[3.2 CAB]

From the past experience that I have had with with some members of the this particular BAR, on personal business matters, NOT them representing me in a legal forum, but with personal sales, leases, rentals etc. I have learned not to trust the SOB's. I too have had to go through the court systems, just to be able to get summary judgments in my favor. All it did was cost me $$$$$, they know how to play the game of screwing you over better than anyone else, and they are usually VERY GOOD at it. The hardest hit I took, was from the sale of a corporation that I had started and nurtured into a fantastic money making machine. After a few years, I was ready to let it go its own way without me involved and placed it on the market. An attorney that I knew in Houston(I knew him from my LE times in the various court houses around the Houston area) bought the business. Everything was fine with the sale and proceeds... for 10 months. Then this assclown decided he just was not going to keep paying the remainder of the monies owed. After many, many months of all of the legal paper wrangling, writs, depos, court filed delays, extensions, etc. it finally went to trial. I was all over and done within three hours, and the judge issued a summary judgment, in my favor, and also was making application to the state bar, to have this *****s card pulled. The bottom dwelling scum-sucker had 14 days to appeal the judgment. He never did. This judgment was approaching the seven figure amount. The 16th day after the judgment was awarded, this SOB still came up with one more way to get out of paying. Supposedly, while riding in the elevator at the Harris County Court House in downtown Houston, the bastard dropped dead from a massive coronary. I was not living in Texas at the time, but I was notified within thirty minutes of this happening. I was on a plane from D.C. within two hours, heading to Houston, to the Harris County Medical Examiner and the Harris County Morgue. JUST TO BE SURE, that this was not another one of his tricks that he had done to get out of the debt. Much to my satisfaction, I attended the post, and it was in fact true. He was extremely, dead, for real. After his death, I still never got anything, because I was actually second in line with my judgment, right behind the IRS. The IRS did not get even close to what they had on him, so I was left sucking hind tit on this, because he had his estate so well protected, he didn't really own anything. everything he had, house, cars, paintings, collections, etc, were all either leased or rented. He had ZERO liquid or, on paper assets.

I know many fine people that are attorneys, but if you ever happen to get involved with one of the dishonest or shady ones, be very careful, they know exactly how to screw someone over to the fullest extent of the laws.

I hope things work out in your mothers ordeal, because it sounds like the guy is already on his way to becoming one of the ones that should not be trusted any further than you could throw your car.
