Total waste of time. Idiotic. It's hard for me to believe that he finds lawyers who are willing to sign such nonsensical pleadings.

BTW, it was a trump-appointed judge, brought in from another jurisdiction, who tossed the suit.

The ORANGE MAGA FUCKWIT got up his rear end!

AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!

He just files these suits for the initial press release. Judges need to start sanctioning his lawyers.

The S. Ct., is afraid of him. Likewise, Congress is afraid of him.

Impeach him and throw the lot of MAGA out with him.

No problem at all finding a lawyer who is willing to file a lawsuit. After all, they get paid, win or lose. Kind of reminds me of prostitutes. Available for hire, regardless of “ outcome”…

Hookers win most of the time, definitely more than lawyers with exception of few STD’s

Heard a bad joke. What's the difference between a hooker and (name your profession of choice)... the hooker stops screwing you when the money runs out

I don't.

Most lawyers do not get paid if they lose.

This type of litigation would not be on a contingency fee.

Trump’s lawyers work by the hour. Right now we are paying for them.

I think you made the point. Most lawyers get paid regardless. There is only a select group of the plaintiff’s bar that do contingent fee work.

Most get retainers and are paid by the hour.

All torts are a contingency fee.

There is should a law that any lawyers losing a case, any case, he should not get paid!

Society might get back to normal life then!

Doctors also get paid regardless of result. They still send a bill if their surgery kills or crippples a patient.

The hospital directors, and then try to claim the surgeon was an independent contractor.

What do you call a person who finished last in their medical school class?

Doctor.

Apparently, for the last couple administrations, including this one, you call him the white house doctor. Lies about trumps weight, height, and health, and lies about bidens mental health and prostate cancer.

Not all.

Then there are the ones that they get an hourly rate AND demand a percentage.

There have been about a half dozen lawyers in my close family. Ranging from high money types to folks who passed the bar and then got out of it…

I’d buy the vast majority of personal injury attorneys are contingent fee. I understand the rationale as to why it’s something that hasn’t been banned.

As to doctors, yes they do.

It’s a biologic system, and the doc has no control over most of the variables. Note that some select doctors don’t take insurance/all comers and charge a lot more… but I’ve yet to hear of a surgeon who will do surgery on a pro athlete and thus get a percentage of his future career earnings because the surgery worked… it does happen with their agents l, though, so there is no legal impediments to doing so, I guess.

Not in Plaintiff’s work for torts.

Torts:

Med Mal
Bodily injury negligence, wanton, or intentional
Conversion
Civil assualt
IIED

Admin
Comp
SSA
State retirement/disability claims

Contract enforcement can be either way. I’ve taken a continued based of liquidated damages obtained. I’ve done it pure hourly. Again, this is as the Plaintiff.

Property cases are most likely going to be pure hourly.

Even w a contingency fee, when a dispute erupts the court or bar is going to look at the work vs an hourly rate.

Criminal defense and family law in many jurisdictions by rule or statute cannot be taken in a contingency. Thst will cost one their license.

The most significant case I ever worked on was a commercial dispute involving the title to some oil wells and it was handled on a contingency. But, I agree that most commercial disputes and all transactional work is going to be billed hourly.

I admit a doctor faces some factors behond his control, but a doctor does or should have control over whether he cuts the wrong tendon.

A doctor does have control over whether he takes into account a pre-existing condition before he draws the knife.

Lawyers also face factors beyond their control, such as an unreasonable client or opposing client, an incompetent opposing lawyer who causes everyone's costs to increase, and a bad judge or jury.

Not much argument from me here.

When working by the hour, thats not a bug, thats a feature
