This is an honest question. Are you referring to paralegals? Law clerks? Out of state attorneys? If a Nevada licensed attorney is overseeing their work, what's the issue? I've been practicing 7 years here and have never run across it, yet I see so many references on this blog how the Bar needs to crack down on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637960526696603209.post-10465963249321621412016-09-26T13:37:21.593-07:002016-09-26T13:37:21.593-07:00The issue isn't his intellect.

Although I'm not sure how smart it is to call the presiding judge names in front of a jury - but to each his own. To the contrary, you should watch your back when you're adverse to the guy. He uses his religion as a weapon and has no respect for ethics. He doesn't walk the line, he crosses it with pride routinely.

You're taking his bait. The issue was making comments in front of a jury that would influence their opinions and lying to judge Vega about the trial setting. The facebook post was just one fact in that entire set of facts - a fact the RJ jumped on. This further highlights the messed up RJ reporting by the way. Making this look like a 1st amendment issue when it is a courtroom decorum and truth and candor issue is pure genius on Hafters part and right in line with his MO to be a victim. He needs mental help.

He'll be allowed to play victim due to the RJ reporting which lends to opinions reflected by 10:53 am - which are completely valid if only that were the whole picture. The second count filed by the bar should have got him disbarred and why the RJ isn't reporting in detail on that is baffling. Hafter illegally and fraudulently hid assets, lied in sworn testimony and documents, lied to, and was under investigation by, the secretary of state, and according to the article paid nearly $60K more than the original judgment (because he had no choice). one can only speculate why the RJ is focused on the Vega nonsense. I would guess Hafter has more problems headed his way above and beyond the state bar.
