I Get Knocked Down

  • Law

  • Say what you want about Stephen “Bowtie” Stubbs, but the guy continues to get clients and publicity. This time Stubbs is representing the man at the center of a video showing five Metro officers struggling to restrain him/beat him at the Vanguard Lounge in June. [Las Vegas Sun; Fox5Vegas]
  • Proving they don’t understand a thing about their consumers, the Nevada Transportation Authority gave the ok to 9 taxi limo companies to charge customers additional fees when they use the new “Ride Genie” app. [RJ]
  • The District Attorney’s office found a July 2013 shooting by Metro officers to be reasonable and justified. [8NewsNow]
  • Nevada Attorney General candidates Ross Miller and Adam Laxalt have agreed to have their first debate on September 20 in Las Vegas. [RJ]

Who cares if he keeps getting clients if he is working for free. I once had a fairly wise, older attorney tell me that it doesn't matter how busy you are if you are not getting paid. Everyone in the legal field wants to claim how busy they are, which is probably true, but it doesn't mean anything if you are not getting paid.

BTW, Stubbs needs all the (paying) clients he can get so that he can pay the judgment that will surely be obtained against him by Solomon Dwiggins.

Stubbie has had the video on his Youtube site, so it isn't surprising that he has a client. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qfs3YLE21p8

Check out the Complaint against Stubbs that was just filed by Mark Coburn's office in A-14-705254-C. I am sure it is embellished just a little bit, but what a great read, "Stubbs then opened the closed door of … Dorfman and said he would 'fucking hurt him [Dorfman]' and raised his cane as if to hit Dorfman …"

Does this stuff happen anywhere besides Las Vegas, and why does Stubbs have a cane? Is he pulling a Hafter with the cane routine (not to mention other similarities between the two).

Stubbs needed the cane because he was in a car accident and physical fight thereafter so I heard on the grapevine.

I don't feel like pulling the Complaint from DAP. What's the story behind this lawsuit?

Stubbie's butt clown wife is probably talking up her hubby's exploits in getting beat up…

They weren't taxi companies. They were limousine companies.

Looks like Lewis & Roca is a leaky ship….someone trying to sabotage Adam Laxalt leaked his performance review to Ralston. http://www.ralstonreports.com/blog/ag-hopeful-laxalt-was-described-law-firm-evaluation-train-wreck-borderline-incompetent-practice

That is a horrendous review. Surprised he wasn't fired.

Did Mr. Laxalt not have any expectation of privacy with regards to his performance evaluation? Can an employer such as the former Lewis Roca Rothgerber give access to an employee file without any recourse?

I suspect they will get sued by Laxalt. This is highly confidential, non-public material, as repeatedly noted by the "FOR AECC ONLY" in bold. Whoever leaked this will be fired and LRR will pay Laxalt some money.

LRR involved in unsavory activity, no way. That is like saying Fire Fly and Tacos and Beer have a clean kitchen!

This is a "fuck you" from Ralston to Laxalt for not agreeing to appear on his show.

Anyone know what's going on with Jan Paul Koch? Phone lines are not working.

I do not know Mr. Koch, and I do not mean this to be offensive, but does anyone know why a guy with the fist name of Jan, and the middle name of Paul, does not just go by Paul? I know it is the year 2014, and we are supposed to be super-progressive, but I have to believe there was a lot of teasing as a kid. Anyone know the back story here?
