Not the first time they worked w The Donald? Their own dingdang fault.
And you just twisted trumps words and outright lies about them.
But hey we conservatives shoot our own and then let the commits do as they will
Very impressive WVKayaker. You have worked hard and been through a lot. I hope you have more time for kayaking now.
...So this lawyer friend was outsmarted by a reality TV star....
Okay, no thanks, I will seek some other lawyer to represent me. (Did that admission boost the lawyers resume??)
I did OK. I have my reward now. I live in the Philippines, a land of smiles! Great seafood, great weather, and a sweet Filipina by my side! It will only get better when I join the Lord!
But I am not buying what you are selling here. Any lawyer who cannot write a contract to protect his fees was never worth the fees to be paid.
YOU'RE FIRED!
Fake but accurate!
The nature of the evidence is irrelevant; it's the seriousness of the charge that matters! /s
I personally know a rich businessman (he's been my boss for some fifty odd years) who started such an LLC, in addition to his other businesses. It failed. What did he do? He paid off all the creditors, hired the employees in his other businesses, and closed the shop. It was the right thing to do.
It is simply a fact that Trump could have done the same. He may have only $8 billion, instead of $10 billion, but to me, what he did was not right.
Well this is new one. Now you want us to sympathize with some attorneys over Trump. You’re pathetic.
I hired a group of big name Chicago attorneys some year’s back when are partner froze me out of an investment. They did a nice job for me.
When we came to working out a nice settlement out of court, I went over the bill MY attorneys had submitted to me. I almost choked.
The bill was so obviously padded, I was dumbstruck. The attorney fees amounted to almost what I would be getting. they were charging what amounted to 8 hours per day, day in and day out for like 6 months. They had padded multiple attorneys for research.
I consulted with another attorney who had been on the ethics board who said the bill was obviously padded, but said I was forced to pay it or else they would sue me, and put a lien on everything.
I PROMPTLY FIRED THEM BEFORE THEY COULD THAT. I then hired an attorney who reported them to the Illinois Professional Regulations Board, (they did nothing), but in the end I settled with these guys for about 25 cents on the dollar which was still WAY more than I should have.
I’ve since noticed that this firm was notorious for doing this esp if the client was well off.
I suspect that the same thing happened here with Trump. He saw their bill in the millions, and fired them before they could do anything, then negotiated with them from a position of strength.
Here’s another example of why I like the guy.
And...and...he stole my cancer cure I was working on.
And. ..and. ..and. ..he takes credit from me whenever I help little ol’ ladies across the street!!!
Waaaahhhhhh.....
Trump’s bragged that he’s really good with contracts. As a lawyer, the fact that he found a way to exploit a loophole in a lawyer’s fee agreement in order to save a bundle sounds good to me. Does anyone really think lawyer’s don’t get paid enough?
Typically settlements go to the lawyer first or checks are split when defendant pays up
And that is written into contract
My guess is that it was a strategic business decision. He likely needed to continue good relationships with those creditors and employees in order to keep his other businesses rolling along. I have spent my entire professional life in the business/legal worlds and have very infrequently seen people do things out of the kindness of their hearts unless family was involved, though I'm not suggesting it doesn't occasionally happen.
I do object to your assertion that Trump routinely rolls over people. I don't know how you could know that. His employees love him and, as I posted above, I have done business with him and was very pleased with how it went. He has walked away from bank loans that were not personally guaranteed by him, but the banks took that risk when they made the loans. He would not be as successful as he is in business if he treated people the way you suggest. People simply would not do business with him.
Sounds familiar. I am aware through a very good source, how Trump and his lawyer team, destroyed a group of construction companies who contracted with him. Can’t go into details but it was dirty stuff, and a big gotcha at the end. They would love to go public with their claims, but alas, there was a crafty clause in their original contract about confidentiality and disclosure and since they have almost been wiped out by the billionaire, they can’t risk it.
Oh please, another no name no facts, I heard it from a good source how Trump screwed some people but can’t talk about it because yada yada yada.........
You know I heard from someone I trust that Toespi and RR screwed some people over a few years ago, terrible stuff, took their first born and everything but I can’t go any further, it’s all hush hush.
See how stupid that sounds?
Trump has or has had 100s of business arrangements in his professional life
The MSM is scouring the world for the disgruntled
You have to wonder why besides your anecdotal anonymous retelling that there are none or very few anywhere I’ve seen
Trump made his gold making deals in places others had tried and figuring out how to work with zoning and codes which isn’t easy
His big stories in business are recovery from near collapse and the original hotel deal near Grand Central...the Hyatt I think it was
And Trump tower and then the railyards which took a deft hand and his fathers help
Since recovery he’s been pretty much on a roll
Ivanka though is whose style and hand folks see in the image today more than her dads on all their condo and hotel properties
She has an eye for detail on aesthetics
From her mother
Incompetent lawyers FEEL THE BUTTHURT. If they did Lawyering 101, they would now have their million dollars. That is, in the unlikely event that this is actually a true story.

While this story seems in character for Trump, you’ll have to name names, show paperwork and allow for objective “peer review” before this can be taken seriously.
I know 300+ million Americans who were ripped off by 535 past and present members of CONgre$$ for $19,000,000,000,000.
$18,902,269,187,803+
I do not think that illegal plunder, such as theft or swindling - which the penal code defines, anticipates, and punishes - can be called socialism. It is not this kind of plunder that systematically threatens the foundations of society. Anyway, the war against this kind of plunder has not waited for the command of these gentlemen. The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. Long before the Revolution of February 1848 - long before the appearance even of socialism itself - France had provided police, judges, gendarmes, prisons, dungeons, and scaffolds for the purpose of fighting illegal plunder. The law itself conducts this war, and it is my wish and opinion that the law should always maintain this attitude toward plunder.
The Law Defends Plunder
But it does not always do this. Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it.
