If there's some tricky area of federal law that he has to know, his staff will brief him. His job will be hiring the right people, setting the office's priorities and representing the office to the public.

But he went to university in NV and has been here for a long, long time in NV years. That being said, he has, and is, a fine lawyer. He is a fantastic legislator for his district. He would make a fantastic Attorney General. He has both DA and PD experience. He understands poverty, and he understands wealth. He understands how poverty creates blue collar criminals. He understands how wealth creates white collar criminals. I really don't understand the color code of criminal activity but that is currently the way it is worded. <br /><br />I say BRAVO to Jason getting the nod for the Attorney General of our state.

But there's a difference between federal and state law, and there's a difference between running one of the biggest legal entities in the state and being a good politician. I don't know Frierson, but I believe he's a good person that's good for Nevada. But in my opinion, I think he's better suited for other jobs.

Aside from cases where an attorney may be able to formally secure future payment(like out of a martial home's equity or some other specific source) is it always the case that when you carry a Family law client, and there is no security guaranteeing payment (aside from a client's representation that they will get the attorney paid in the future) does it always wind up like these posters say?<br /><br />Does anyone have an example where such clients actually kept their word and subsequently got the attorney paid off(again, aside from cases where an attorney was able to appropriately and officially secure payment from a specific monetary source).<br /><br />So, in cases where the only security or collateral is a client's word or promise, anyone ever get fully paid at the end of the game?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637960526696603209.post-68384369433984352072021-10-08T13:01:30.940-07:002021-10-08T13:01:30.940-07:0012:20--Someone wise once said "nothing is wor...12:20--Someone wise once said "nothing is worth less than yesterday's legal services."<br /><br />And this really applies on domestic cases. Attorney time already expended, wherein the client may be very unhappy with the results, are viewed as worthless by some clients, and some of these clients will insist they will not pay, can't pay, shouldn't have to pay, and to avoid further confrontation lawyers will often drop the issue of payment, which then leads to carrying the client for months and months.<br /><br />Once such lawyers draw a line in the sand, and will withdraw unless payment made, these non-paying "destitute" clients are often able to come up with $5,000., $10,000. or more(they claim they had to "borrow" it from their parents, or her dad needed to take it from his retirement account, or some other pitiful drama intended to guilt-trip the non-paid attorney.)<br /><br />But it gets far worse. What does the client then do with that $5,000., or $10,000. or more, that they "borrowed" from their parents. Pay it to their current attorney to keep them on the case? Of course not as the existing attorney will apply it to unpaid past services that the client is very unhappy with.<br /><br />Instead the money will be paid for a new attorney, for new work, and for new and different results(or so the client thinks).<br /><br />And often this dynamic is partly the fault of the new attorney who boasts and brags how great they are and that they will clean up the mess created by the last lawyer, and get the matter handled properly, etc. And after all that aggressive posturing to get the client to pay them the $10,000., the new lawyer largely ignores the case once the check clears, appears at court marginally prepared at best, and the case proceeds as it always had, and how the prior, honest, non-paid attorney predicted it would proceed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637960526696603209.post-17413814111054841342021-10-08T12:59:32.688-07:002021-10-08T12:59:32.688-07:00She was an outstanding Judge and is a fine person....She was an outstanding Judge and is a fine person.

A 15 second phone call or email to me, that none of it was needed anymore, would have saved me hours of work.<br /><br />Plus she let me know, in no uncertain terms, to respect her time, instructed me of the brief period of time that I was permitted to call on given days of the weak, that I was interrupting her personal time wherein she was on a date with her boyfriend discussing the critical issue of the "status of the relationship." (and BTW, she was only recently separated from her husband and they were in the early stages of a divorce and custody battle, but here she was discussing her and her boyfriend's relationship--who was also just recently separated, and with six children, and now embroiled in his own custody battle and divorce.)<br /><br />I was flabbergasted. I filed a motion to withdraw. She screamed, abused, and threatened, but I got out. She hired a subsequent lawyer who called for the file contents, input on the case, etc. And you know what, she was able to pay him a $10,000. retainer even though I carried her for so long as she was supposedly "broke and destitute."<br /><br />Now, 11:56, ten lashes with a wet noddle for you reminding me of that nightmare client.<br /><br />But, yes, for those of you who are thinking I was stupid and enabled this situation, absolutely correct.
