You ever have a case remind you of a music? I’ve been on a run of classics currently. Eager about Justice Thomas taking what affordable minds might perceive to be bribes for 20 years, enthusiastic about being infantile and nicknaming him Mr. Tom Tom for an article, deciding in opposition to it, after which considering of the Tom Tom Membership’s traditional Genius of Love. From there it went to sampling, how Genius of Love acquired sampled and was a observe that includes Mariah Carey and the Ol’ Soiled Bastard, after which the case earlier than us. From the New York Legislation Journal:
A defendant-turned-lawyer making an attempt to gather on a greater than $500,000 judgement in opposition to his former legal professional is asking a decide to drive the sale of the legal professional’s home to gather his money owed.
Legal professional Robert J. Feldman owes ex-client Donald Glassman $519,682.08, in response to a judgement filed final 12 months in Manhattan Supreme Court docket.
The debt stems from a protracted authorized battle Glassman started over a decade in the past, with a jury in the end discovering Feldman chargeable for malpractice and defamation for calling Glassman a “harmful jerk” and a ”whole a-hole” on-line.
On Friday, Glassman requested a Suffolk County Court docket decide to order that the Suffolk County Sheriff’s workplace be allowed to promote Feldman’s Sayville, NY, property out from beneath him with the intention to make Glassman complete.
It is very important admire when serendipity strikes. What a small bounce from Ol’ Soiled Bastard to a case centered on somebody being known as a “harmful jerk” and a “whole a-hole.” So small in truth, it it could be a mistake to not give this case a theme music.
It takes a particular type of petty to kick a person out of his own residence over a lawsuit. Prime shelf petty. 50 Cent-level petty, if you’ll:
I believe that the massive take away from that is that you simply shouldn’t combine enterprise and friendships:
The battle dates again to 2006, when Glassman…employed Feldman, then a pal, to characterize him, in response to courtroom filings. Glassman then sued Feldman for $30,000 to return his retainer settlement, arguing Feldman by no means ought to have agreed to change into his legal professional within the first place as a result of he was really a fabric witness to the primary trial.
Now take a look at them. Even when they had been to make peace in any case of this, sleepovers won’t ever be the identical. Within the occasion that they put together a playlist for the event:
