An Attorney's Vanity

For most men there is an age where a retirement plan is the best option to take but one attorney decided to open up his second law firm instead

.

Into his longtime office marched this 87 year old with characteristic nerve and verve, one of the nation's best known personal injury lawyers, a few months ago while being accompanied by a lot of guards. Emptying out his desk not to mention pull his name from the door while his men stood sentry was decided after a feud with his partners.

He goes to the courtroom every now and then but most of the trials are being handled by this attorney's new lady lawyer partner and protege who once worked as an assistant Queens district attorney. Not only did his endless energy, passion for perfection, and gift for showbiz glitz, not to mention enormous ambition help him win unwinnable cases but in the process he was able to amass millions of dollars.

Frightening him to death was the car that drove onto the victim's lawn and The Equalizer who got $740,000 for the family of a heart attack victim was able to convince the judge successfully.

According to him, an Acapulco hotel is the responsible party when a guest was attacked by a shark. A part of his argument was that the hotel should have told the guests that their ways of dumping garbage in the ocean could attract sharks.

This lawyer boasts that he's one of the reasons New York City employs 120 full time personal injury lawyers, overworked lawyers at that, and expects to shell out some $175 million this year in awards and settlements.

He, like all other lawmen engaged in tort or personal injury law, work by contingency fee wherein he takes a third of the final settlement. When it comes to aggressive personal injury lawyers, this lawyer dislikes the fact that people blame them for high tax rates and insurance costs.

For this man it is easy to manipulate how people feel for he only needs to tell them about a paralyzed man who is the victim in the ordeal yet might face a life of confinement in a vile prison cell. At his finest, he handles the emotions of a jury with the finesse of a symphony conductor. Bored juries deliver verdicts against you.

For all of his cases he did nit disregard the need for research. You could say that he has an obsession when it comes to not being proven wrong in court. In Time Magazine and The Wall Street Journal is where this lawyer has been profiled for his practice that gives depth to what was once known as ambulance chasing.

When it comes to his practice or himself never does he speak humbly about these. According to him, vanity is a necessary quality for lawyers who try cases. When it comes to vanity, it goes well with confidence and respect.

For the 33 year old woman adopted by him and his wife, part of her job is overseeing the details of his personal and professional life. Because of this owner of a Mexican restaurant and ever present assistant, his former partners said that they were driven apart. He says she merely helped open his eyes.

It was when he was 6 when his Ukrainian family immigrated to New York, by 1929 he graduated from Brooklyn Law School but the good legal jobs then all went to the politically connected Irish firms. Aside from personal injury cases, new Jewish attorneys like him were only entrusted with minor criminal cases.
