Oh cool. I've always wanted to be your lawyer. My first act as your lawyer is to regretfully inform you that I must end my representation of you immediately. To my knowledge there are no pending deadlines in your case. I am waiving any outstanding earned fees and your retainer balance is $0.00. I encourage you to contact another attorney immediately. I however refuse to return your client file.

From those facts alone, I can foresee the entire future of his life. We learned that in law school.

Kazak_Hstan posted:I think OP should take boxing lessons, and kick that guy's rear end. No, just a little sucker punching practice. Studying martial arts in order to pummel a drunk is kinda pathetic. Besides, OP might hurt his new GF when she inevitably attacks him. Self defense would be smarter. The first principal of self defense being avoidance of situations calling for the other principals of self defense. But that contradicts the "game on" plan. No self defense classes for OP.

So if the uncle is judgement proof, could he have a case against the (ex) girlfriend for negligently exposing him to a serial violent offender? If he's going to break up with her anyway he has nothing to lose, and may as well try to get something out of the situation.

I read a nuisance case today in which a condo owner sued for a constructive easement against his neighbor's condo in order to abate the nuisance-y noise. The moral of the story is you always have a case, you just need a lawyer crazy enough to try it. Epilogue: that suit resulted in sanctions, attorney's fees, and a countersuit for slander of title. Second moral is to be willing to get laughed out of court.

You sure? http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/02/us/facebook-post-costs-father/ I know, technically it was the father telling the daughter about the settlement that violated the confidentiality, not the following Facebook post since the daughter wasn't a party to the agreement.

No no. Defendant posted on Facebook, "In my opinion, Plaintiff shouldn't be on the board of our HOA or whatever." And Plaintiff sued for defamation. For real.

So lets say I'm hypothetically getting sued for about $2000 of credit card debt. Would it even be worth hiring a lawyer seeing as how it's a small amount and I'm going to lose the case regardless? Is there any realistic chance that having an attorney will save me any money, or would it just add to the bills that I apparently can't pay?

Well you can't hire an attorney without paying them so it appears to be moot.

You should probably head over to the debt collection thread, but if that debt is actually yours and its the creditor suing you (ie, the card company and not the 8th person to buy that debt) I can't imagine a lawyer is actually going to save you any money overall.
