Richard Fine, Found Guilty of Moral Turpitude?

13 Jun

Our friend Richard Fine, (ex-Esq.) sat in one of the worst jails, the Men’s Central jail in Los Angeles, alone and ignored for a year and a half.  He believed in a cause, the cause of honesty and fair dealing by the exalted arbiters – Judges – who hold sway on the lives and well-being of our citizens.

How is it that this can happen here in California?  We are the only state of the union that has a special Court presided over by judges. If the State Bar determines that an attorney’s actions involve probable misconduct, formal charges are filed with the State Bar Court by the bar’s prosecutors (through the office of chief trial counsel). There, it’s considered whether lawyers have misbehaved.  The court hears the charges and also has the power to recommend that the California Supreme Court suspend or disbar attorneys found to have committed acts of professional misconduct or convicted of serious crimes.  When a finding is made, the decision then goes before the Bar, where they decide whether they agree with it.  If you see signs of self-dealing and conflict of interest, you will find it here.

Richard appealed.  What were his serious crimes?  Read the following, from the introduction to their Opinion and Order:-

Respondent Richard Isaac Fine appeals a hearing judge’s decision finding him culpable of committing 16 violations involving moral turpitude in multiple civil proceedings. Citing respondent’s “pattern of deliberately and repeatedly misusing this state’s statutory process for challenging a judicial officer’s qualifications” followed by a “campaign” of repeatedly filing meritless lawsuits in federal court, the hearing judge recommended respondent’s disbarment and ordered that he be involuntarily enrolled as an inactive member of the State Bar of California in accordance with the provisions of Business and Professions Code section 6007, subdivision (c)(4). Respondent attacks the legal sufficiency of the culpability findings and raises several constitutional claims for the first time on appeal. The State Bar urges us to affirm the hearing judge’s findings and recommendation. Following our independent review (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 9.12), we find that the hearing judge has fairly and fully reviewed the testimonial and documentary evidence, and rendered the appropriate findings. Although we reverse the culpability determinations on certain counts and find culpability on others the hearing judge dismissed, these modifications do not impact our ultimate recommendation. In addition to respondent’s pattern of misconduct over about a three-year period, his misleading and dishonest statements in his pleadings are a common theme throughout this proceeding. Based on the overwhelming evidence of respondent’s repeated abuse of the judicial process, we agree with the hearing judge that disbarment is the only appropriate discipline recommendation.

And so, by this decision, we can assume that they think that Richard has been immobilized, rendered harmless.  I disagree, for what they’ve done is to anger the electorate. They will rise up in protest when enough individuals have been deprived of their freedoms, a number which is growing by the day.

Meanwhile, Richard is now one of us.  He intends to file motions as an honorable Pro Per, seeking to immobilize each and every judge guilty of taking funds from Los Angeles County tax-payers, to which they were not entitled. And we can do the same, as he teaches us here.

Don’t forget that Judicial Watch has been doing its thing too.  It carries more weight than Richard Fine, and it would be most unlikely that one would see their West Coast lawyer Sterling Norris, Esq., who wrote and filed the paperwork, finding himself removed from the rolls of active lawyers.  They filed their original complaint back in April 2006, in the Sturgeon vs. County of Los Angeles case, and while it has been beaten at every turn, it remains to be seen whether they’ll take it to the United States Supreme Court. You can read the history of the twists and turns here.

Watch American democracy in action, because it’s fascinating and very very important.  The Supreme Court will most likely not want to dirty its hands and will deny consideration of the issue.  As a last chance, it will be left for action from the White House.  Obama now has a record of stepping into places usually avoided by his predecessors.  He recognizes that America has a stake in preserving the integrity of the Constitution and our Rule of Law and not just in name only.   It needs to be demonstrated as a significant arm of his foreign policy, and he does have a safe law degree.

Pro-se Parties Have To Fight Harder For Justice

02 Jun

Pro se people often do not get justice.

Why?

