Never had this happened before!!!!!!!! Have You?

So I got a court case pending  March 8th to be precise. Had a Lawyer I know very well representing me, Paid in full nonetheless! SOB  died!!!!!

Wow. I know lawyers will do anything to take your money but that guy was motivated.

I'm sure your state BAR can sort that out and get you your money back asap.

 

You got bad mojo dude

He had no partners?  One man stand?  He's at least got a secretary.  She should have been instructed where to direct his clients.  Can't believe he wouldn't have some contingency plans in effect.

Yes Goose he had Partners! Hints the word Had!  Let me elaborate here a little more. I have known this Lawyer for 12 years  He was in his 70's and was brilliant Law Genius and represented me a few times with an acquittal, a dismissed charge, and a slap on the wrist. But  he went Solo 5 years ago! This was a Cash transaction my friend which is how I do most of my transactions. 

Wish I could bro  

Cash deal.......= you're fuckked

Thread title misleading, gets a 4.5 out of 10...tops.

Id say you are probably screwed. Chalk it up to bad luck. Get a younger lawyer and some sort of receipt book...maybe a pen, although any lawyer worth his salt should have a pen handy.

Exactly Einstein !!!!!!! Unexpected death and I knew him for 12 years not just representing me but on a personal level, did work for him and his wife over the years. Heavy Boozers and she died 5 years ago !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 I know this brother  

Was just wondering if anyone else been through this F'd up ordeal 

If it happened to anyone else in the world, chances are good that person is also a Covers member.  Good luck.  

 I guess the lesson learned here is to not pay someone up front, before services are rendered.

Let me ask a few questions

I can offer my services, but you'll no doubt end up in jail...  does your state have the death penalty?

Unless she's hot.

What are the charges? He may have filed some paperwork already pre-court. If so, I would contact his estate.

 

 

1 more thing. Even if you had a receipt you wouldn't just get your money (retainer) back by asking. Its tied up in the Estate.

Did you give your "pal" cash up front to represent you without a pencil? Ooooooh sheeeeit, tell me you didn't do that. 

Bet huge on the Cavs ML tomorrow and forget about that loot - gone.

It would take a Lawyer to get you money back and cost probably twice the retainer you lost chalk this one up on the lost column get another attorney to represent you in the probate court case you have pending and get a receipt for the transaction.... 

Well?  What happened?

Maybe it didn't 

Are you in San Quentin?
