Lawyers are a$$ and idiots part 2: So I do some pro bono work for non-profit & to do so recently gained reciprocity in state been licensed in IL since 1992. B/c just admitted to bar here, I have a "low" lawyer #. So, you'd think other members of the bar would be extra civil
2/ to a new lawyer. Nope. It's like carte blanche to be an extra big a$$. Opposing counsel in case refused to adjourn upcoming Summary Judgment even though discovery dispute; discovery not complete; and case is 2 months old & discovery dispute is NUTS! Refuses to answer
3/ clear RTA b/c it is dispositive against his client, forcing 2 months on my part. In last 2 years have agreed to extend every deadline asked ~12ish. That's the a$$ part. Here's the idiot part:
4/ On the surface he is a well-respected attorney at a well-respected firm. He likely sees me as irrelevant as I'm neither (as far as he knows). But you know what, over last 2 years, I've found 2 firms I'd 100% recommend folks to based on representation of Defendants.
5/ 5-7 I'd never recommend. Beyond "normal" folks, know well managing partner at largest firm in state & NDLaw alumni connection (or here), who might need local counsel. His outrageous conduct has burned more bridges for him & his law firm then he will ever know. Just to be a$$.
