I am being sued for something that happened at the December 2000 Freep of Joe Lieberman.

JimRob has allowed me to hold an internet fundraiser to help defray the costs of my lawyers fees.

I am broke and thousands of dollars in debt, and depending on how much I can collect here, I amnot sure if I can continue or work to sign a mutual release if offered.

Right now, we have ended the discovery phase, and are awaiting the deposition of the man who accused me of assaulting him that day.

That charge is a lie.

The following story below is my short account of what happened that day.

Well, I didn't expect you to understand. Some folks talk in a round about way. Some folks know other folks from earlier. You wouldn't get it, I guess. Read abit more.

I hope you're less than the 250/hour I pay here in Nashville for an associate at a white shoe firm.

Bourbon knows the firm.

If I'm buying outparcel land from a REIT...I have to be really careful.....they have in house help.

Local sellers are a bit more relaxed and forgiving,

I might be slow, but I just don't get it. How in the world do you owe your atty 8000 dollars already?

Attorneys charge by the hour, and they charge extra for expenses. A really good attorney might charge $400/hour, get the picture?

Third-hand story, but it should illustrate the point:

An acquaintance of a woman I know was hit up by an old friend for a favor about fifteen years ago. Old friend came to him and said, I have a problem, I wonder if you could help me? It's embarrassing, but I really need a favor. Acquaintance says, sure, what do you need? The old friend needed to deposit some funds but didn't have access to his account, could acquaintance overnight-babysit a deposit for old friend? Wouldn't be more than a day or two until he could get access to his own account again and ask for a check back against the deposit. Acquaintance said sure thing, and it was done. And he was screwed from that moment forward.

Turns out old friend and a confederate had been embezzling heavily from their employer, and had used acquaintance as an unwitting accomplice. When it hit the fan, acquaintance was named a co-defendant in a felony indictment.

Short version of the story was, even though the prosecutors had figured out what had happened, the judge knew, everyone knew acquaintance was innocent, still the man had to pay his attorney's fees, which ran to $20,000. He paid the attorney $8000, and then the day before the magic day when the charges against him were to be officially dropped, his attorney asked him to pre-meet at the attorney's offices -- where the attorney promptly stuck out his hand and asked for the balance, $12,000, before they could go to court the next day. He had to hustle up the twelve large from available resources and friends before he could go to court to get his name cleared.

That's how it works, when you put your foot in it.

If you don't mind me asking, why is it this excellent lawyer doesn't have a better plan than running up legal bills into the thousands defending against such bogus charges?

Ok. I'll bite - who is your lawyer, huh?

Kitties coming, if need be.

Hey, Race...I clicked on the link to make a donation and got a message that the page can't be found. I'm in Time-Zone-Warp, so I'll try again later. If I still can't get it, I'll let you know.

Hey, Cannoneer, thanks for the ping. How's life in the Rugged Region?

The piggie was funny, no doubt. I wonder though, if somebody else meant ping, not pig.


Just a typo, maybe.

"The judge wouldn't grant a demurrer."

Point of clarification: Wouldn't or didn't? Was a motion to demur filed in this case? On reflection, I agree with your comments regarding "unlawfulness" as an element of the offense of battery.

"The P did state a cause of action for battery"

You state that with certainty, do you have more than a casual connection to this case?

"a demurrer would not be granted because they can only be granted on questions of law, not on questions of fact."

Gotcha, thanks for clearing that up! I had a lawyer successfully demur to criminal charges I faced about six years back, and I've become enamored of that tactic.

Prayers, now; money, in the weeks to come, finances willing. (Mrs.KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle and I are presently waging war against our own personal nuisance suit, ourselves; we need to see how that ultimately shakes out, before knowing for certain where we stand, economically.)

We will do all we conceivably can, however. FReepers, ultimately, stand together.
