I'm Being Sued! Welcome to Crazy Town - Ep. 1 

As being someone who's once used an attorney. I also couldn't agree more.

As someone who's watched many compelling legal dramas on TV, I couldn't agree more.

There are good people on both sides. But, why did the wheel fall off? It's the customer's responsibility to stop and check the wheels after 5 miles. Re torque lugnuts and

As someone who lives in Europe and has never had contact with an attorney and knows exactly 0 persons that have been sued, I don't know what to do in this situation.

If for nothing else, there appears to be facts presented that raise questions under MRPC Rules 1.1-1.3

Yes, sir! 😆

Sje doezn't sound that bright, tbh.

I wonder if the "Lawyer" is someone who just completed law school and this is their first and only case. She could also be a "friend", relative, or ???? to the client. Regardless, I agree she needs to be evaluated as to the state of her credentials and ethics.

Pro se is two words, not one.

@@duanehorton4680 No you misunderstand, they said they litigate prose as in they argue the law of language and how it's structured.

What's a "PROSE" litigator?

@@jasonm949 he's a lawyer guy with really good written English skills ! ;)

Perhaps you could have a really goofy tailor make you a frivolous suit to wear in court!

He pretty much said that here. There isn't any value in putting that threat in correspondence. Either he won't, which makes it an empty threat, or he will, in which case the threat didn't do anything useful. It's unlikely that it would have the effect of "Yes, you are right, I'll withdraw the case, apologize, and reimburse you for your time".

One things for sure, naming deputies in a frivolous lawsuit and calling the department thieves is a great way to get that business and lawyer some very special attention from the whole department

And sue her ass. Be creative - wasted time, legal fees, defamation, hurt feelings, punitive damages. I reckon that could be millions!

Paul Standeven Except Steve is a real lawyer and isn’t going to waste the courts time. Not saying he won’t have the other lawyer refereed to the state bar, this id say is gimme

I was thinking something else should be done with them...

“Lucre” It’s a word every Michigan attorney snickered at when being sworn in because the arcane sounding word isn’t really common in common parlance. It’s better that way because it has a mythical character now that better defines what it is.

Me neither! But I watched the whole thing and semi enjoyed it.

Same. I don’t even watch lawyer stuff.

Same but I'm waiting for the rest of this to come out simply to watch the tire guy crash and burn

Why be a fly? It's not a secret proceeding. It's a civil action in public court. The judge will be laughing.

@@stevek8829 Would definitely be worth it if the judge has a similar outlook on cases as Judge Judy.

That judge is going look at the dates and throw them out!

Judge: "I'll ask this once. Are you sure you want to continue with this lawsuit?" ID10T: "Yes" Judge: "OK, case is dismissed."

Mr. Letto, I was once taken court for failure to pay a car loan that I never took out, on a car I never had, with a SSN that was not mine. Signed with My full legal name but my signature. Went to court, showed the Judge my D.L. & SS card. Judge threw out the case and Reprimanded the Loan company Manager and the company Lawyer for a waste time.😂😂

Turns out that there 3 people with same name as mine, myself, & a Sr. and Jr. Jr. Took the loan, Sr. CO- SIGNED on a '96 Mustang Convertible. Stopped making payments and Sr. didn't want Jr. have it in the 1st place

UncleHank ahhh he’s probably going to stiff her as well, I mean what’s she going to do? get an “ illegal” judgement.

😂😂Lol

LMAO!!!

He should have put this video up so that we could have a pool on how fast he gets the lawsuit thrown out.

Ha! You’re so cute, handing out legal advice to a lawyer.

@@BeaulieuTodd lmao

@@BeaulieuTodd Simon was probably making a general response to his readers, like an add on PSA. His statement appears to be accurate, since they attempted to not serve him (9months to find him 2 miles away). Hoping a failure to appear would give a default judgement.

absolutely that is probly why it was filed hoping they would just ignore it

@@smashn368 You are right that my original post was made as a general response to the RU-vidrs instead of "a legal advice to a lawyer" as surmised by Todd. I had made an earlier response stating that to be the case but that response was deleted unjustifiably by RU-vid. If I had intended to give advice to Steve Lehto, I would have begun my post with @steve Lehto.

You could do that, but it would have to be on paper..

A jones she may have taken it on contingency.

@@Zzznorch If so, it must have been "On contingency I don't get censured by the Michigan Bar for this abortion of a filing."

@Zzznorch. She may not have. She could be milking the client, claiming she can win a big award while racking up billable hours. She may also be hoping by suing so many people that some might settle to avoid the hassle of a possible trial.

That was my thought. The responsibility of this ridiculous lawsuit is on the attorney, not so much the client. The Lawyer is either crazy, extremely incompetent, or trying to scam the client

I'd like to know which school she went to, though.

Did he use the word “malarkey” as well?

Q: Do you know what people call someone who graduated at the bottom of their law class? A: An attorney.

This is why we need to have laws that lock down torts and why we need a complete revision of our laws away from a system based on the nonsensical English System of law. This is a reason our young people want to vote in a socialist system and away from a money driven capitalist society based on torts and other legal nonsense. We need to reform the entire legal system.

