No Soccer For You

  • Someone asked for more coverage about local trials. On Wednesday, a jury returned a defense verdict in a product liability case where a paralyzed plaintiff was seeking $44 million in damages from the manufacturer of a truck bed cover.  The successful defense team appears to have been led by Milwaukee based lawyers J. Ric Glass and Brian Cahill who associated with local counsel at Hall Jaffe & Clayton.  Representing the plaintiff were Bryan Lewis, as well as a team from Hutchison Steffen. [Courtroom View Network]

Ms. Hassanali should have hired Bob Eglet. He'd have asked for $750mil; and he'd have gotten it.

I thought Hutchinson hates trial lawyers, but not if his firm has a chance at a big verdict. Weird.

Haters gonna hate, but I will say that the short article by CVN sure did make it look like plaintiff should have won. This is what happens when insurance defense/corporate lawyers take on a PI case. Eglet probably would have gotten $50 million+. In fact, they probably would have settled as soon as the jury was seated. Poor plaintiff.

If the NV Bar doesn't pull Stubbs' license to practice law in this state…I'll be so disappointed. This creep has had battery charges filed (more than once)..fake bankruptcy, obstruction (all in the name of the Constitution OF COURSE)..what a joke this guy is. I can't believe anyone would hire an attorney with such a shady past. Oh and PRESENT! Ha!

"CREEP" is the perfect description of STUBBS. I was in the RJC the other day and he was walking around with his entourage of motorcycle clients in their tough guy attire. Does Stubbs really believe this makes him look like he is something special? He looks like a dumb-a$$.

FYI- The Anonymous that continually bashes on Stephen Stubbs is a convicted felony named James Kimsey. He and Stubbs worked together to help a 5 year old some years back (Stubbs knows nothing about Family Law) and then he and Kimsey worked together defending the bikers. They had a falling out and now Kimsey (in stalking fashion) continuous bashes him.

For those that want to see Kimsey's record, google "James Kimsey fraud" and look at the foot notes of the one Federal case that the 9th Circuit overturned for Kimsey. Kimsey has been convicted (which convictions were not overturned) for unauthorized practice of law, forgery, perjury, conspiracy to commit perjury, and offering a false instrument for filing.

Kimsey even sent the judge in the Bandido case an anonymous fax accusing Stubbs of all kinds of crazy stuff. The dumb-ass faxed it from Kinkos (which has cameras and stamps their location on all faxes) and Kinkos handed over the videos to the defense attorneys in the case. Kimset then (from the same Kinkos) faxes more crazy allegations to law enforcement.

I wonder what people would be saying if they weren't "anonymous". Stubbs is a good guy. He is eccentric and odd, but his heart is in the right place.

Stubbs is the BIGGEST crybaby in town. He files more police reports and bar complaints than you can count. Stubbs admitted to the media he did what he was charged with and no doubt will be held accountable. If I were him I'd be worried what my 1%er clients are thinkingā€¦ā€¦ā€¦Stubbs no likely will be giving up the goods on on of them to try and save his hide. Does anyone know what's happening with the case where he assaulted the women on tape in Coburn's office?

1:31: How do you figure? I have passed both the NV bar exam and a UBE state's bar exam. NV was significantly harder. Three days instead of two. Hour essays versus 1/2 hour essays. Same MBE of course. If NV ever did switch to the UBE, I would bet that Boyd's pass rate would go up. No more bizarre NV specific essays. Look at the NV pass rate overall for July 2014 – 57%. Cannot get much lower.

Hey Felon Stubbs – when you get to prison, they might be pulling down those magic underwear. If there's any justice, the bar will be pulling your license first. I feel very comfortable calling you a felon because you have actually been charged with felonies unlike others you have named. Karma is a bitch isn't it?

So, I'm late to the party here, but what's going on with Half Price Lawyers? Did they go out of business? That sucks for Glenn if they did. I don't know what he paid, but it's probably close to what Harris paid ($4 Million?) for Ticket Busters.

I'm pretty sure Truitt didn't buy Half Price Lawyers. He has a licensing agreement with Stokes for the right to use the name, logos, etc. Word has it Truitt's firm will be done within the next couple months. But I'm guessing Stokes will be looking for some other sucker to license the name to and we'll have to deal with more crappy ads.

PLEASE entertain us with a few. Stubbs has gone out of his way to target well respected and hard working professionals and deserves everything he gets. What he did in Boulder City to the former Chief of Police is beyond disgusting. The Chief was above reproach and Stubbs when the Chief wouldn't kiss his ass went after him with a vengeance. Stubbs did the same thing to former councilwoman and attorney Linda Strickland. I have no doubt that this is just the beginning of Stubbs demise. Have you seen the video of Stubbs assaulting women in attorney Mark Coburn's office? It shows exactly who Stubbs really isā€¦ā€¦. a major POS.

I would like to state very clearly that President Bush is my hero. He is one of the most noble men to ever walk this planet and his presidency has been brilliant (but not as brilliant as my absolute hero – Ronald Reagan). I am proud to say that Mr. Bush is my President and leader.

On the other hand, the ACLU is the most dispicable organization to ever be placed on the earth. To even place the ACLU in the same sentence as Mr. Bush is a grave insult to all Americans. Do not pretend that the ACLU has even a touch of nobility and don't dare place it as high as Mr. Bush on any level of integrity. Viva la Bush!!!

Stubbs,
Why didn't you enlist tough guy? Why didn't you defend the Constitution you hide behind?
You purposely attacked Councilwoman Linda Strickland who has two sons that are Officers in the Navy.Both of the Strickland's sons are Naval Fighter Pilots flying combat missions off aircraft carriers in the middle east and Chief Finn who served in the Navy working on the flight decks of several aircraft carriers. You are a pathetic, vile and narcissistic human being. You want to get paid to hide behind the Constitution instead of serving our country in defense of it. Typical coward who would rather sue than serve.

In some respect I agree with you. What most of you do not understand is the tens of thousands of dollars Stubbs costs the taxpayers in the bogus lawsuits he files. He deserves this "egg on his face" and his credibility now in any case will be called in to question. He was called out for lying in a Federal case by the Judge, he lies constantly in cases he is involved in and in this matter he did exactly what he is charged with. Too bad for him that his client put him under the bus and ratted him out. He deserves everything and more based on his own bad acts.

The people on this Stubb's facebook are a bunch of little followers that he has hand picked because they will post adoring messages much of the time. No one challenges his stupidity, the fact that he looks like a dork or is the laughing stock of the of the legal world in Las Vegas. Yes, he adores attention.

It's hard to imagine that he would not be someone's toy in prison, as the bowtie and goofy pasty-white Mormon boy look paints him a sure victim of a bulbous pipe. Repeatedly. The nice men behind bars would fight for a chance to "befriend" our favorite little turd. I don't think his biker friends would be willing to protect him or pay for the prosthetic ass that may be required soon.

Normally I would think that he wouldn't get prison time for the alleged crime (while he admitted that he notarized the GPA, he did say that the client authorized him to do it), but he has stepped on so many toes that he could get the max. In that case, I hope he has some friends with his biker clients so that he doesn't end up someone's girlfriend in the joint.
