Looks like Just an Opinion got banned at Crime Library again.
That one steals all Rte’s work, actually anyone’s work they can get their hands on, NEVER gives credit for it, worse, takes all the credit and compliments as if it is there work and finally ..... and makes up a lot more they NEVER verify! Tons of assumptions like facts.
Some boards don’t allow you to copy other boards. Fine, but the nice decent way around it is to contact the original poster at the other board, ASK permission (most don’t mind sharing) and then post it with proper credit where you found it and that you have their permission to use it.
It is about the deceit. Taking the credit and compliments even saying thank you! It is a Howard tactic and it is low down. If someone spent hours of their time, the very least common decent people could do is credit that time. Obviously if the information is out there, they could spend their own hour after hour if they want the credit finding it. If they are going to steal and cut and paste, at the very least say I found it, it isn’t mine and don’t take sleezy credit that isn’t their’s. Howard never credits the team of attorney’s that have worked hard for years on Anna’s case either. Scum.
Calling the fees “unnecessary, unauthorized, unreasonable and excessive,” the two filed in a Broward County court to stop Miami lawyer Richard Milstein from collecting.
“It’s outrageous,” said Nancy Hass, Birkhead’s Hallandale Beach-based counsel. “I’m a guardian ad litem, too, and I always reduce my fees when I deal with children. A lot of work produced (by Milstein) was unnecessary.”
Added Stern’s attorney, PBG’s Krista Barth: “That’s $900 an hour! People believe the baby is rich. Couldn’t be further from the truth. Mr. Milstein even charged for another lawyer at his firm to go to Anna’s funeral.”
Back in February, when ANS died of an accidental legal-drug overdose at the Seminole Hard Rock, the Dannielynn Hope Irrevocable Trust was established to pay for ANS’ funeral. The rest was supposed to support the 1-year-old girl as she waits for her mom’s still-tied-up-in-court $500 million inheritance.
The trust’s sources, according to records, were media that paid for “exclusive” interviews and a seat at the funeral.
As of today, according to court papers, $200,000 is left. Milstein wants $175,000 for his guardianship work and another $22,000 for being the fund’s trustee. That role, Barth said, is a conflict of interest.
Goofy Broward Judge Larry Seidlin, who has since quit, asked Milstein to represent Dannielynn’s interests in picking a burial place for her mom. But what should have been a two-hour hearing dragged on, most of it live on national TV.
The usually talkative Milstein didn’t return calls but e-mailed: “The three weeks of work entailed the work of five people, not just myself, in order to handle the multiple details involved in handling the trial and funeral arrangements.”

hahaha - i wish i could find the quote right now, but there was an appellate(?) or bankruptcy attorney that actually did the work that said he wasn't too impressed with ole HKS - i chuckled when I read that - HKS is good at one thing - sourcing jobs for his attorney friends - he would have made a good headhunter if he'd learned how to get up and go to work every day :)
