An attorney who specializes in drunken-driving offenses is suing a Florida strip club, claiming it got him so drunk he spent almost $19,000 on his credit card, Courthousenews.com reports.
Mark S. Gold reportedly is suing the Gold Rush strip club in Miami-Dade County Court, saying he became "temporarily unconscious" during a drunken night at the club in November 2010 and racked up $18,930 in charges.
The lawsuit alleged that "Gold Rush knowingly and continuously served plaintiff alcoholic beverages to the extent that he was rendered intoxicated, partially or temporarily unconscious, and further to the extent that he had a complete loss of judgment, rational thought, or ability to enter into lawful contracts or agreements," according to the website.
The allegations reportedly say that the club "knowingly caused plaintiff's irrational state of mind, continued to ply him with liquor in order to charge his credit card excessive amounts to the extent of $18,930."
The lawsuit, filed April 18, makes no mention of how much drinks or services the 56-year-old Gold may have bought, according to the U.K. Daily Mail.
Gold is demanding that the club's owners, Turntable Entertainment and Production Company, refund him his money.

All: God save your majesty!
Cade: I thank you, good people—there shall be no money; all shall eat and drink on my score, and I will apparel them all in one livery, that they may agree like brothers, and worship me their lord.
Dick: The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.
Cade: Nay, that I mean to do.

Yeah. But I suspect his case has merit.
I’m thinking that we have the material here needed to write a new and crude lawyer joke.
It’s not like someone put a gun to this guy’s head and held him there. Sheeesh, where is the personal resposibility here?
(I know, that was just a stupid rhetorical question).
Atty Gold’s CREDIT CARD: “It’s my fault. This cheapskate was bumming my buzz, see? I wanted to see big racks and nekkid chicks but Atty. Buzzkill here didn’t want me out in the open. Screw him. BWAHAHAHAHAHA. Party on with Crystal and BARFFFFFFFFFFFFF...sorry about the hangover”
“Your Honor, I’m such a sleaze bag that they should be punished for associating with me.”
Established in 1987, THE TICKET CLINIC is one of the first law firms in the nation to concentrate solely on Florida DUI and traffic offenses. The Florida based DUI TASK FORCE was created by Mark S. Gold, Esq., the founder of THE TICKET CLINIC, to create a team approach to the defense of DUI cases in Florida.
Not necessarily.
It’s possible that somebody spiked his drink.
“Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.”
-Luke 11:46
“Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.”
-Luke 11:52
Looks like Jesus had ‘em pegged 2000 years ago.
Hopefully the judge that hears his case tells him
“Hey bud, you walked in the place, you drank your ass off, you didn’t leave and by the way, did you drive yourself home?”
Pay up.
Reminds me of those lawyers who lose big at Vegas, then sue the casinos for letting them gamble while drunk.
Man, if you can’t trust a Mafia run strip club, who can you trust?

Only a S. Florida lawyer would be shameless enough to pursue this... Devoid of scruples, brains and the enzymes needed to metabolize ethyl alcohol, and gonna tell the whole world about it!
I remember back in 1985 i blew my entire HS graduation money at the dog track.
I was really upset and learned a valuble leason.
Thinking back i shoulda just sued the racetrack for my losses.
I saw that place down on US 1. What a bunch of crooks. The best plea for a DUI is “Broke and Stupid”.
Ranks up there with “The Devil made me buy this dress.”
He can’t be doing his reputation as a lawyer any good with this cock and bull story. Frankly, I’d hire the guy who sang “Pants on the Ground” before I asked this jerk to represent me in court.
...and to think he did it partly with MY money! His Ticket Clinic took excellent care of a $300 speeding ticket I got on the Rickenbacker Causeway. I didn’t see those posts before my earlier snark.
