I am sending the man and his wife a $50.00 check for his cheap-ass JC Penney shirt, via certified mail, with a letter stating that they are not welcome on my property any more, and that the next time they enter onto it I will charge them with willful trespass.

You adding a mandatory covenant not to sue in that?

Check says Settlement in full for May 11, 2011.  If they want to sue me, the animal control officer was standing right there, and he heard her say that all they wanted was for me to pay for his shirt.

I have a million dollar general liability rider on my property with a 1k deductible.  State Farm has the best attorneys in the lower part of the state working for them.  They've already told the police they suffered no injuries, because, you know, THEY SUFFERED NO FUCKING INJURIES.  RTFT, thanks.

You are firing your client?

Yeah, I'm not a doctor.

But hell, in Mississippi, doctors and public hospitals can refuse to treat patients in non-emergency situations.

Ah, must be a pre-civil rights thing.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Out of curiosity, why are you petitioning for removal as counsel when it was just their friend that is a douchebag?  Was the friend communicating the enmity of your client, as well as her own?  You made it sound like it was just their friend who was an asshole, and the client themself had nothing to do with it...

Not really my business, though, and may be confidential.  If so, disregard.

Quote from: RazAh, must be a pre-civil rights thing.

You can fire a client with the leave of the court if something's happened that makes you no longer capable of representing them effectively.  If they sent their friend to harangue Scipio about his competence, that would count.  That's why I was wondering about whether the client directed or condoned the friend's behavior.

I didn't know that.

It's pretty sensible.  Otherwise, you might have an attorney representing someone they may have a grudge against, or someone who they cannot in good conscience effectively represent, which is beneficial neither for the client nor the court.  It's one of those rare instances where the Rules of Professional Conduct almost recognizes that attorneys are human.

This lady told me that my client was bitching to her about what a shitty attorney I am.  THat's good enough for me.

Go kick her in the face, then.  I think that's sanctioned under the Model Rules.

Scip, you know you're wrong.
No, I'm not.  They had no business being on my property.  They were not my clients; it was after business hours.  They can fuck off and die in a fire.

Let me be clear: my dog is well trained.  He knows exactly how far he can go towards the sidewalk before the electric fence shocks him.  He stays well back of that.

Regardless, I apologized to the lady, and in the letter, I apologized to her and her husband again.  But when she starts chewing my ass in public about what a piss-poor attorney I am for her friend, which is none of her fucking business, she and her husband can go fuck off and die in a fire.

And since I'm firing the client, they can hire her a new attorney, too.  And fuck all three of them with a rusty spoon.

I mean I wouldn't hire a hobo attorney either, but...:P

Pavel Chekov, Esq?  Yeah, right.  Besides, he's too mean: he'd badger the vitness, even if they were the wictim.