Let’s examine a few facts:

  1. Most pro se people don’t know the rules.
  2. Most pro se people don’t know how to prevent the lawyer on the other side from playing tricks with the rules.
  3. Most pro se people make assumptions about what is “admissible evidence” and stuff that isn’t.
  4. Most pro se people don’t know how to draft their pleadings or motions properly.
  5. Most pro se people don’t know why it’s important to write proposed orders for the judge to sign.
  6. Most pro se people don’t know why, when, or how to make effective objections in court.
  7. Most pro se people don’t understand what facts are critical to winning a case and what facts are of no consequence but only muddy the waters with court-confusing insignificance.
  8. Most pro se people don’t know why it’s so vitally important to cite controlling appellate cases in support of their pre-trial and trial motions.
  9. Most pro se people don’t know how to arrange for a written transcript to be made of all proceedings before the court, so they can control the judge.
  10. Most pro se people waste valuable court time with non-essentials, fail to appreciate the needs of others who have their own problems to bring before the court and, as a consequence, tend to make judges dread pro se cases.

Pro se people who know what I explain so simply in the official Jurisdictionary step-by-step 24-hour course are winning and even getting compliments from judges and even opposing lawyers … because they do it right!

Not all judges are “against” pro se people “just because they are pro se”. Most of the judges I knew in my 25 years were good people who cared about other people and did their best to guarantee justiceaccording to the rules.

But! You must know how to protect yourself!

Pro se parties who know the rules and how to use them to protect themselves from courtroom corruption the way my Jurisdictionary step-by-step 24-hour course makes so easy-to-understand don’t let crooked lawyers get away with their smoke-and-mirrors tricks!

It does no good to complain after losing.

The difference between winners and losers is the fact that winners learn how to win!

If you want to make it complicated and muddy the pond with all kinds of nutty arguments, you can do so, make the judge angry, and lose when your “evidence” isn’t admitted because it isn’t “admissible evidence”, etcetera.

You can demand your Constitutional Rights, instead of learning about causes of action and their elements that win lawsuits, and you will lose.

You can refuse to learn the rules of evidence, the rules of procedure, and the tactics and strategies my course is so popular for making easy to learn, and you will lose!

But!

If you want to win, get my affordable Jurisdictionary step-by-step 24-hour course now and master the case-winning strategies and tactics I used for 25 years as a case-winning lawyer in state and federal courts.

There is only ONE “Official Jurisdictionary” course!

If you’re paying a lawyer, know what your lawyer should be doing to earn his fee and win your case.

If you don’t have a lawyer, know what you must do to force the judge do what’s right and prevent the lawyer on the other side from cheating.

It’s that simple.

My affordable, popular, official Jurisdictionary 24-hour step-by-step lawsuit course will show you how to prepare orders, write powerful pleadings, draft and argue motions, object in court, get admissible evidence into the record, prevent the other side from getting lies into the record, do legal research, compose your legal arguments, and much, much more.

You’ll learn how to avoid filing an answer by moving the court to dismiss or strike the complaint or require a confusing or poorly-worded complaint to be re-written.

You’ll learn how to use effective discovery tools to force the other side to produce facts that may lead to admissible evidence.

You’ll discover how to move the court and demand that the judge enforce your legal rights.

In short, you’ll learn how to save money, maximize your winning power, and resolve conflicts peacefully and profitably … according to the rules!

 

Once you master the simple concepts I teach, you’ll be more powerful than most lawyers I met in 25 years as a licensed lawyer in state and federal courts as a licensed bar attorney!

Why do people go to court without first learning the rules of the game and how to use them to win?

02 Jun

 

Those who don’t want to spend a few hours to learn a few rules and how to use them to win shouldn’t complain when they lose. Most of you who are sports fans know at least a few of the rules of your favorite sport, yet very few (who don’t have my course) have made any real effort to learn the rules of the game we call litigation! You wouldn’t think of arguing with a referee or umpire if you didn’t know the rules of the game.

People who use my course are winning!

The rules of baseball are far more complicated than the rules of court, yet nobody told you! So, if you’re like most people, you probably fear the courts and the high costs associated with hiring a lawyer … when all the while you could be learning how to use the simple rules of evidence and rules of procedure that are far, far easier to learn than the official rules of baseball, football, soccer, and many other games 8th graders are smart enough to learn!

The federal rules of evidence are only 16 pages!

So, why weren’t you told?

Why weren’t your children told?

Who is hiding the truth so they can make more money?

USE YOUR COMMON SENSE AND STOP LOSING!

The challenge for you (and everyone else seeking justice in our courts) is your willingness to learn how to use that power by spending 24 hours studying my popular course!

You have real power to get Justice in America!

