Lawyers Allegedly Behaving Badly

F***ing hell. It just never stops; does it?

More fun - claiming that the court clerk messed up and filed draft affidavits as exhibits. An interesting claim - because the signature of the affiant is present on those alleged "drafts", and the affiant testified under oath that he never signed nor authorized those documents to be signed on his behalf.

Oh - and he's appearing pro se after the relationship with his counsel collapsed.

Who knew that taking funds from private equity for a contingency stake in a large class action means that you have to tell those investors that you got fired as counsel?

Who knew that personal expenses, like running a string of 10 to 30 thoroughbred horses, probably should not be paid out of your business account?
