It would be helpful to know a little more about the request. Are you looking for someone to put in your contact list or do you have a specific judgment that needs collection. What type of judgment against what type of debtor? There are specialized firms in SF and LA if you think there is are issues around hidden assets or accounting fraud etc. too.
8:08 a.m. here. It’s a specific judgment that needs collection (several of them, actually). The debtor has a criminal confession of judgment against them.

If today was a valid representation of how things will go for the next month, at least I don’t have to worry about parents speeding in the school zone. Double parking, flipping u-turns, and traveling slower than Mitch McConnell, on the other hand… holy hell Deborah, open the door, shove the little crotch goblin out, close the door, and drive off. Move your ass, provided you keep it below the limit.
Oh, I know. This isn’t my first rodeo. This isn’t even in my first dozen first-day of elementary school dropoff rodeos. And yet, somehow, every year, I wake up in hope that this year will be the year that parents develop a shred of competence. I can forgive the kindergarten parents. This may be their first rodeo, and it’s okay for them to park and walk for the first day. For all you other SOBs, though, kindly get your shit together sooner rather than later.
This. As someone who drops off their kids every day at school, there is no dumber person then a parent in the drop off line. The worst are the parents that have to stop their car (literally anywhere, middle of the road, opposite turning lane, anywhere) and get out to walk their kid to the gate. Its ten feet. Your kid can handle it.

Is it common for 18 U.S.C, Section 2422(b) – Coercion and Enticement of a minor to be plead down to misprision of a felony or is that only if you are a former assistant DA and mommy and daddy pay for chesnoff for you
Maybe he/she went there in their DA capacity to talk to the minor, return them to their parents/guardian and explain all the bad things that could happen or they had seen happen to others. Basically, performing a community service. Possible? Surely an ADA would not be so stupid to be caught in a sting operation that obviously ADA’s prosecute and advise on?
Oh. did not know that the DA fired him. that is new evidence. it seems obvious that one would fire someone that is so stupid to fall for a sting that the entire dept was likely briefed on and had been ongoing for decades. If they are that dumb they likely are too stupid to prosecute anyone.
fair warning to the lawyer that takes up the wrongful dismissal case, save one of your challenges for me. Anyone that is that stupid deserves to be fired.
She was an escort going unaccompanied to a seedy motel and did not walk when the perp turned out to be a 17 year old boy. But its the hotel’s responsibility to protect the hooker?
Correct, Clantz’s lawsuit states that she was working as a private escort, and her attacker, Ryan Heider, was the client who used the platform to contact and hire her.
Still, going to THAT location? Yeesh.

What happened to being off of school from Memorial Day until Labor Day? It worked fine for generations.
Teachers are slowly changing the schedules so they only work four days a week. There are more half days and “teacher development” days on Friday now than ever before. In order to accommodate these three day weekends and still comply with state mandatory minimum attendance requirements they have to make the school year longer.
“Teachers are slowly changing the schedules so they only work four days a week”
…As CCSD students place somewhere around 49th last in education among the 50 states.
(or 54 states according to Biden)
More time in school means more money. For all the power brokers involved.