Too many complain their rights are being violated, while those same people refuse to learn how to use the power of due process and its rules to overcome their opponent, control the court, and force judges to grant them justice! Such people spend too much time complaining and too little time learning! Because they do not know the rules or how to use them effectively, they lose … needlessly!

It is NOT DIFFICULT to learn!

Lawsuits are nothing more than contests about facts that tend to prove or disprove the essential “elements” of what we call “causes of action” (explained in my course). Once you understand the elements, what a cause of action is, and how to control the evidence, you are on your way to victory.

If you don’t understand these things, you cannot win!

Do nothing in your case until you identify the elements!

Do nothing in your case until you understand the causes of action at play.

Do nothing in your case until you learn how to use your five discovery tools to get your evidence in and keep your opponent’s evidence out!

There’s much more to it than I can tell in Tips & Tactics newsletters, of course, so order my popular, case-winning, 4-CD, affordable, step-by-step, 24-hour  Jurisdictionary course everyone is talking aboutand start winning today!

With such powerful Rules to win your case, why not learn how to use them effectively?

Order my popular, affordable, official 24-hour course and empower yourself today with Jurisdictionary know-how.

Order NOW, if you don’t already have my course. And, if you do have my course, tell everyone to order so they can start winning, instead of losing and complaining.

My official Jurisdictionary course explains the rules of litigation in an easy-to-learn format people tell us an 8th grader can learn, understand, and use in just 24 hours!

That’s why my course is so amazingly popular!

Chances are someone told you about the course and encouraged you to visit my website.

Be clever. Think through the elements of your position (plaintiff or defendant) and sort out the essential facts you need to prove from those you don’t need to prove.

If you don’t know what the “elements” of your case are, or you don’t know what the “elements” of your opponent’s case are, then STOP NOW AND LEARN WHILE YOU HAVE TIME TO LEARN AND NOT LOSE!

The details are explained in my course, of course.Learn from Jurisdictionary step-by-step

If you think you can waltz into court with some legal argument and no admissible evidence to back up your argument (instead of doing things the way I explain in my popular course) you’ll be sadly disappointed when you lose … unnecessarily.

YOU MUST LEARN THE ELEMENTS OF THE GAME!

Doing anything in your case before you understand the rules, the “elements”, and your 5 discovery tools, is plain stupid.

The key to winning is knowing the causes of action, the “elements” and how to get facts that lead to admissible evidence that tends to prove or disprove those elements!

Yes! It really is this simple!

That’s why my course is so popular!

My course shows you how to identify the elements and how to get the evidence to prove or disprove them.

THIS IS HOW YOU WIN ! ! !

Nothing else matters!

For very little money and about 24 hours of your time, you can know what it takes to control crooked lawyers and get your evidence admitted so you can WIN!

You are entitled to get evidence into the court record! Rule 26 Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires disclosure, as do all state courts.

Why be hoodwinked or caught behind an 8-ball by your lack of knowledge about the rules, the elements, and how to get evidence to prove the elements?

Get my official Jurisdictionary course now (if you aren’t one of the thousands of winners who already have its case-winning power.

What you seek with all five (5) of your discovery tools (explained fully in my affordable Jurisdictionary course) is evidence in support of ultimate facts that tend to prove the allegations of your position and disprove those of your opponent … nothing more, please!

Don’t let lawyers trick you!

You have an unchallengeable right to get evidence that tends to prove the elements of your case and to disprove the elements of your opponent’s case.

Everything else is a waste of time!

Evidence + Legal Authority = Victory in Court!

But, if you don’t know how to get evidence, you lose!

If you don’t understand how and when to use your five discovery tools (especially depositions) you cannot win!

Learning all this is easy with my popular, affordable, 24-hour, step-by-step, case-winning, official Jurisdictionary course. If you don’t already have my course, NOW is the time to order and start learning how to avoid legal trickery so you can win your case and overcome your opponents using official rules … instead of internet legal mythology!

You cannot win if you don’t know how to get evidence into the record using your five discovery tools and what I teach you about how to overcome crooked lawyers!

Clever argument is not enough.

Arguing “your rights” were violated is not enough.

Complaining about the Constitution is not enough.

Those who haven’t yet learned how to get evidence go to court with the idea they “already have all the evidence they need”. I hear this over and over again. People think because they have a copy of a document or photograph or audio recording that they’re sure to win. Then, when they get to trial (when it’s too late to do any more discovery) they “discover” all the stuff they thought was “evidence” is inadmissible at trial!

