Blackfive needs your help. If any of you are versed on law or legal proceedings (I'm only good for common law issues) please pop over to Blackfive and lend a hand. Help spread this far and wide. The first comment under Matt's post has the contact info for the scuzzy lawyer. Here's a teaser for what you'll find over there.
Posted in Military Perspective…the State asked Mike [the Marine] if he would accept probation for Grodner. Mike accepted, probation was offered to Grodner [the lawyer - ptewy], and Grodner declined the offer, saying within ear shot of Mike, "I'm not going to make it easy on this kid". Mike's next court date is tomorrow, Monday, December 31st, to pursue misdemeanor charges against Grodner.
Mike's leave is over on January 2nd when he reports to Camp Pendleton before heading to Iraq.
Jay Grodner knows this and is going to file for a continuance until Mike is gone and cannot appear in court.
This is just disgusting, CJ. Don't worry man! I am sure justice will prevail either way. Maybe a lot of people will consider the way this lawyer treated that United States Marine during a timultuous time in his life, and people will not utilize his services. The people will probably figure that they'll take their business elsewhere to other law firms.
No matter what, this lawyer unjustly mistreated this Marine and he will not get away with it. He'll pay for it one way or another. Whether it be he gets in a ton of trouble for commiting a felony or misdemeanor(it should be a felony but they're just going to count it as a misdemeanor). Or he loses a lot of business for misbehaving.
You know, when you stop for a moment and think about it. He's a lawyer and he thinks he can get away with breaking the law, which he can not. Many people would probably look at that and think that this guy is completely in the wrong field of practice, and that his misconduct is unprofessional to extreme measures. Anyway, I just hope that Mike just returns home from Iraq in one piece, safe and unscathed to loved ones and friends.
Don't worry: even if a continuance is filed, the servicemember's civil relief act should protect him. If his military service materially affects his ability to appear, he can have his commander send a letter to the judge, which will postpone the trial for I believe six months or more.
