The Dersh: Why Trump Can't Get Good Lawyers

There may be other reasons as well for why lawyers are reluctant to defend Trump. He is not the easiest client, and he has turned against some of his previous lawyers, as some of his previous lawyers have turned against him. This will be a difficult case to defend and an unpopular one with many in the legal profession and in general population.

Why should he; all the charges so far or phoney

In the end, when he is found not guilty of all the BS he is being charged with, the prosecution should have to pay for all of his legal fees.
Who will pay for Hunter and Joe lawyers when their turn comes? Will they pay them out of the money get got from China, Russia, Ukraine? It will be interesting to see.

You do realize the lawyer problem stems from the fact that if they represent him then they get basically blackballed from big money going forward. There has been many lawyers that have spoken on this. A DC or NY firm will not end their their existence for a short time case. It’s been discussed that 60 million has been used in donations supposedly to pay lawyers fending off lawsuits, sounds pretty much like someone is getting paid

It’s funny the the reputation of not paying is highlighted but the people who promote this seem to be contractors . I’ve worked with contractors in some fashion most of my life and I’ve seen all the additional billing tricks one can imagine. What you may call short paying others may call adjusting for over billing

This shouldn’t surprise you being a lawyer and all but I once blew up at a lawyer for having the gall to call me to ask a couple BS questions on a case that could have easily waited until the next morning meeting. When he mentioned that he was running through some ideas while on the toilet I flipped my mind that the guy was charging me while taking a crap. This kind of thing is wasting my time but costing me as well. I would consider that needing adjustment, you say it is not paying the bills

From what I have read he is having to prepay for his lawyers now.
I’m not making any opinions on your post other than to point out that this is one of the three standard ways lawyers get paid. It’s called a retainer. This is of no significance.

quote:Sure. both lawyers and clients are guilty of that sort of thing. I could not begin to count the thousands of times that I have received a call from a client with some random thought that could easily wait until our scheduled meeting a week later, only to complain early the following month that they were billed for the time associated with that telephone call. I always advise saving up five or six questions, to justify the cost of a call. Few clients listen.

as to your specific example, if your attorney is actively thinking/strategizing about your case, does it really matter where he is sitting when he is doing so? if those thought processes benefit you, should they be free to you, just because he is not sitting at his desk?

I hope not. He is at war for Americans. Hopefully patriots support this war for him.
Posted on 8/3/23 at 8:36 am to AggieHank86
Of course it mattered. If it was important enough to call he could have waited till he wiped his arse and washed his hands, but like I mentioned it was just a waste of time for me on bs questions that could have been answered in 20 seconds at next meeting. The real problem it puts me on the defensive that how much time is being wasted and billed for by the firm. As to your point of client calling you about frivolous things, while that happens surely that meter is running on your end which accounts for how you make your money whereas it was costing me frivolously speaking. Major difference of outcome

Excellent job ignoring the other 4 paragraohs, including Dersh's personal experience defending Trump.

3/5 of that article was about 65 Project.
Like a bad lawyer, you ignored the major possibilities.

Typical far left wacko post. Are you ignorant or simply trying to mislead! Those are the only two options. It is no secret that once trump got a whiff of what Epstein was involved in he immediately banned Epstein from all Trump properties and cut off all ties. This was over a decade before Epstein was arrested.
That is common knowledge. So again, are you a completely ignorant buffoon or just another intellectually dishonest leftist?

The Left accuses Trump’s side of being a cult, but the truth is that it’s the Left, not the Right, consumed by a fundamentalist ideology that mandates compliance.
They believe they have the right to persecute and prosecute Americans for their ideology. They don’t. They believe they have the right to decide who they should vote for American voters. They don’t. They believe they have the right to tell Trump what he can and can’t say, they don’t.
They believe we all must go along with the insanity they’re foisting upon us. We don’t.

Uhhh I suspect his reputation of not paying his bills has more to do with it.
There are stories of one of his lawyers having to stop representing him because it was that or being forced out of his firm by the other partners. The left trying to destroy anyone who works for Trump is undeniably a big part of it.

Political? Yes and no on else who has committed the same crimes has been indicted or prosecuted over them. However, 3/4 of his indictments are from his own doing and, things like taking classified documents, are per the letter of the law a crime. He shouldn't be prosecuted for them since no one else has been but they are crimes.
The J6 one is complete bullshite.