Why lose when it’s so easy to learn how to win?

Everyone is talking about Jurisdictionary.

People tell their friends.

People promote it on their websites.

People talk about it on social networking sites.

People blog about it and praise its power in emails.

Why?

Because Jurisdictionary works!

That’s why!

Don’t be left holding an empty evidence bag!

The decision to win is a decision to learn how to win!

Winners know how to get evidence!

My 25 years as a case-winning lawyer licensed in state and federal courts has shown me this.

Evidence wins lawsuits!

If you don’t know how to “get it”, you cannot win!

My Jurisdictionary course will show you much more about how to effectively use all your five discovery tools to get case-winning evidence into the record and force your opponent to stop “hiding the ball”!

The Pro Se Problem

25 May

Lawsuit Self-Help ... Step-by-StepTips & Tactics

 

This mid-week Tips & Tactics will give you some insight into problems pro se people are running into and also show that pro se people are winning … more and more! 

Going to court without a lawyer is more common than you might imagine. There is a definite trend in the U.S. for more people to fight without lawyers.

An American Bar Association study is reported to show nearly 1/2 of all pro se people believe lawyers care more about their own self-interest than their client’s rights.

If you go by calls and emails Jurisdictionary receives, there’s good reason for this! Lawyers who bail at the last minute. Lawyers who don’t really know what they’re doing. And, worst of all, lawyers afraid to pull judges’ chains and demand justice, instead of currying favor with the bench.

An estimated 60% of pro se people say they can’t afford a lawyer, and 20% of pro se people say they simply don’t want to spend the money.

About half of all legal actions in the U.S. involve at least one pro separty. That’s a lot of good folks who need more case-winning lawsuit know-how … since none of us were taught anything at all about justice in public school.

It’s a real problem, and it’s growing worse each day!

Ever ask yourself, “Why weren’t we taught anything at all about justice in our tax-supported schools?”

Who is keeping it all a secret?

As I learned in my 25 years of practice as a lawyer, the answer is usually found when you “follow the money”! Who benefits from your legal ignorance?

You have a Constitutional right to get justice.

You have a Constitutional right to win pro se!

BUT!

Pro se people often do not get justice.

Why?

Really! Go with me here, please!

We at Jurisdictionary hear from a lot of folks claiming there’s a judicial “conspiracy” against pro se litigants, but let’s examine a few facts:

  1. Most pro se people don’t know the rules.
  2. Most pro se people don’t know how to prevent the lawyer on the other side from playing tricks with the rules.
  3. Most pro se people make assumptions about what is “admissible evidence” and stuff that isn’t.
  4. Most pro se people don’t know how to draft their pleadings or motions properly.
  5. Most pro se people don’t know why it’s important to write proposed orders for the judge to sign.
  6. Most pro se people don’t know why, when, or how to make effective objections in court.
  7. Most pro se people don’t understand what facts are critical to winning a case and what facts are of no consequence but only muddy the waters with court-confusing insignificance.
  8. Most pro se people don’t know why it’s so vitally important to cite controlling appellate cases in support of their pre-trial and trial motions.
  9. Most pro se people don’t know how to arrange for a written transcript to be made of all proceedings before the court, so they can control the judge.
  10. Most pro se people waste valuable court time with non-essentials, fail to appreciate the needs of others who have their own problems to bring before the court and, as a consequence, tend to make judges dread pro se cases.

BUT!

Pro se people who know what I explain so simply in the official Jurisdictionary step-by-step 24-hour course are winning and even getting compliments from judges and even opposing lawyers … because they do it right!


Consider this: If you and friends were playing a game of basketball, and some bystander came along who wanted to play but didn’t know the rules … how would you feel when he or she kept fouling and then arguing about his or her right to do as he or she pleased?

Put yourself in the judges’ robes!

Many years ago, after winning a motion, an older judge asked me to stay behind after the parties left. He took me aside and said simply this: “I want you to know that the case just before yours was about a little girl who’s grandfather thought it sport to extinguish cigars on the little girls legs.” I never forgot that moment. He wanted me to know just how serious other people’s cases are and how serious his job was.

Not all judges are “against” pro se people “just because they are pro se”. Most of the judges I knew in my 25 years were good people who cared about other people and did their best to guarantee justiceaccording to the rules.

