Deep Pocketed Clients, Cash Cows and Insanity

This is an up close experience with the arrogance and stupidity of Big Corporations that wasn't planned.

While no legal expertise is professed, this requires public disclosure.

It's been written elsewhere that when a Big Corporation whines and laments about the HIGH COST of LITIGATION, these Deep Pocketed Clowns caused it themselves.  

There are at least 3 trips by the cute, young associate from Attorney Rose's Law Firm that were unnecessary, IMO. [There may have been more before I figured out the Folly.]

#1. The first was when Attorney Toyota U.S.A. arrived LATE, after the matter was heard and the court adjourned.

Attorney Toyota U.S.A. was forced to jog across the parking lot to retrieve the other 2 attorneys [Dilly, Dally, Dan Viera and Wet-Behind-the-Ears from Morrison & Mahoney.]

Attorney Toyota U.S.A. DID NOT even have the courtesy to offer an explanation or CALL the Court House or one of the other attorneys! [My attorney called her office and the only information available was 'she's on her way.']

It might be a good guess that Toyota U.S.A. Attorney was forced to do so to justify her BILLABLE HOURS - Ca Ching! Ca Ching!

The purpose of Attorney Toyota U.S.A.'s trip was to POSTPONE the PTC [Pre-Trial Conference] until JULY [date come and gone with other nonsense]. That also might have been accomplished by mutual agreement without the travel time, expense. Ca Ching! Ca Ching!

[Of course, the postponement was necessary because Toyota U.S.A. sat on the case for months and months, only delivering the request for discovery and interrogatories the week before court. Good excuse for postponement!]

Alas, Dilly, Dally, Dan Viera's 'BILLABLE HOURS' are picked up by Toyota U.S.A. [see 93B, explained here: Route 44 Toyota: NOT indemnified for their illegal actions].

Wet-Behind-The-Ears Morrison & Mahoney Newbie, representing Hertz, another Deep Pocketed Client with No Sense, willingly returned to court. [For the little he has done, he also has filed errata with the court. Again, maybe due to inadequate supervision.]

Here's the Hertz Story [also posted on Angie's List]:
Hertz, Raynham: Dilly, Dally, Delay & Billem Part 2
Hertz, Raynham: Dilly, Dally, Delay & Billem

[Maybe Attorney Toyota U.S.A. and Dilly, Dally Dan Viera were at that court event as well......no attendance sheet was kept.]

#2. The next time Attorney Toyota U.S.A. appeared in court was to add 3 WORDS that could have been accomplished by telephone. No telephones in Albany, NY? No U.S.P.S. service in Albany, NY?  Ca Ching! Ca Ching!

#3. And most recently, when Dilly, Dally Dan Viera filed a motion to prevent his clients, the owners of Route 44 Toyota from being deposed, Attorney Toyota U.S.A. travelled to Massachusetts. Ca Ching! Ca Ching!

This had nothing to do with Toyota U.S.A. and Attorney Toyota U.S.A. did NOTHING other than announce her name in court. Ca Ching! Ca Ching!

Route 44 Toyota: NOT indemnified for their illegal...
Route 44 Toyota: LOST to a LEMON!
Route 44 Toyota: Where Arrogance and Disregard of ...


Nothing like a CASH COW in your legal practice!

 

Sputter, spew, lament and make excuses as you choose.

Toyota U.S.A. has determined that ONLY an Attorney traveling from Albany, NY [Ca Ching! Ca Ching!] will do!


Toyota U.S.A. sent a GAGGLE of folks for the NHTSA inspection to freeze their Twinkies on a brisk New England Morn, sending them the day before from California, returning a day later, two nights in hotels/motels, airfare, meals.... Ca Ching! Ca Ching!


And because Attorney Toyota U.S.A. intends to conduct ANOTHER INSPECTION after the Plaintiff's deposition....Ca Ching! Ca Ching!

You see how they've increased their own expenses?

Part of the litigation process is the inclusion of SETTLEMENT discussions to unclog the Court's calendar.

With DEEP POCKETED CLIENTS who are fully uninvolved with the Mockery, where's the incentive?


This isn't about what's right, what's legal, repairing a DEFECTIVE TOYOTA VEHICLE that in time will force a RECALL because of BRAKE FAILURES.....

NOPE!

It's about BILLABLE HOURS and clients with DEEP POCKETS who fail to reign in the foolishness.


Forests of trees have been destroyed.......

While it may be mildly amusing to watch......those DEEP POCKETED Clients have spent FAR more than the initial value having absolutely nothing to do with me.

BIZARRE!
