ATTENTION ALL LAWYERS:

I write to you today on a serious subject-----your lazy asses.

When exactly did "doing nothing" become a way to practice law?
Don't get me wrong, there are times when just sitting back and letting things happen, or waiting for the other side to do something and then react are good strategy.  What I'm talking about here is when a lawyer (through lack of care or plain laziness) makes this their "style of practice".

GET.....OFF......YOUR.....ASS!!!

Don't you know I'll take every opportunity to point out your lack of effort to the Judge?
Don't you know I'll take every opportunity to hit you with motions and 201(k) letters?
Don't you know your client will wind up paying my client's fees for that time?
Don't you know I'll speak very loudly in the hallway, and thus let the other lawyers (as well as your client) know what a worthless slouch you are?
Don't you know that your strategy is, quite possibly, the worst possible strategy to take with an attorney with my practice style?

Maybe you're doing it simply to piss me off, or maybe you're doing it because this is always the way you do it, and you haven't faced someone willing to go with the nuclear option yet.

Well, welcome to J.D. Crane, bitches.

Ditto... for you judges (minus all the threatening and posturing and of course we would never explicitly state that you lack the necessary effort or care your position demands).
