Is his argument really that he agreed to their terms, made a mistake on what he signed, and now wants out of the deal due to his mistake? I had a dream last night I ended up in court in a tiny county and hot dog day and blargzh were both there and said they lied about being in Texas. How weird and pointless

^^^^ look I bought "as is" but obviously that means I'm not buying as is if I find anything wrong with it post sale, as determined by me Pook Good Mook posted:I hope the local prosecutor gets wind of this (especially the Reddit post) and charges the whole lot of them. I hate this kind of poo poo so much. What's weird is my immediate reaction was "they should just hire someone to contest the will". I mean gently caress, it's a 850k estate, why not roll the dice on that? The Reddit thread has a ton more good quotes including how the dad is sending racial slurs to the partner of their deceased kid

Pook Good Mook posted:I'm not a real estate or contract attorney, but don't you still have a cause of action in an "as-is" sale if the seller actively concealed faults? How are you going to prove that? And how can you do that cheaper than just saying gently caress it and letting the other side keep the earnest money which is usually just a couple grand?

sullat posted:One of thr first cases I worked on was a Brady-bunch family where Mom married step-dad, and thrn after Mom died, she has step-dad as executor of a substantial estate. He starts spending it like mad, so Mom's daughters sue him to stop it and it escalates from there. Yeah I'm ready for when my grandpa dies since he has 9 kids + my evil stepgrandma has a bunch too and every one of them is convinced they should get all of the money , so dozens of people going after it Now that I think about it I have a lot of personal deets about inheritance squabbling (mainly because both sides of my family are farmers so there's land wealth but very little cash) but I'm sure everyone here does as well and it can't be that interesting mastershakeman fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Aug 9, 2018 |

Look Sir Droids posted:As someone who took an analyst job (at a big law firm) as my first real post-license job, it took me 9 years to climb out from under it and my career is still very stunted. That's good to hear, maybe I do have a future in this field after. I consider myself 100% failed and pretty much unemployable in law right now (going to tenth year law school anniversary in a few months will be delightful), and am spending more time planning to make sure my future bankruptcy is smooth than job hunting. But I sacrificed a lot career wise for my family so I don't really regret anything.

blarzgh posted:Ok, has anyone ever in all their years of civil practice seen a paid, private process server straight up lie about service on their return? Yeah, it happened way too often with Chicagoland foreclosure cases. It's more common with substitute service but can just be garbage on individual as well. Usually the time and place is right but they just hand it to some random dude and say that was the defendant who looks vastly different because they never check id Although once my old firm had a file where the guy who got served was a brother (who was visiting) with the same first middle and last name. They both came to court apparently to tell the judge service was bad and it was like well poo poo, how was the server supposed to know mastershakeman fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Aug 15, 2018 |

Serious talk for a bit, why not do doc review until the non law job hires you? Put your stuff in storage, find the tiniest bedroom with the most roommates possible and get some money. Also it's often affordable to just rent a hotel for the week doing doc review, I knew out of towners who would do that. Especially if there was uncapped hours and theyd just pull 80 hour weeks. I'm guessing Florida market is 25+ an hour? And you can find some that work for JDs that haven't passed the bar. A lot better than making 200/week for this firm

Toona the Cat posted:Pittsburgh has a ridiculously low cost of living, my live-in ex-wife makes good money, I sold my house, and even with one week off out of every 4 I’m making more than my PD colleagues with 5-6 years experience. My company is $26 unlicensed, $32 licensed with no OT limit. 32 an hour is higher than I've seen the market in Chicago in ten years. So great work getting that I guess. In 7ish years of doing doc review I've never grossed over 55k, a few of my friends have. And that's with working a lot of weekends and 12 hour days as much as I can, plus claiming unemployment. A few partial weeks absolutely fucks you

I can't believe it's been a year already. There is no easy answer here but my personal experiences with friends and familys disability have been more positive. I actually tried to convince my wife to go on disability since I'm convinced neither her physical (just got diverticulitis recently) or mental health are compatible with the stress of working. That being said I have a friend who was a biglaw lawyer, had something weird happen, presto disability. That was over a decade ago. This person has been very careful to stay off social media and such because they are in phenomenal shape but other than that have had no keeping disability payments coming in. Honestly if I were in your shoes I'd just keep on trying therapists and try your best to live carefree. I'm working on that myself by doing what half of America does and ignoring debt, otherwise I'm a nonstop ball of anxiety all day every day for years on end . Are you supporting a family? Or can you just crash on someone's couch at the end of the day if you need to?

SlyFrog posted:More positive in what way? That they've managed to retain disability without it being really challenged by the insurer? Or that they have healed and gotten better and gone back to meaningful, decently paying work? The former . Actually, the volunteer work this person is doing is now a ton more meaningful than whatever biglaw drudgery existed. quote:Might I ask for a general idea of what his disability was? Was it mental health related stuff like mine, or some physical malady? Quite honestly, psychosomatic. Uncomfortable getting too into it but it's a lot closer to you than not. But my friends have all commented theyre shocked she's able to maintain disability for what appears to be anxiety manifesting in physical symptoms. I'm not kidding when I say I wish my wife could get on this somehow - yours is through work not SSDI right? quote:Yeah, that's the genuine problem. I wish I could do that. It's what friends tell me. By I feel so much loving anxiety with all of this. It's like I'm in this trap. I cannot do the job, because of the anxiety. But my anxiety also will not let me accept and live comfortably with the uncertainty of the disability. Yeah you're in the exact same boat as my wife. Huge anxiety about how going back to full time work will physically kill her, then anxiety about not being able to afford our mortgage because I can't find a real job You're welcome to come stay in my spare bedroom if you can put up with a toddler mastershakeman fucked around with this message at 02:11 on Aug 27, 2018 |
