You are diplomatic, observant and call it like it is. Praise the Lord for a MAN like YOU.<BR/>The opposition and hate/nasty attitudes fired at you is a badge of honor because you're not allowing the game of "Simon Says" to dictate your mind and actions. You are CHOOSING, not to be a gump and to educate others about these forces driven by self-affluence that rule the world. The system is set up to have an advantage in every aspect and they still play dirty to come out on top. Let me give you an example so you know that I know what I'm talking about. Through psychology and speech classes I've learned that what sticks in people's minds the most is the first and last thing they see/hear. Why is it that the Prosecutor presents first and last in a trial? Most Americans are like pigs (no offense, I was too until I educated myself)in the sense that we will eat whatever is laid in front of us (and we'll pay top dollar for it - but that's a whole other issue). And then when we start asking questions and the door is slammed shut in our face, we say, "Oh, I'd better not knock on that door anymore." Not me - all the more reason to start banging and find out what is going on because I don't like to be lied to or taken advantage of. <BR/>A teacher of mine used to say, "they're all in bed together," how appropriate. People, let alone lawyers, rebuke with concern about their professional reputation being smeared; well how about your manhood/womanhood reputation and when you look in the mirror? Unbelievable - and I'm a realist - that so many people CHOOSE to wrestle with a conscience (if they have one at all) than to publicly "do the right thing." Brian, you have character - which is one of the few honest and true measures that cannot be bought or made about by manipulation. It creates jelousy and resentment by those who lack it. You are not alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345350.post-86026044977902805002008-06-02T21:42:00.000-04:002008-06-02T21:42:00.000-04:00brianwhat did you think of barzee and denaro and t...brian<BR/>what did you think of barzee and denaro and the shameless display in the d. b. r. today?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345350.post-33632674589202665412008-05-22T11:36:00.000-04:002008-05-22T11:36:00.000-04:006:51 am, checking my comments, you really need a l...6:51 am, checking my comments, you really need a life "Social Boy"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345350.post-24930149131763893052008-05-22T06:51:00.000-04:002008-05-22T06:51:00.000-04:00oops, that was me at 6:49, hit the button too fast...oops, that was me at 6:49, hit the button too fast.My Law Licensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17487117416844299246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345350.post-74700752598874897072008-05-22T06:49:00.000-04:002008-05-22T06:49:00.000-04:0011:45, I think I get your position by your second ...11:45, I think I get your position by your second comment.

I apologize.<BR/><BR/>2:09, I only have one non-english speaking client right now, and had to yell at him the other day when I saw you because he was yelling at me. He actually yelled at me for showing him pictures of evidence that he "knew" I manufactured. Wish I knew how to do that. I usually don't yell at clients whether non-english speaking or not, but as criminal defense lawyers, we've all had our moments.My Law Licensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17487117416844299246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345350.post-2604092919557689532008-05-21T14:09:00.000-04:002008-05-21T14:09:00.000-04:00Agree, the problem is Brian doesn't have any frien...Agree, the problem is Brian doesn't have any friends, he's way too busy writing his own press releases.<BR/><BR/>Of course, there are those times that he's yelling at his non-English speaking client's...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345350.post-33789096923000982342008-05-21T09:21:00.000-04:002008-05-21T09:21:00.000-04:00It's curious that you bring up the subject of some...It's curious that you bring up the subject of someone being nice only because they want something from you.

Fear of not getting good offers from the state attorney or ausa. Fear of what other people think. As far as running against a judge, groundhog day is not appealing to me. Let's face it, a lot of criminal lawyers are hacks. Oh yeah, and in Federal court it's fear of being indicted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345350.post-29214087561663751092008-05-12T18:49:00.000-04:002008-05-12T18:49:00.000-04:00My hero.As the worst become worse, the best become...My hero.<BR/><BR/>As the worst become worse, the best become better!<BR/><BR/>This rocks.<BR/><BR/>Thank you.<BR/><BR/>Aspiring Criminal Defense LawyerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345350.post-5358890236601111242008-05-11T03:05:00.000-04:002008-05-11T03:05:00.000-04:00Excellent, excellent piece.

I had a case last year regarding an inventory search where the cops didn't prepare the inventory sheet (which equals automatic exclusion in Nevada). When the City Attorney confirmed for me that there was no sheet they said that the police don't generate them anymore because no one asks for them. As I was drafting my suppression motion, I thought how lax is the local defense bar when the police are routinely doing something which equals automatic exclusion simply because no one calls them on it.Nevada Fathers' Rightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094641042554295577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345350.post-78917849740834271762008-05-09T19:15:00.000-04:002008-05-09T19:15:00.000-04:00As a legal assistant, I worked with a lawyer who r...As a legal assistant, I worked with a lawyer who refused to file a petition for writ of prohibition in a landlord tenant case. The judge refused to allow the renter her jury trial of right. The attorney told me his reason for refusing to file the petition was because he, a new lawyer, makes his living by appearing before this judge. I even offered to draft the petition so the lawyer wouldn't have to do the work, and he still wouldn't file the petition. Sadly, this "renegade" judge often illegally denied jury trials in civil cases.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14345350.post-86374503967874560802008-05-07T10:58:00.000-04:002008-05-07T10:58:00.000-04:00Brian:This is a good post and demonstrateed a lot ...Brian:<BR/>This is a good post and demonstrateed a lot of courage.
