Pit Bull"
2011-02-08 21:03:00 "I want my divorce lawyer to be part pit bull; part Doberman, part shark, and the rest Cobra...someone who will make my spouse suffer." Does this sound familiar? Of course it does. We have all heard of angry or hurt soon-to-be ex spouses making statements like this. The problem is that this is the problem.
How To Scam a Lawyer
2011-01-03 15:19:00 The ARDC recently sent out this warning to all attorneys. I can verify this happens as I get these e-mails all the time, usually from someone who says, "I was divorced in your jurisdiction" and wants to recover the settlement they are owed. While I'm sure you aren't worried about lawyers, the ARDC does at least provide some insight as to who you can report a scam to. -Mail Scams and Lawyer Trust Accounts Internet fraud schemes are increasingly targeting lawyers and law firms and the banks where lawyers have their client trust accounts. While many of these scams appear outwardly questionable and, as a result, are usually ignored, there have been reported cases throughout the country...
Lawyer Greed
2010-12-22 14:29:00 The other day I got a call from a California law firm, asking if I could help find a Chicago attorney who to take a deposition on a case they were handling. And the deposition was in three days. Huh??? The gist of the case is that a California resident got in to a fairly bad car accident in Chicago and a lawsuit was filed. The CA person went to an attorney's office in Los Angeles where they live. What should have happened is one of two things: 1. The lawyer should have said that they aren't licensed in Illinois and that since it's so far away the client should find someone else. 2. The lawyer should have said...

Your lawyer might be bad, but they aren't being bought off
2010-09-29 15:11:00 Part of running a legal guidance and lawyer referral service is that I talk to a lot of people, usually around 75 a day on average. Often these are people that are in the middle of a case and they just don't know why it's not going very well. They become suspicious, especially when friends or family are in their ear telling them what should be happening. About once a week, one of these frustrated callers will come to me and they will absolutely know why their case isn't going well. These are usually well educated, intelligent people. They know for certain that their lawyer must have been bought off because nothing else makes sense. This paranaoia usually stems...

Does a lawyer letter do anything?
2010-09-15 15:38:00 It's not uncommon for someone to call me looking for an attorney in Chicago who they can get to write a letter. The perception is that it will automatically solve the problem. I actually wrote a letter for a friend of mine in Chicago recently on my big, bad law firm stationary. She had rented a car and returned it in perfect condition. A week later she got a letter alleging that the car was damaged and they wanted $800 from her. The day after my letter was faxed, my friend got an e-mail apologizing for the trouble and had her $800 debt wiped away. In my letter I pointed out that the photo they sent her of the damaged...
Blagojevich Verdict Watch While Lawyer Regrets Not Calling Jesse Jackson Jr

And there are regrets. Natasha Korecki's Blago Blog, meanwhile, reports that Michael Ettinger, a lawyer for Rob Blagojevich, regretted that U.S. Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. didn't take the witness stand.
Why would a lawyer reject you?
2010-07-06 16:38:00 It's not like a lawyer to turn away business. So why would they? If you've called several Chicago area attorneys and still can't find someone to take your case, consider these common reasons: 1. You don't have a case. Sometimes, you simply don't have a case. Even if you are injured, embarrassed, out of a job, etc., there may be no one to blame (legally). If you recently had surgery and it was unsuccessful, it's not necessarily medical malpractice. If your employer didn't like you and fired you for no reason, it may not be illegal termination. Lawyers tend to be cautious about telling someone they don't have a case, and you should still get a second opinion to...