Francis L Mayer no. The answer is not tort reform. This problem is not caused by torts. Rather, whether the attorney is competent and filed a frivolous complaint.

Are you sure this isn't from California????

Hey, friend Richter, knowing where and how to serve the defendant[s'] copy of the complaint is a necessary step in exercising your First Amendment right to petition for redress of grievances. I learned that back in the previous century in a "Law for the Layman" night course. I had that lesson reinforced a couple of years ago in a "Protest of Election" action against the official in the city where I live who arranged for the Mayor to be re-"elected" via a process where the outcome was certain victory even before the ballots were printed. Judge P. dismissed the case "with prejudice." And he did so not only because I should not be expressing opinions on matters of Law without being a member of the Shysters' Union but because I had only "informally" served the City Clerk's copy of the complaint. Betch'a cant guess why going to the City Clerk's office in person and putting it in their hand was not good enough 😂 !

Well, the opposing "attorney" didn't go to the fancy law school you went to ...

Someone swoggled his horn. Well shame on them. And we laughed and laughed and laughed.

I think these were Foghorn Leghorn's favorite terms!

@Anonymous Anonymous bolds points there kid.

@@briankrian3834 , Great Reply.

@Thomas Chrombly every attorney ive ever encountered / retained is ethical.

@Thomas Chrombly my comment is based in experience, not opinion. i can confidently say that none of the lawyers ive known / hired, would do anything unethical or illegal. i understand that lawyers have a bad reputation, whether they deserve it or not, they all get lumped into that stereotype. and you say "my experience is...." it appears that you have experienced some unethical attorneys. thats not an "opinion" that would be an actual physical experience. ive never experienced anything like that.

@Thomas Chrombly yes you stated that in your previous comment, just before you stated that it was "JUST an opinion." to be clear, mine is based on experience only. ; )

@Thomas Chrombly then all authority to you, what % or what should a lawyer make? you brought it up, so you are an expert.

@Thomas Chrombly Only from lawyers!!!😁

You would be amazed at the people that become doctors. And just as amazed at the ones that become public servants.

Omnipotent ! Objection! Why aren’t my comments pinned instead?!

🤣🤣 You got pinned...very funny.

This is going to be good!! I will also buy the DVD when gets out 🤣👍💿

Can we go class action suit with this? How much money do we get from Steve?

Frontline Patriot I’m suing you

That's really cute - you think judges read complaints.

@@proto2580 More so cute that you think they don’t lol.

​@@curtisvance853 Per my first-hand experience, they often don't read complaints, briefings, etc.

I personally don't believe the judge will be laughing as they tend to take a somewhat more aggressive action to someone wasting the court's time. I believe the technical term is "pissed".

This is why a baseball bat and a blackout switch are things

Case was files 9 months ago, THEN somebody else was sleeping on the serving switch. The file got stuck in somebody's procrastinating cogs, probably for a purpose but most probably out of sheer neglect.

Not hard to find a lawyer to take your money whether you have legal basis or not

Sounds like it was the same attorney that defended him.

🤪🤪🤪🤪

Propably desperate for clients which is why she took the bullet

Please don't give her any ideas! We have enough of those bozos in Washington all ready.

She's probably hoping for a nomination to a US District court...

Your very astute. You should be a lawyer and political advisor.

@@keithlynch7239, I would but I have one liability, I have a conscience. Lol

@@christopherdunham2637 Damn! That conscience thing always trips me up! Why, why, why do I have a conscience?

I'm thinking Marv isn't in business any longer ...

Danny Reed - I see what you did there.

... right off the car.

Danny Reed Witty comment Mr. Reed, but still fell a little flat

... or doesn't

In fact, Steve is probably obligated to report her to the state board if he has knowledge of another attorneys that broke regulations. That’s possibly one of the regulations. It would not be retribution, it would be an obligation, LOL! (I’m a licensed surveyor and that’s the way it works for us. No idea how it works for attorneys in Michigan.)

On the other hand, the bar regs may require him to send the lawyer a thank you note. I'd suggest he include " .... and thanks for gifting me with the rich video content!"

Seems to me she is guilty of fraud for even accepting the case.

Especially if she took money from that guy to file this load of BS. In fact she may even face jail time for going so far off the rails. The only way she can mount an adequate defense of herself is perhaps if she came from another state where these claims would be valid. But they should have to make sure those claims are valid in that state before deciding. Because the seems like the statute of limitations would be over in any state. Also fire that damn process server, I found Steve's address just by Googling his name.

He's not going to have to report anything after the judge reads this pile of bull

The problem is that a lawyer who thinks this case is worth taking to court doesn't deserve to be paid. Probably doesn't deserve to be a lawyer either, at least not when it comes to legal issues on that subject.

How much chance the suing lawyer is an alumni of the Gray-Bar Law School?

From what I understand, at the end of a civil case, the prevailing party can request that the losing party pay all attorneys fees. But it's up to the judge to grant the request based on various factors in each specific case.

@@cleetose You may be exactly right. But each state has its own laws. Could be anything ...