Pro se parties who know the rules and how to use them the way my Jurisdictionary step-by-step 24-hour course makes so easy-to-understand don’t waste the court’s time and, as a result, get justice more often than not!

Remember: It does no good whatsoever to complain.

The difference between winners and losers is the fact that winners make an effort to learn the rules and how to use them to win!

If you want to make it complicated and muddy the pond with all kinds of nutty arguments, you can do so, make the judge angry, and lose when your “evidence” isn’t admitted because it isn’t “admissible evidence”, etcetera.

You can demand your Constitutional Rights, instead of learning about causes of action and their elements that win lawsuits, and you will lose.

You can refuse to learn the rules of evidence and the rules of procedure and go to court with silly arguments and lose.

But!

If you want to win, get my affordable Jurisdictionary step-by-step 24-hour course now and master the case-winning strategies and tactics I used for 25 years as a case-winning lawyer in state and federal courts.

There is only ONE “Official Jurisdictionary” course!

You won’t believe me, but most lawyers (and nearly all law school professors) don’t have a clue what it takes to win. Many law schools don’t teach “causes of action” or the elements necessary to prevail. It’s true!

Many law schools don’t teach how to use your five (5) discovery tools or why you must be courageous and fight the judge and demand your right to get evidence in the record using your discovery tools.

Many lawyers are afraid to upset judges, so they let things slide. They don’t object. They don’t “instruct” the judge on the law. They just lay back, take their hourly fee, and let their clients lose … and those who pay lawyers yet don’t know what Jurisdictionary teaches about winning are led to the slaughter by their own lawyer.

FINDING EVIDENCE TO WIN YOUR CASE

25 May

Evidence is the “stuff” you need to prove your case.

But, how do you find it?

That’s the fun part!

In this mid-week Tips & Tactics I give you a few tips how to use interrogatories to find evidence to win your case. There’s a lot more to it than I can tell you in a few Tips & Tactics, of course, so get the complete picture with my case-winning, affordable, amazingly popular, 4-CD, step-by-step, 24-hour official Jurisdictionary course that everyone is talking about!

Interrogatories are simply written questions that your opponent must answer under oath!

USE THEM WISELY!

USE THEM SPARINGLY!

THEY ARE POWERFUL TOOLS TO FIND EVIDENCE!

But, you only have a limited number to use.

Rule 33 Federal Rules of Civil Procedure states, “Unless otherwise stipulated or ordered by the court, a party may serve on any other party no more than 25 written interrogatories, including all discrete subparts.”

State rules may allow more or less, but most courts put some limit on the number of interrogatories you can use.

So, use them sparingly and wisely – but USE them!

The first interrogatory I serve on opponents reads like this, “Identify all persons having first-hand knowledge of any material fact alleged in the pleadings of this case and, with regard to each such person, state what they know about each such fact and how they came to know it.”

The other side will have a fit!Learn from Jurisdictionary step-by-step

They will respond, “Objection, overbroad, burdensome, not calculated to lead to admissible evidence, seeks to inquire into attorney-client privilege,” etc., etc., etc.

Immediately file a “Motion for Better Answers to Interrogatories” and set your motion for hearing!

You are entitled to evidence disclosure! In fact, Rule 26 Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires such disclosure, as do the state courts. So, don’t be hoodwinked by your own lack of knowledge about rules and what they require of opponents.

And, don’t be fooled by the all-too-common objection, “The facts sought are not admissible at trial.”

They don’t have to be admissible at trial!

Rules of evidence discovery are different from rules that control at trial.

Rule 26(b) Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides, “Parties may obtain discovery regarding any nonprivileged matter that is relevant to any party’s claim or defense — including the existence, description, nature, custody, condition, and location of any documents or other tangible things and the identity and location of persons who know of any discoverable matter. For good cause, the court may order discovery of any matter relevant to the subject matter involved in the action. Relevant information need not be admissible at the trial if the discovery appears reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.”

State rules generally follow the federal rule.

What you seek with interrogatories (and all your other five discovery tools I explain fully in my case-winning, affordable, amazingly popular, 4-CD, step-by-step, 24-hour official Jurisdictionary course that everyone is talking about) need not be admissible at trial, so long as the facts you seek are “reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence”.

Don’t let lawyers trick you!

You have an unquestioned right to find evidence that will help you prove your case.

