FUCK LAWYERS

Not all of them are slime. It all depends on what type of Law they do.

I voted no only because my father is an Attorney but he also doesn't do divorce. He does mostly wills,probate and estate planning.

BBB

I read half a book once.....It was called "The Case Against Lawyers"

Got to pissed off to read the rest.

Screw'em

Yeah....I have some good friends who are attorneys....  why I specified MOST in the question

However, I have known far more slimball attorneys that good ones.  ....and that is on BOTH sides of criminal cases and both sides of EVERY other legal issue.

Hell...the worst slimball attorney I ever met was my attorney in my first divorce.  He told me he wasn't going to touch anything else til he got another rather large deposit...  after he got it...he withdrew the next day.  

Yup...I agree.

Most seem like slime at least half the time.

As for that particular POS....I tried to get a malpractice attorney to go after him....  but they were as bad or worse so figured he would get his somewhere someway someday.

I guess I just object to being crammed through a wringer just because he can.  THAT is frustrating....especially since I'm not the bad guy in all this as they are trying to paint me as. 

Zap, the attorney will try to screw you over just to watch you "snap" and do something stupid that give your bitchy ex an advantage...keep your cool.

My brothers wife filed a year ago and they are still bouncing back and forth with her demands that she changes every month......makes me wonder. I think she just wants to see my brother squirm and my mom thinks she just wants more time to see if can work out. I call B.S. on that one because my  ex sis in law is so full of hate, it makes me sick. I am th eonly one she speaks to along with my mom. I told her a few months ago that she needs to watch out because whatever she does to him, she does to me and my parents ..and siblings. She is not speaking to my sisters because they have not offered their support to her......long story.   

Make your own list of items you owned BEFORE you were married and make sure you can prove it was yours and get them......get a court order to go and remove your items from your house if she wont let you in....that is your right. My sister in law accused my brother of stealing from the IRS and I warned her that she was not financially educated in matters of the sort and neither was her feminazi attorney who just wanted her to get more from my brother so she could get a bigger percent from the psycho wife.

 I also know my brother. He wouldnt steal. Well, I was right. My brother had all his reciepts and documents to prove that she was wrong ....right in front of the judge and her bitch attorney. I would have paid money to be there to see her face when the judge told her that her accusations were unfounded...to find some other reason to divorce my brother. a month later, she and her attorney came up with some new reasons and new demands regarding property......she failed again. These reasons even made me laugh.

I dont know why she cant just say she wants out and does not love him anymore. But I guess that is too easy and she would not get as much money from him to see him shamed...that bitch....she isnt just trying to put my brother down..she is doing it to all of us.

sorry, I just needed to vent about this...have not done so in awhile.

Well....I have actually been thinking about this.  From what I hear...this guy is charging her about $250 an hour....and billing her 1/10 an hour for even mentioning her name to my attorny as they pass in the hall  LOL  So...maybe I should send over like two friggin garbage bags full of semi associated (or not even remotely associated for that matter...)   "documentations'  .......and let HIM sort it out  *snicker*    -- Edited by zap at 21:36, 2006-02-10

Here are the main points as brief as I can be. 1) I am convinced she has a mental disorder, bipolar maybe, as do most every one we know. I tried for about a year to get her to counseling and medical/psyciatric evaluation to no avail.  (Even the counselor told me to get out there was no way to make this work since she refused to even try.  Further...that there was absolutely nothing wrong with me.) 2) When I started the academy, she quit her job.  (tried to force me into a factory job) 3) Right in the middle of the academy, she claimed I pushed her while admiting to coming after me with a metal pipe and punching me in the throat.  (we are both martial artists...she knew what she was doing)  Therefore, I was arrested and charged with a DV that was later dismissed...but I was never able to recover my property. 4) I filed the divorce as soon as I could get an attorney.  After all...this happened the DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS! 5) I HAVE a court order for the property that will be a year old on March 4.  We are now waiting for the contempt hearing since they continued the final divorce hearing the middle of December, and have not set a new date. 6)  We have had settlement conferences, and hearings...but she refuses to concede anything even though so far the judge and GAL have landed on my side of the table. 7) What looks like "playing the game" is actually an attempt to put enough pressure on her side to force her to some resolution so I CAN GET THIS BEHIND ME.   ......and before you say it....this is NOT the woman I married.  She is now totally different.  The past year I was there I had no idea which personality I would be dealing with when I walked into the room.  I simply did all that I could do.  Had I cut and run earlier....I would not be in the middle of this BS dv thing trying to get on departments.

After re-reading this and some other posts....it sounds like a "typical" case really. Divorce is almost always a "he said, she said" with 2 sides to every story. Just like the telephone game we all used to play in grade school, stories change the more they are told.... I'm sure you have your points and so does she, but it doesn't change the "game" factor that always seems to happen in divorces, and no one likes to be the "bad guy/gal" in divorce....just turns out that way. Lawyers just get paid to paint a picture and hope the judge chooses their picture?

Still not the lawyers fault.....just doin a job, nothing more, nothing less. How they do the job depends on the people involved and how they deliver the details for the picture.... 

Yeah.....  I agree actually with both of you.

With a couple exceptions. 

1)  I KNOW the circumstances...and know I am NOT the bad guy. 

and

2)  I am STILL ALLOWED to be totally pissed off when some attorney wants documentation (that his client is under a court order to return ...yet has not done so a year later) which is the paperwork counterpart to blood, urine and stool samples from like 12 years ago......