5 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Lawyer in Illinois
2010-06-15 13:39:00 In Illinois, within any given legal field, there are probably hundreds of attorneys to choose from, especially for common areas of law like divorce, car accidents and criminal defense. How do you find the one that's best for you? Always interview a lawyer before hiring them to represent you. When we say interview them, we mean really interview them. A lot of people we come across are either intimidated by the legal process or just not experienced enough with asking hard questions. The most overused phrase of 2010 is "especially in this economy," but I have to say that especially in this economy attorneys should earn your business. Here are 5 things you should ask. 1. What is your plan for my case?Before...
So That's Why I Need A Lawyer at My Closing
2010-06-14 16:24:00 It's always difficult to advocate having a lawyer at your closing when you're an attorney because it just sounds like you're trying to get hired. But this point is so important, it's worth emphasizing as one of my first posts: When you have a closing, get an independent lawyer.Most people do, which is good. But there's one big flaw in the system. People tend to get a lawyer that's recommended by the real estate agent, or some other party that relies on the closing to take place in order to get paid. Many of these referrals are solid, and independently advise their client. Unfortunately, though, I've seen the ugly side of this arrangement too.There are attorneys who will green-light a...
Lawyer K.V.Dhananjay on Swami Nityananda Furore In India
2010-05-24 06:52:00 For those who appreciate a calm, rational discussion of issues relating to the Swami Nityananda sex case in India, the following interview of the South Indian lawyer K.V. Dhananjay is worth watching. India's vastly overloaded and deeply-flawed justice system is made most apparent. Difficulties in bringing any formal justice to Sathya Sai Baba and his core servitors can be inferred from this discussion It is these grave difficulties which Sathya Sai Baba's de facto apologists, ever ready in violation of their guru's teachings against harsh words and other forms of attack, completely - and with great shallowness - would try to deny.
Illinois Lawsuit Loan Sharks? Stop This Latest Trial Lawyer Bill
2010-04-13 00:37:00 From the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform... Illinois' reputation for lawsuit abuse hurts our jobs climate. The last thing we need are measures in Springfield that would encourage trial lawyers to file more lawsuits. So then why are our state legislators considering a law that would do just that? This wrongheaded bill (S.B. 3322) would legimitize a new "lawsuit lending" industry in Illinois -- creating new "lawsuit loan sharks" who loan money to help people file lawsuits. More Illinois lawsuits? That's the last thing we need. This bill has passed the Senate and is pending in the State House: click here to email your state representatives today to oppose the "Lawsuit Loan Shark" bill. A recent Harris survey of...

Man Suing His Wife's Divorce Lawyer
2009-09-10 22:35:00 A man is suing a lawyer he once consulted with on his divorce matter after the lawyer heard his side of the story and then went on to represent the man's ex-wife. Plaintiff David Newton alleges that in April of 2006 he consulted Defendant David Grund to potentially represent him in his divorce from Hadley Newton.

New Zealand Lawyer Exposes Official Cover Up of Killings In Sathya Sai Baba
2009-08-20 01:33:00 Long before worldwide allegations of Sathya Sai Baba?s serial sexual abuse of boys and young men began to surface in earnest ? circa AD 2000 ? notable individuals shocked by signs of cover up ? started to analyze situations, and leave the Sathya Sai Baba camp. For an example of early investigators, see the article by Warren C. Pyke LLN (Hons.) LLM (VUW), Barrister, New Zealand 3-3-1993: Sathya Sai Baba Murders Evidence (A New Zealand Barrister Analyses Police Evidence). Another earlier investigator of various serious allegations against Sathya Sai Baba was Terry Gallagher, an agricultural scientist and businessman who, in consequence of his findings, resigned as head of the Sathya Sai Organization in Australia.

Kane's lawyer implies he wasn't drinking, attacked no one and see
2009-08-11 22:46:00 The Buffalo News reported Tuesday afternoon that Patrick Kane's attorney, Paul Cambria Jr., is saying that he has evidence that will completely clear his client of charges of robbery and assault of a cab driver early Sunday morning.Cambria said that he will ask that the felony hearing scheduled for Monday in Buffalo be rescheduled until later in the week. That could stop Kane from attending next week's U. S. Olympic Orientation Camp at Seven Bridges Ice Rink in Woodridge, where he would be certain to be deluged by Chicago media."When all of this is put into perspective, it's going to appear vastly different than the first impression," he said....

My advice is pretty simple. Study hard, get killer grades, and learn your languages, both spoken and written. I should also tell them not to be a creep, but I figure either they are or they are not. But even these things do not (especially these days) mean you will get hired and they certainly do not mean you will be effective. For that there are the intangibles. My firm recently went through a massive interview process for a legal assistant and, though this may sound weird, that process is pretty much the same...

Lawyer who filed suit for a client today is sued himself
2009-07-08 01:47:00 Just now, a slip-and-fall case caught my eye--not because the actual case was surprising, but because of its interesting tie to another case filed on the same day. The first case is of a woman suing the Chicago Housing Authority for a slip-and-fall incident that occurred in July 2008, on the first floor of a CHA building. Georgia Jackson is alleging that she fell on an "unnatural accumulation of water that had leaked from the first floor ceiling, and formed a puddle on the first floor of the Lincoln Perry Annex Building Council." Hmm... A leaky ceiling in a CHA building. Who's surprised?... |
