Let’s keep the downvotes going for a new record. We have 14 from yesterday. Don’t make me say it all “So how’s the … .”

In the spirit of Cliff Clavin and who are three people who have never been in my kitchen, I look at these probate commissioner candidates from the Probate Hearing and think “Who are 4 people who I never see in probate court?”

Yeah.
Because the 8DC is so worried about gender balance.

To the counsel who was an anal lesion in our discussions (again) today, there is a reason why you have been with 7 different firms in the time that I have known you (including us formerly being co-workers): people do not like you and cannot work with you (either internally or externally). I have tried in the past to respond to your antics in a gently nudging way that perhaps this was not suiting your purposes. You apparently know better and believe that your irascibility is serving your purposes as people keep deciding that they have had enough of you. Best wishes.
1:54 I appreciate the venting and especially like the creative use of “anal lesion” haha but did u tell this person this? Just curious if you’re hoping they run across it on the blog?
Probably a good guess but they wrote it so specifically if the person did read it here they would know it. It’s guess just venting. Probably not a productive use of my time to try to understand the psychology of anon blog posters.
This blog is a pressure release valve for a number of attorneys, an opportunity to vent and commiserate without committed hari kari. There is nothing specific in that post that leads me to one specific attorney. I could name 20 attorneys who immediately popped into my head.
I am the OP. I have told this person gently and in decreasing methods of gentility such advice. Deaf ears for many years. I keep hoping reason will prevail but how many times have I told clients that one cannot reason with the unreasonable. It just makes life unnecessarily difficult.
There are certain attorneys who when I draw them as OC, I immediately tell my client they are going to end up doubling the cost of the case. I had a case once with a really reasonable client who lived out of state. Mom and the kids lived here. Mom hired an attorney I had dealt with in the past and I let me client know how bad she was. My reasonable client gave me authority to make mom an offer. Mom’s attorney refused. After a round of boilerplate written discovery that was 100% copied from another case (it inquired on issues that were not relevant to our case), mom’s attorney called me and made me the exact offer I had made her 3 months prior. All in the interest of billing every dime and then bailing on the client. Completely unethical.
My favorite is these family law attorneys who actively direct their clients to refuse to come to an agreement during the court mandated mediation just so they can bill more after. Sleezy as hell. That’s what the bar should be cracking down on.

4 people dissatisfied with their current employment and looking for a cushy cash in and to get some of that gubment cheese.
It will be Russ. Prior to running a trust company, Russ was in probate court every week.
Yeah, didn’t he do probate at H&S for like 10 years? Dude’s got experience.
I honestly didn’t even realize that he wasn’t still at H&S. Man’s been doing this kind of work for like 20 years, including trials.
Jen Willis has also been at H&S for years. She is smart but very intense.
Gender balance. They need a female down there so won’t be another white male. Is Russ LDS? Person has to also be LDS.
Yeah.

This sounds like a self-awareness issue.

I’m guessing that the OP did not tell the person this as they expected the person would not be receptive to the message