56 million for the bad acts of third parties. Maybe it’s time to revisit joint and several liability in Nevada. If casinos and ambulances keep getting hit with multi-million dollar judgments for things that aren’t their fault we may find ourselves without an economy or viable emergency healthcare.
We have to ask ourselves why are we seeing more attorney ads than any other place in the country? What is going to happen when residents can no longer afford car insurance or businesses can not get insurance and go self insured? A parking lot accident in Nevada becomes a million dollar policy limits demand. How long can this gravy train sustain itself? It i estimated that 30 per cent or more of drivers have no insurance or minimum limits. UM/UIM umbrellas are either too expensive or non existent. Eventually the market will address and correct these problems.
That’s what the insurance industry wants you to think. But their own internal data shows that jury verdicts and settlements account for 1.5–2% of the total personal auto premium — cumulatively, over a decade. The biggest culprit is inflation, comprehensive collision damage, and natural disasters (which cause a ton of comprehensive collision damage, i.e. wildfires and floods).
The jury in Kimball’s case found the restaurant 50% liable and Caesar’s 50% liable. Guessing the restaurant had a $1M policy. So, Caesar’s is left holding the bag.
The REAL question is – what could Caesar’s and their insurers have settled for to AVOID trial? My guess is way less – but they gambled, and lost. Now they’ll blame “trial lawyers” and “billboard attorneys” for their own miscalculation.
This is the problem though. The restaurant is 50% liable? Caesars is 50% liable? What percentage of the liability belongs to the people who actually beat him up who were not restaurant or casino agents? What percentage of liability belongs to the plaintiff who fafo’ed? How are these two bystander entities left holding 100% of the bag for people being stupid and violent?
I mean I’m sure that was Kimball Jones’ angle, but the worst part of the fight and damage occurred outside the establishment. Does security have a duty to follow around bad actors when they leave the casino?
FFS, all of you people are lawyers? And yet you are deciding what and how the jury should have ruled without having seen all the evidence? Without having heard all the witnesses?
Meh. Insurance companies have gotten pretty aggressive with their gambles over the last few years, dragging riskier and riskier cases to trial rather than settling. How much could Caesar’s have settled this one for? I bet it was less than half of the jury verdict. $10-15M probably would have gotten it done. Instead, they gambled. And lost.
The cynic in me says it’s because it really isn’t their money. If they lose, raise premiums. Blame it on crazy jury verdicts instead of criminally misvaluing your case. Not a PI attorney, but what is the accountability if an insurer/claims handler screws this up over and over?
“If casinos and ambulances keep getting hit with multi-million dollar judgments for things that aren’t their fault…”
Sure, but is that what happened here?
The video played in trial showed one of the attackers with an arm around a bouncer immediately before the bouncer became violent. It also showed a “hand off” of the injured guy to the same guy who had an arm around the bouncer earlier – this guy punches the plaintiff in the face 1 second later. Then after knocking him unconscious and stomping on his head, the bouncers and attackers are on video giving fist bumps and bro hugs (apparently while the injured guy is laying inside the Flamingo doors motionless and no one is rendering aid).
Caesars and Chayo then lied to the police and claimed they were unaware of an altercation.
Maybe I’m missing something, but this doesn’t seem like one of the “aren’t their fault” scenarios you are suggesting.

In a past life, I was involved in broadcast marketing. It is sort of stunning to me how much better Morgan and Morgan’s radio/tv ads are than our local PI firms. Their approach is totally different than the local firms. All of their ads follow a simple format: (1) Problem (2) Legal Standard (VERY simplified) (3) Solution. That’s it. And I know this is effective because this is the formula that almost every successful broadcast ad campaign follows.
I’ve always thought it was strange that local PI firms differentiate themselves. The framing that all of them seem to have accepted is that every firm is a different kind of attorney. “I’m the attorney that’s ready to go clubbin’!” (Naqvi) “I’m the attorney driving around town in the batmobile!” (Dimopolous) “We’re the father-son attorney nice guys driving around practicing law and doing home teaching in a humble, beat up 1990 Chevy’s pickup!” (Harris) “I’m the attorney whose hair has historical eras and who will not take more money that you receive!” (Powell) “I’m the attorney with the GOAT jingle that is seared into your subconcious!” (Lerner).
Do these firms not see how Morgan and Morgan is just trouncing them on the airwaves?
True, but the real problem in my view is that the ads are demeaning the profession.
– but then so is SBN with the everyone gets in bar exam. Maybe it’s time to retire so I retain memories a once great profession.
i think its easy for you to think that because you are in the profession. i am not sure it lands the same to the average joe who doesnt know law like we do. i imagine to most average people, seeing or hearing morgan ads is just another atty advertisement.
OP here. Your comment is wild. Neither I, or John Morgan, have miscalibrated the “average” person. That’s my point. This problem/solution ad campaign framing is something even Freddy Rumsen instinctively understood. But lawyers “get” it. Sure.
Does anyone have any recommendations for an attorney to pursue judgments? Liens, garnishments, etc.?

