Scheiss is a juice pouch. My guess, Frierson is just taking the most annoying AUSA there and getting him TF out of the office.
Not acquainted. Not coming up on the SBN website either.
I thought AUSAs don't need be barred here.
IDK. But, when I was licensed in NVD I had to show my proof of Nevada Bar.
AUSAs get an exception in Federal Court to being part of the State Bar of Nevada. Some are; some are not. Obviously those that plan to practice in state court or go into private practice usually do join the state bar.
AUSAs don't need admission to the Nevada Bar- they are admitted in federal court automatically or on application. I was an attorney for the feds and was admitted in federal courts. However, they required that I be admitted ot the bar in two states that we practiced. Years ago I tried to get a transfer to California. This was when the Cali bar was a problem. I had to be admitted to the State Bar of California which is only by examination and also seek admission to the federal district court. For some reason, Nevada does not have this as a requirement. Simliar rules to California. I am only aware that the the federal courts in Nevada blocked someone on very rare occassions. Otherwise, it is come on down and come on in–no Nevada license-no problem. Same with Federal PD and same with immigration attorneys.
That's sort of correct. If you don't actually work for the federal government, you need a NV law license to practice in federal court. Otherwise, one must pro have vice in.
Any guesses as to why he cut up part of the shoes and put it in plastic bag under his couch? is there some logic there I'm missing or was he just in the mental state you might expect?
@12:25p – I'm just speculating, but possible to cause problems with matching the foot print of the shoe with the footprints in the area? That may be giving him too much credit – it could be because he didn't have a 2 gallon ziploc bag and had to cut them down to size to fit into a 1 gallon ziploc bag.
Keeping it as a memento, but at least had to try to alter them?
Planned to dispose of it but needed to hide it from his wife until he could smuggle it out of the house. He did not move with the alacrity that one would suspect of someone who just murdered someone but believe he thought that by keeping his calm demeanor that it would lessen the suspicion that it was him.
Because nobody would be so stupid. Probably setting up his "my wife set me up" defense.
Telles is about to execute his grand plan. He’s lulling the prosecution into complacency. They will be stunned when he takes the stand to refute their case. Very few prosecutors these days are ready to handle a defendant who takes the stand. They don’t know what he will say and so they piss their pants.
Yeah Rob has enough hubris to believe he could take the stand and beat 49,000,000,000,000:1 odds.
Ien winner of the Rob Telles case— Doug Crawford. No one talks about him anymore, and he has the defense “At least I didn’t kill anyone.”
One*
8:57, enough hubris and arrogance. A great combination.
Preserving a Johnnie Cochran defense.
If the shoe doesn’t fit you must acquit.
Would it be an ethical violation or a problem if I drafted the Joint Petition documents for my girlfriend's divorce? She has lived with me for a couple years now. Her and her ex-husband want to get a divorce now and asked me to draft the documents since they don't want to do it. Is that an ethical issue? I am just going to use the forms off the self-help center and have my girl file/email decree herself, so I doubt anyone would find out I did it anyways. I just want to make sure I am not violating any major rule or something.
Red flags all around this post friend. If it is so easy let them do it. If they don't want to I'd run. Fast.
I always wonder if comments like 9:40 PM are real.
I cant tell you how much money I have made off of clients that use those forms without an attorney. They inevitably forget to insert something, check the wrong box and without a questions, end up back in court.
Just do it and call it a day. A little eyebrow raising, but no actual conflict.
Buy the ghost writing CLE. Get your credit and learn something applicable to your situation.
Good luck with the divorcee.
No. Don't do it. First, you are in a risky situation engaging in sexual congress with another man's wife. Second, you are a lawyer when you act as a lawyer, and your ethical obligations apply. Just stroke a check to a family law attorney for your paramour and her husband. Let that competent professional check all the boxes and properly document her relationship with the parties.
Number one rule to live or die by: Never let your guard down with clients. Ever. They will eat your liver and cry how bad it tastes.
Nah. Do it. Absolutely no conflict. Relationship predated the representation. Rules are clear.
I know an attorney in another jurisdiction who did this and is now facing a bar complaint from his ex wife (who he helped with her prior divorce). Not worth it.
