"Perhaps it is my age or 40+ years of
experience in the law, but it is compelling to comment that the performances of
both counsel in this case, in terms of dedication to the law, to their clients,
and to their scholarship make me proud to again call myself a 'Lawyer.'"
-- Judge Robert J. Polis (Ret.), commenting on
the performance of counsel from Morris & Stone.

Oh
What a Tangled Web We Weave . . .
When
opposing counsel refused to turn over money that he had improperly levied upon,
he found himself named in the cross-complaint and $100,000 poorer.
"Because
we can, that's why . . ."
Can a bank
close your checking account and take your money without explanation? Bank
of America said it could. It took $50,000 from our client's accounts,
causing several checks to bounce. It said we could never prevail in any
action against it, because it had the right to take our client's money.
Find out just how wrong Bank of America was.
The
Case of the Oral Parachute
Our client
was promised a severance package if his new employer terminated him within a
certain time period. Unfortunately, the deal was made on a handshake, and
nothing was in writing. Could we convince the jury to enforce this oral
agreement?
Creative
Accounting
How do you
prove how much money your client is owed by his partner when the partner is the one that
kept all the books? Give the partner enough rope to hang himself. We let
the partner prepare the accounting, and by the time we were done showing the
judge how creative it was, he would not believe anything the partner said.
Let's
Consider that for a Moment . . .
Cases are
sometimes won or lost on a word. Consider this sexual harassment case we
handled.
"But,
But Your Honor . . ."
We were retained to handle the appeal from a lost employment case. In
their appeal brief, opposing counsel argued that we had made the "wrong"
arguments. As the song goes, "If this is wrong, I don't want to be right."
"On
second thought, can we have the $9,000?" Our
client was sued for $25 million, and the plaintiff was incredulous when we
offered just $9,000 to settle the case. By the time the trial was over, the
plaintiff realized that our offer had been very generous.
