The Courtroom Beatdown
My family had a long-running feud with my neighbors over boundaries. They were completely rude about it and we knew they didn’t have a case. The court time happens and apparently, they have continued being rude to their own lawyer. Usually, if a lawyer doesn’t want to represent a client, he’ll say something ambiguous like, “I will no longer be representing these clients”.
But, not this guy. He was as tired as we were of putting up with them after only a few months. He makes a 30-minute statement to the court detailing all the ways his clients have been rude. He complained about things like not paying his fees, repeatedly not showing up for meetings, oh and also shouting at his receptionist.
Instead of withdrawing with modesty, our neighbor decided to represent himself. What followed I’m told was about an hour of courtroom beatdown. Our lawyer and the judge pick apart everything they say, expose their continuous lies, and show them up for the horrible people they are.
