who represents Mesquite in the Williams lawsuit?
Towards the end of the article it says Williams found “the attorney representing the city, Jorge ‘Coco’ Padilla, made misrepresentations to the court . . .” ouch
Looks like he graduated in 2022. Clerked for the NV Appeals court then a federal judge (per his firm’s info) and is now practicing in employment law. “Might” have 2 years of actual litigation experience. Interesting choice for a municipality to rely on.
ok, be nice.
Coco is a good kid. What partner hung him out to dry?
Good kid or not – Williams’ order says he improperly cancelled depos the day before they were scheduled and misrepresented that productions had been made (when they were, in fact, not made). This is not just on the partner as even a 1st year should know misrepresenting facts is a no-no.
Williams’ order, in fact, expressly says that productions were made on the dates they were represented to have been made. Now, maybe you feel the production was inadequate, or insufficient, or late, or otherwise improper. That does not convert telling the court about the dates into a misrepresentation. And that’s a problem with letting the party write the order.
I know him. Great guy, smart, hard working and active in the community. He will do well.
I know Coco as well. Graduated Boyd in ’22 then clerked for two years. So he’s been at O’Hagan Meyer for what, around a year at most?
Sounds to me like he was put up to be the punching bag by whoever is actually mismanaging this case. If Coco did make a misrepresentation to the court (sounds like that is not certain) I fully believe it is because Coco trusted some bad information.
I’m not making excuses for Coco, but I certainly think he deserves a large measure of grace.
To be clear, the Court did not find that Coco made misrepresentations. If you read the transcript from the 05/28 hearing – the only person claiming misrepresentations is opposing counsel, PHILIP J. TRENCHAK. “Somehow” it ended up in the order as a finding of the court. Interesting.
For a second year, he actually gave a pretty good oral argument.
Williams signed the order though, yes?
why are you obsessing this much over it lol
Looks like Mesquite fired the attorneys that Williams went off on. Hired Wilson Elser in their place
Just a reminder that I believe this is the second judge who said Mesquite is breaking the law and ignoring orders in the last month.

If there ever was a cry for help, there it is.
what in the world
I wonder if someone should reach out to him. He seems to be having a mental break. Or, alternatively, this could be someone impersonating Ty. Ty’s Linkedin doesn’t show he worked for Cotton.
someone i know just suspended. I saw it on Bar website. I reached out to her and she told me I did not know what I was talking about, that there could be no suspension without a hearing, and to mind my own business. So reach out but your hand might get slapped.
Doesn’t it show he works for cooper levenson, which he hasn’t worked for in a while.
The email address listed on the Nevada Bar website for Ty is “tymaynarich@gmail.com” — not the email address listed on the Complaint, which seems to be someone impersonating Ty.
An awful lot of trouble to register for an e-filing account with the court and pay a filing fee just to file a hoax complaint.
I would highly doubt that.
“I would settle for a trial by combat but that is also now illegal and I cannot beat up an old man because I respect the elderly.” That is some wild stuff…
Yes it’s Koppe who lives to be as unreasonable as possible but this seems like it’s been a long time coming.

the settlement conference was September 5, 2024 so things have been brewing.
Not a chance in the world this was randomly assigned to Dept. 31.
I wouldn’t wish Dept 31 on anyone , not even this plaintiff.
#TeamCostcoChicken.
This can’t be real.
He’s having a mental break of some kind.
Is this the same guy that had an issue with a DA’s daughter at some point.
What was the issue?
Yes. And others.
I worked with Ty on some cases a few years back. He seemed quite normal. I hope this is an elaborate prank.
What some people call an elaborate prank other people would call a crime.
This seems consistent with past behavior I’ve heard about. I hope Cotton brings this to the bar, I’m worried for this guy.