I wish I had time to explain – do NOT do it – surely one of them will turn on you, ghostwriting, prob of errors as family law fraught with gotchas, you sound like a SOLO which gives the NSB an excuse to prosecute you for anything, and when you and your GF break up (sadly its statistics) she may be the first in line to turn you in, pay a family law atty $500 to do it right, good luck
Call Bar counsel.
Do not call Bar Counsel. These are not the Rob Bare days. Just don't do this thing.
Thanks everyone for the opinions, though they are conflicting and caused a bit of an existential crisis for me.
What was the attraction to get into a relationship with a married person in the first place? Are there not enough worthy single people to date and shack up with? As for moving in with one another, I never understood the reason with moving in with someone if you are not wanting to get married. Is it strictly financial? Are you too lonely to live by yourself when you are dating? Is it too much to ask that people live on their own and support themselves while dating? In most cases, it turns into a mess when the relationship eventually dies and the separation begins.
@1004
Duh. She is married. They cant get married, thus the shack up.
Dont ghost write, just rep her. Get her the divorce and be done with it.
@1004 I met the young lady she represented to me she was no longer married. Turned out that was a lie, her husband is just an autist she used for immigration reasons and he thought she was a loyal wife. Why do I let her live in my house? I am an autist to and she is well … very attractive. Don't judge, I was a straight up incel law school, this is as good as I can do.
Lesson number one, then, friend, is never let a good piece ruin your life. Wait for a life partner, it is clear you are willing to be used for sexual gratification and whatever status bump you think an attractive woman will give you. It ain't worth it. You should leave while you haven't compromised your principles, career or lufe for a liar.
Seems to me that he is doing the using.
Good gosh, get out! She's going to gut you like a fish and eat your liver.
My guess is that its finally time to get the divorce done, because she wants to get married……to her roommate.
9:12 AM and others. Have an attorney colleague who is married and had a fling/affair not work related. He cut off the relationship with the woman which was apparently short in duration. She is threatening him with going to the bar and filing a complaint along with stalking and confronting his wife unless he continues the relationship. How does he handle something like that? Should he advise bar counsel about this. This a conondrum and wonder what others might suggest.
It's almost like adultery, although legal, is a really bad idea that leads to unpleasant consequences. Tell your friend to not commit adultery.
I was in a similar situation once. I just told her "do it bi#ch" and blocked her number.
9:52 AM–Not commit adultery? The deed was done. Just wonder if it is subject to discipline. After all this is Vegas. "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" yada yada yada. Just don't think Bar Counsel would get involved in something like this. Bar Counel is to protect the public. Where is the public harm? No attorney client relationship with fling.
No ethics rule regarding adultery if not a client. Not smart, but no rule violation.
No ethics violation so bar won't take action, but I hope she goes to the wife. Too many male attorneys in this town think they can get away with this type of behavior thanks to big egos and big paychecks (usually accompanied by small you-know-whats).
Moral of the story: If you are going to stray, use independent professionals. Remember, you are not paying for her time; you are paying her to leave and keep it under wraps. Using a paid professional is not really cheating.
Call the extortionist's bluff.
I am an avowed misogynist. (Ask my wife.) Yet, I detest leading some woman on in order to gain sexual favors. I am not talking about the one night stand at the annual meeting where, let's face it, you looked damn good, and she couldn't have any realistic long term expectations, but an actual affair that involves her developing feelings above the waist for the man. It sounds like fraudulent inducement:
1. Man makes representation that is false (oh, baby, I am falling for you, I am going to leave my wife, it's you, baby….)
2. Man knows this is bullshit.
3. Man shovels this bullshit to get laid.
4. Woman swallows the bs.
5. Woman suffers reliance damages, including loss of time, emotional pain, and, depending on your point of view, depreciation of her dating market value.
If I was on the jury, I would award damages to the woman.
My dear departed dad taught me that men should not sexualize women, except the wife, who you should oversexualize and shower with attention and affection. It is liberating, and also deprives women in the workplace of a potent tool against men. I can list a lot of older male attorneys who were completely snowed by comely younger female attorney. Really, I have seen older male attorneys melt in the face of a demure but flirtatious chuckle by a pretty babe. Grow up, man! (It also penalizes not-as-hot female attorneys who work hard and produce results but don't play the sexual game.)
Hey, 9:40, do NOT ghost anything for your girlfriend.
