I don't really care about their offices or helipad.
I just wish they'd ban legal service ads from billboards.
And TV and the Internet and fricking everywhere. It is a constant one up competition bt these guys paid for with lawsuits on the backs of those of us that carry normal policy limits of coverage When we have a generally minor accident with those that carry the minimum, but non of this has anything to do with LA having one of the highest cost for auto insurance

THIS EXACT scenario happened after a family member, on my policy, bumped a car on Nicholson. Insurance attorney said they were going to "pay her to go away" and I pitched a major fit and demanded they fight the suit under threat of pulling my corporate business from the insurer. They ended up going to trial and we didn't even have to put on a case. Judge ruled for us after the plaintiff's witnesses lied all over themselves. Plaintiff was also ordered to pay our attorney's fees since they declined a settlement offer earlier in the process (frickers didn't tell me they tried to settle). It was the most satisfying day I have had in a long time.
Who was the judge? Must not have been one of the ones part of the game.
How did you get attorney fees?

That ain't happening, ever. Juries, would, of course, put a stop to that nonsense. Of course, the elephant in the room is that litigation is good for plaintiffs lawyers and defense lawyers. Neither want the jury trial limit lowered because it would result in a lot less business for both.
Why wouldn't a defense lawyer want this? Clients wouldn't get strong armed into quick settlement because judge would just squeeze 50k from their client and they would get the work in defending the case.

But if the 2 houses were dilapidated, why wait so long to tear down the houses when he's owned the properties for 10 years.
Why? Because he owns them and can do or not do whatever the eff he wants to with them.
Like, I don't know...knock them down when he's ready to build his new office on them? Just a guess, though.

A net reduction in litigation is a net reduction in billable hours.

Because more of them would be exposed as paper-pusher introverts who don't know how to try a case in a courtroom? Can't rely on your firm's one litigator when everyone has trial.

These guys are signing massive amounts of clients each month. I heard the big boy signs about 375 new cases a month and the others mentioned sign about 200 each new cases a month. Let that sink in. Major business. They are steeling $10,000 - $20,000 dollar claims all day long and might get 2-3 really big settlements a month.
Not only a great living for the attorneys but doctors, chiropractors, and Physical Therapists getting paid handsomely.
For the clients. It's just a way for them to make a couple extra dollars and blow at the casino or car dealer