FWIW, the first day/week of school is always more congested and slower than normal.
Oh, I know. This isn’t my first rodeo. This isn’t even in my first dozen first-day of elementary school dropoff rodeos. And yet, somehow, every year, I wake up in hope that this year will be the year that parents develop a shred of competence. I can forgive the kindergarten parents. This may be their first rodeo, and it’s okay for them to park and walk for the first day. For all you other SOBs, though, kindly get your shit together sooner rather than later.
And guess what, every public school drop off is really this disorganized.
This. As someone who drops off their kids every day at school, there is no dumber person then a parent in the drop off line.

look up the other cases, all of these get pled down to nothing, we don’t care about this crime apparently
What actions led to the charge and reduction in charge?
Assistant DA got caught trying to meet a 15 year old decoy in sting operation
Maybe he/she went there in their DA capacity to talk to the minor, return them to their parents/guardian and explain all the bad things that could happen or they had seen happen to others. Basically, performing a community service. Possible? Surely an ADA would not be so stupid to be caught in a sting operation that obviously ADA’s prosecute and advise on?
Good point. And to think the DA fired him for doing his job. What a travesty
Oh. did not know that the DA fired him. that is new evidence. it seems obvious that one would fire someone that is so stupid to fall for a sting that the entire dept was likely briefed on and had been ongoing for decades. If they are that dumb they likely are too stupid to prosecute anyone.
not too dumb to get a slap on the wrist though, at least until he does it again
fair warning to the lawyer that takes up the wrongful dismissal case, save one of your challenges for me. Anyone that is that stupid deserves to be fired.
I think he is still going to do 36 months in federal prison.
Does anyone else think that if you call an escort to meet you at the “Capri Motel on Fremont Street”, you get what you get?
she should get put in prison
Does anyone else think that if you are an escort going to the “Capri Motel on Fremont Street”, you get what you get?
The escort was the victim. Her 17-year-old client stabbed her and left her for dead.
sounds like she is a pedo preying on kids to me
He said he was 22.
and?
She was an escort going unaccompanied to a seedy motel and did not walk when the perp turned out to be a 17 year old boy. But its the hotel’s responsibility to protect the hooker?

If only there was a system or procedure where these important questions could be fleshed out.
Perhaps something where the casino and restaurant have a chance to argue that they shouldn’t be liable, and there could be arguments opposing that.
Maybe we could even get people to listen to those arguments and then decide what the result would be?
But no, it sounds like none of that ever happened.
Doud v Hilton has been the law for over 30 years (unless they overruled that one too). My question is how will Cafe Modelo impact the judgment here?
I am a defense lawyer. Sounds from the story however that the security guards were protecting/friendly with the other assailants.
I mean I’m sure that was Kimball Jones’ angle, but the worst part of the fight and damage occurred outside the establishment. Does security have a duty to follow around bad actors when they leave the casino?
are they on property? then yes. My guess is the security brief is to secure the entire property.
It wasn’t the acts of a third party
Yes it was. The allegation is that they didn’t stop the acts of third party bad actors. Ergo, third party bad actors.
Sounds like Caesars is liable for their own failure to act when there was a duty to do so.
I think these verdicts are only beginning. You can point to all kinds of factors, but the biggest difference is juries.
True. People of conscience would hold individuals accountable for their own actions. Guess we lack people of conscience in this town.
FFS, all of you people are lawyers? And yet you are deciding what and how the jury should have ruled without having seen all the evidence? Without having heard all the witnesses?
Bro we make comments without even reading the article.
Meh. Insurance companies have gotten pretty aggressive with their gambles over the last few years, dragging riskier and riskier cases to trial rather than settling. How much could Caesar’s have settled this one for? I bet it was less than half of the jury verdict. $10-15M probably would have gotten it done. Instead, they gambled. And lost.
