The Schenck Law Firm

Looking for law and motion lawyer full time

Lawyers should never ask a Georgia grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer. In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate peop...le and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.' The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?' She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.' The defense attorney nearly died. The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said, 'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair...!! See more

A Brave New World. A 4th Amendment case of first impression for the ages.

These are from a book called "Disorder in the Court" and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and published by court reporters, who had the torment of staying straight-faced, while the exchanges were taking place. ___________ ATTORNEY: What gear were you in at the moment of the impact?

SACRAMENTO (September 18, 2020) - Leaders of Consumer Attorneys of California expressed sorrow and condolences to the family of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died today at the age of 87. The following statement is from CAOC President Micha Star Liberty: "The sorrow felt today by all of us who admired Justice Ginsburg is immeasurable. From her days as a barrier breaker in law school through her decades of service on the Supreme Court, Justice Ginsburg was... nothing less than an icon for those who believed in justice and equality for all. Her buoyant spirit, integrity and quiet but indomitable quest to ensure fairness for all Americans no matter their race, gender, sexual orientation or income status were hallmarks of a diminutive woman who was a giant of the law. And she was tough. We will never forget her statement about gender equity: 'I ask no favor for my sex. All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks.' Ruth Bader Ginsburg is destined to go down in history as one of our country's most towering legal minds and greatest Supreme Court justices. And it must be said: With barely six weeks until Election Day, our hope is that those in Congress responsible for confirming her successor on the court will take into account the precedent they set in 2016 and delay the confirmation process until after the inauguration. Otherwise, they risk going down as history's biggest hypocrites." Consumer Attorneys of California is a professional organization of plaintiffs' attorneys representing consumers seeking accountability against wrongdoers in cases involving personal injury, product liability, environmental degradation and other causes.