@@cleetose I am from Canada not the US but this is what I have heard of US law from watching various RU-vidrs like Steve. If you are sued in a civil matter and you win you are not awarded court costs, however this was in a video I heard about HOAs. You can only get court cost covered if you counter Sue as far as I'm aware. But if this case is that egregious that like 75% or more of those claims are invalid then you really have to wonder how the lawyer can keep her license. Especially if she's not working on contingency, meaning if she took money from them to file this load of BS she needs to lose her job and repay that money.

Particularly if you have to go after the attorney. They will then have. A better grasp of the law

but another confiscation and auction will only result in another lawsuit 2025-2026 depending on how long it takes the lawyer to find him it will be a unending cycle till the end of time :P

Could be an infinite loop of lawsuits, auctions and bamboozling. Lol

Keith Babola Unfortunately there’s all sorts of exemptions so you end up getting nothing. I won 12 1/2 law-suits out of 13. I got nothing and I had to pay on the last one even though I was a third-party defendant.....Young girl turned left in front of me (failure to yield to oncoming traffic) I ended up T boning her patents van Which ended up turning over on its side and sliding into a car in the opposing intersection. That car sued me instead of the lady who caused the accident....I was found to be partially at fault which to this day I just can’t believe happened. I had the right of way I was going on my merry way and the young 18-year-old girl in her parents van failed to yield to my right of way thus causing the accident and any results of that accident should have been only ascribed to her....

@@Casmige what state? you should appeal

Ya think ?

Lol

This reminds me of that quote by Nic Cage in Lord of War: "Don't go to war with an arms dealer."

Especially when some of the counts are law said lawyer specializes in.

No, money down!

Or the staff (assistant attorney) drafted it and she signed it off without reading it first.

Cooley graduate

Her cousin Vinny? LOL

@@gavincrouch that's what I am wondering too. Marv may have a paralegal friend or family member who misrepresented his case to the attorney and drafted the complaint BUT it is still 100% on the attorney to double check the complaint before signing it so she's still a horrible attorney either way.

@@refinnej5302 The fact that it's not double printed and the word "bamboozled" is used, almost has me certain a practicing attorney (unless she is young - in her 20's [they use some colorful language]), would not have typed that out (in most cases administrative staff do that anyway). Well, she will get a surprise when she appears before the judge if she proceeds, unless there is more than meets the eye, we have not seen / heard what the sheriff was allowed to seize, I would like to hear the execution order stipulations (if the order states property of the LLC only and property of the owner and/or his wife was seized, that might be the issue).

Kinda the way the Democrats are trying in impeach Trump for winning the election.

@@slappy8941 hahahahaha! Sooooo TRUE!

@@slappy8941 how did that delusion work out for y'all?

Bill Van Raam Well said

Yesssss, that's exactly what I said. The attorney knew it would get dismissed/lose. The attorney submitted the complaint/lawsuit anyway so that they could at least collect the money for their services. Sounds like the unethical attorney should get a few bar complaints, and Marv the crook should sue his new attorney for scamming him.

Right On!! I agree, I'm not sure though if acting this way is " Illegal ", it most certainly is ' Unethical ". The Desperate will do Desperate things!

Very common unfortunately, and bad for that attorney's reputation to represent a lousy case.

"... willing to milk a client to get it." ... and willing to risk her law license? Fred

The video popped up in my time line. The adds played before I ever saw him speak, so I have effectively NOT WATCHED his story. Nor do I care to. I only clicked on it because I thought it was some fool I had a spat with that complained about NOT getting a speeding ticket a while ago and claimed the cop was rude and the ticket was a joke, AFTER the cop let him go with basically a warning when he was unable to provide a current registration.

j C That’s why we have a Bar association to regulate that. My favorite story from my dad taking the Bar that in the interview, they asked a hypothetical question: “A lawyer parks in a metered spot in front of the courthouse everyday and never pays for the meter. What do you think the punishment for him should be?” Apparently, it wasn’t hypothetical, that happened in Maryland. He was disbarred for being so unethical. If only more lawyers were treated the same way.

@@skeeterburke That happened to a guy I worked with. Took his BMW into the shop for winter tires, got a couple miles down the road and the front passenger side popped right off. Good thing he was slowing to a stop at the time. But it still caused real damage to the car. At least the shop did the right thing and repaired everything without question. I think they were embarrassed by the whole thing.

@UCFUXFQLQ88loxUP1VAgem_w my kids are the same as that. Both have driver's license, but. No desire to fix anything. ((Same dereliction w/bicycle repairs)) I don't do all my car repairs. Checking the lug nuts ASAP afterwards is something that I always do.

@@missingremote4388 When a person brings his/her car to be serviced at a repair shop, it is expected that the shop is competent and will perform the work according to factory specifications. It is not the customer's responsibility to have expert knowledge in auto repair. For example, when a customer brings his car in for an oil change, the customer can expect the shop to replace the oil filter with the correct model, add the appropriate amount of oil to the crankcase, use the appropriate oil for that particular make and model of car, and tighten the oil plug properly. I would surmise that most Americans have not taken auto shop while in high school. There are some high schools that do not even offer this class.
