Rogue Barrister with a Torch

I’ve been practicing law for seven months. When I started, I set out to be that idealistic lawyer. I wanted to be that lawyer that always did the right thing, but still utilized the law to his full advantage. I strived to practice the law well, ethically and to the best of my ability. I wanted to be the perfect lawyer that counsels clients, tells them the good, the bad and the ugly of case. However, in those seven months I’ve already been: threatened with disqualification (by a crazy attorney), accused without basis of personal unethical conduct before a court, and scolded by the other side in a public document that explicitly states that my client should be ashamed for hiring me. The gloves are off.

As the song goes… “You don’t even know me and you are talking s@#$ about me… but one of these days I'm gonna catch you in the act in the act, red-handed caught up in the act, punk and that'll be the day the one and only day to step up and say right to my face and you'll get knocked out, ‘cause your mouth is writing checks that your @$$ cannot cash…”

That “day” was today.

I found evidence.

It is irrefutable evidence.

I know your defendant’s secret.

I’ve got the torch now.

I have the fire to burn...

That's right, you never should have allowed your client to take that picture with that goat and sheep. Don't you know that baaaaa means no?!

Six words that should make any defendant shudder:
"We have proof of willful infringement."

Mmmmm.... treble damages... attorney's fees...
