Looking for a Real a-hole Lawyer

Hello. I'm looking for a real jackass to paper opposing counsel like ticker tape reigning down on the Mercury 7. I want to depose their mother's neighbor. I want motions about the motions on the other motions. They didn't pick up the phone. They didn't send an email. They just filed a complaint and informed me I had violated XYZ law but could quickly remedy it of I just did what they told me. I don't, to say the least, react well to threats. So rather than settle, I am insisting on my day in court. But I want us to be REALLY prepared for that day. I intend to tie up every mother ******* attorney and paralegal in that stinky office until they are under mounds of paper and they oh so wished that had called me and said, "hey, now what's going on?" But they didn't. So their client will be homeless and bankrupt. Excellent job there Counselor.

I could do it myself but I don't want a fool for a client. I could pay one of the Several attorneys I use for various things but honestly they would cost too much and some of these kind, decent people are often more concerned about what their colleagues think of them in case they decide to run for judge one day than they are about little old me.

I'm looking for a hungry cocky a-hole little shite to scorch some fricking earth. Think Roy Cohn but not as nice. Google his picture. Does he look nice? He isn't. Might it be you? I'm not looking for a law review article. Just tell me why you are the a-hole who will find people to sue using inventive and creative causes of action.

Tell me your hourly rate. This is no joke.

Signed,
Pollyanna

She got angry. She took out an ad.

Wait until someone quotes her $125 an hour, with an initial estimate for answering pleadings, discovery and the pre-trial motions she is preapproving - probably $7500 (conservatively). Going to trial, probably gets close to $20k.

That's on a very tight budget, BTW.

THEN, she'll reconsider whether or not her goals are reasonable.

If she is looking for an a-hole, she probably has a-hole money

A lawyer would have to be a fool to have someone like that as a client.

She is asking for a lawyer, not a paralegal or law clerk. The rest of your numbers I can agree with.

Yeah, I know buddy - I'm thinking of the solo/small shop guy who wants/needs the work/money - that's a conservative estimate - and probably below what's available in the market in the city or even JP - but, maybe a Houma or North Shore guy.

Hell, maybe $200 is a lot closer to reality than folks in the hinterlands of the state want to believe.

Absolutely correct. I've stopped dealing with clients who want to litigate based on "principle". They are never, ever happy.

Valid dispute? Fine. Different interpretations of a contract? No problem. Business partners breaking up? Sure, let's get that done. But once I hear "its not about the money I want to make it difficult on them" I slide a withdrawal letter across the table for them to sign and give them their file.
