@Koko78 and any other legal eagles in the building, check this bad boy out.

 

 

 

Wow. What a douche.

 

Very few people realize that most valuable asset any attorney has is his reputation in the legal community. It takes years/decades to build, and seconds to destroy. Dealing with other attorneys, prosecutors, judges, clerks, etc. is so much smoother, and better for your client, when they can trust what you say. For example, with a phone call, my boss can make schitt happen in most counties in WNY - and to a certain extent across NYS - because he's spent 50 years building, earning, and maintaining his reputation.

 

Getting caught perpetrating a fraud on the Court (and on opposing counsel) is deadly to most careers. Especially on something so ***** stupid as missing a discovery conference that was set up a week in advance.

 

When you do something like miss a conference as an attorney, you man up, say you're sorry, take your licks, and move on with life - no harm done. Quintoupling down on stupidity and lies is client-level insanity. He may very well not be practicing in that jurisdiction for a good long while because of this.
