That custody battle is just awful. No doubt the father argued if the children were allowed to relocate with their mother to Sweden, he wasn't going to see them again. The trial court ignored him and look where he is now. Just sickening. It's really sad the supreme court upheld the trial court. The entire case was and is a complete failure.

What's the low-down on the recent mass exodus from ATM&S? Top billers are now gone and many offices are empty.
(1) It would be news if there weren't a mass exodus from ATMS. The constant churn over there is insane. Every time I have a case against them it ends up being against 7 different lawyers. Bonds is the only one that made it.
(2) Can anyone believe ATMS still exists? Like I pronounced them dead 2 decades ago.
Isn't Bonds running the place now? Twenty-three lawyers is nothin' for them. Thought they had 40+ back long ago when they were a contender. How can they pay rent on that building with so few bodies? @12:10, I cannot believe they are subsisting.
Their old building on W. Charleston is still vacant, after the partners stovepiped it to the bank after negotiating a release of the personal guarantees of the partners.
I've gone against some inept and unpleasant lawyers over there, but Bonds actually seems competent and OK to deal with. I'm surprised he stuck it out and didn't defect.
@2:52 here. I was referencing that building up off North Durango. Heard they rented out 2 entire floors; one of the floors is now vacant and the other is a sparsely occupied. Talk is that Bonds was left to hold the bag after the other partners retired. Maybe he has not defected because he is unable to?
323 here. I was just referencing the sketchy abandonment of the W. Charleston Building in favor of the floors on Grand Montecito. Perhaps they are planning the same thing. Dead stick, kind of like this blog.

The bashing of Siegel Suites
A few months ago I had a conversation with a Seigel manager (I don't represent him or Siegel). Because of the moratorium the number of non-paying tenants were skyrocketing. Rental assistance was late, and difficult. Seigel in LV was losing money. The rental assistance, to my understanding, did not provide coverage for future rents.
Yes, the folks in the RJ article are desperate and sympathetic. Yes, the Seigel suites are one step above living on the street. But the company rents to those who could not obtain housing elsewhere and by reason thereof accepts a high risk of loss through non-payment, damages or intra-tenant difficulties.
They take advantage of our piss poor social safety net and our affordable housing crisis to prey on our neediest families. Their units are dirty, infested with bed bugs, and dangerous. I have zero sympathy for that company. The POS politicians should be doing something about our housing issues rather than allowing companies like that to exist.
So they shouldn't exist? And then what? Where do their tenants go? Are you going to open a low-income housing complex for the displaced Siegel residents?
@12:19p wants Siegel Suites to not exist so that he, and the rest of us, can pay higher taxes so the county or state can provide free housing for the unhoused/homeless/PC-name-du-jour.
12:19 misses the point: the units are filthy because of the people who live there. Siegel Suites heroically provides housing to the people who would otherwise be at dangerous shelters or on the street.
As for POS politicians: Poor 12:19 hasn't yet figured out they do not care, they never cared, and they never will care. It's the private sector that solves problems; it's the public sector that creates them.
@12:19
Two thoughts.
1. Siegal didn't make the tenants poor. Siegal did put up the capital, effort and took on the risk of building housing, probably with a personal guarantee somewhere along the way.
2. Maybe you will offer your spare bedroom to a Siegal tenant who can't pay rent?
I agree with 3:48. Businesses that serve low income people at very low prices provide lower quality service than those that serve higher income people at higher prices. I'm certainly uninterested in the work, but I understand what the economics of it are.
At least you won't find bed bugs at the Siegel's other places; Pinkbox and Bagelmania.

Why does OJ need to take legal action to relieve him from paying the Goldmans?
He's done an excellent job over more than two decades in paying almost none of the judgment.
He's a master at avoiding paying the judgment. He needs no help from the system, or anyone else, to empower him not to pay the judgment that he never pays on for over 20 years.
I wanted to start a new discussion. Why do you all come to the blog and comment? I'll go first. I get very frustrated at work and with Judges and clients. So I come here to vent a little. I rarely learn anything but I enjoy the smarta** comments. So for me, I guess just a little diversion with my fellow attorneys. Anyone else care to share?
Entertainment and humor only. There are some genuinely funny folks that post here. People need to lighten up and just appreciate the absolute absurdity and zaniness of our town, our state, our profession, our clients, and the colorful characters in our legal community.
I come here to learn what is really going on at my firm. They are very secretive about virtually everything. It's rare, but I have learned things here.
As for most of the rest of the blog, it's a regular reminder that many attorneys are far more unhappy than I am.

Their website shows 9 partners and 14 associates.

Its been that way FOREVER over there.

Oh goody, the Stan Hunterton hater is back. Stan really must have done a number on him. Makes you wonder where the Marisa Border guy is.
Who is Marisa border?
I'll do you one better…Why is Marisa border?

@3:54 this is what we feared. And it explains so much
