The problem is he’s a legit sociopath. He doesn’t recognize good from bad, or normal from abnormal. Every piece of evidence he entered worked directly against him; recording the kids covertly, video of him digging through her phone without consent to show his number was blocked, one thing after another. I’m just relieved the judge saw it for what it was and let him know what he thought about it.
Glad it went well for you. You'd hope this would slow him down in the future, but ....
I believe there’s a six or twelve month moratorium on bringing the case to court again following a ruling, but you’re right, I suspect he won’t learn this time either. He’s an idiot with means and he probably won’t have trouble finding another lawyer eager to cash his check. It makes me wonder though, do attorneys talk about these kinds of cases in closed circles, and maintain some sort of informal “do not represent” list? It was clear this one didn’t know his history and got blindsided on several occasions. I’d be shocked if they worked together in the future, but also if a family law attorney in the area takes up his case in the future knowing his history in the courtroom.
You tell stories without names or too many details.
But if I'm a family law attorney I would not be eager to jump into a case with a long history of losing. Experience teaches you to spot problem clients fast. But I would guess someone will think, "how bad can it be?" I wouldn't touch divorce work no matter how much I needed money. I'd much rather work on indigent criminal cases, and that says a lot.
To side track this a bit (First Congrats, Sphere and Mrs, I am sure summer will be more enjoyable with this out of the way).. JPO is it just lawyers don't like losing? I mean as long as you can tolerate the client, I would think a client that wants to go to court all the time, even if they are going to lose, would be a solid $$ stream, then again, maybe most lawyers have enough business so it doesn't matter. Just seems odd that a business would not want a client who over utilizes the service. Like a lawn care company turning down someone who wants their lawn mowed daily.