Evidence + Legal Authority = Victory in Court!

If you don’t know how to find evidence, you lose!

Learning how is easy with my affordable, case-winning, official Jurisdictionary step-by-step, 24-hour course. If you don’t already have my course, NOW is the time to order and start learning how to avoid legal trickery so you can win your case and overcome your opponent using the official rules … instead of internet legal mythology!

You cannot win if you don’t know how to find evidence and get it into the record using your five discovery tools.

Clever argument is not enough.

Those who haven’t yet learned how to find evidence go to court with the idea they “already have all the evidence they need”. I hear this over and over again. People think because they have a copy of a document or photograph or audio recording that they’re sure to win. Then, when they get to trial (when it’s too late to do any more discovery) they “discover” all the stuff they thought was “evidence” is inadmissible at trial!

Why lose when it’s so easy to learn how to win?

Everyone is talking about Jurisdictionary. People tell their friends. People promote it on their websites and in their emails.

Why?

Because my popular Jurisdictionary course works!

That’s why!

Don’t be left holding an empty evidence bag!

Your decision to win is your decision to learn how!

Winning lawyers know how to find evidence!

My 25 years of experience as a case-winning lawyer licensed in state and federal courts has shown me this.

Evidence wins lawsuits – not Constitutional arguments.

My Jurisdictionary course will show you much more about how to effectively use interrogatories and all your five discovery tools to get case-winning evidence into the record and force your opponent to cooperate!

Order Now! before the price increase and before your opponent takes advantage of your not knowing how to find evidence and get it in the court’s record!

Winning is easy if you do what I teach in my course!

I know what it takes to win. I practiced law nearly 25 years. I can help you, if you’re willing to learn from me!

Pro se people often do not get justice.

Why?

Let’s examine a few facts:

  1. Most pro se people don’t know the rules.
  2. Most pro se people don’t know how to prevent the lawyer on the other side from playing tricks with the rules.
  3. Most pro se people make assumptions about what is “admissible evidence” and stuff that isn’t.
  4. Most pro se people don’t know how to draft their pleadings or motions properly.
  5. Most pro se people don’t know why it’s important to write proposed orders for the judge to sign.
  6. Most pro se people don’t know why, when, or how to make effective objections in court.
  7. Most pro se people don’t understand what facts are critical to winning a case and what facts are of no consequence but only muddy the waters with court-confusing insignificance.
  8. Most pro se people don’t know why it’s so vitally important to cite controlling appellate cases in support of their pre-trial and trial motions.
  9. Most pro se people don’t know how to arrange for a written transcript to be made of all proceedings before the court, so they can control the judge.
  10. Most pro se people waste valuable court time with non-essentials, fail to appreciate the needs of others who have their own problems to bring before the court and, as a consequence, tend to make judges dread pro se cases.

Pro se people who know what I explain so simply in the official Jurisdictionary step-by-step 24-hour course are winning and even getting compliments from judges and even opposing lawyers … because they do it right!

Read the testimonials!   ⇒

Not all judges are “against” pro se people “just because they are pro se”. Most of the judges I knew in my 25 years were good people who cared about other people and did their best to guarantee justiceaccording to the rules.

But! You must know how to protect yourself!

Pro se parties who know the rules and how to use them to protect themselves from courtroom corruption the way my Jurisdictionary step-by-step 24-hour course makes so easy-to-understand don’t let crooked lawyers get away with their smoke-and-mirrors tricks!

It does no good to complain after losing.

The difference between winners and losers is the fact that winners learn how to win!

If you want to make it complicated and muddy the pond with all kinds of nutty arguments, you can do so, make the judge angry, and lose when your “evidence” isn’t admitted because it isn’t “admissible evidence”, etcetera.

You can demand your Constitutional Rights, instead of learning about causes of action and their elements that win lawsuits, and you will lose.

You can refuse to learn the rules of evidence, the rules of procedure, and the tactics and strategies my course is so popular for making easy to learn, and you will lose!

But!

If you want to win, get my affordable Jurisdictionary step-by-step 24-hour course now and master the case-winning strategies and tactics I used for 25 years as a case-winning lawyer in state and federal courts.

There is only ONE “Official Jurisdictionary” course!

If you’re paying a lawyer, know what your lawyer should be doing to earn his fee and win your case.

If you don’t have a lawyer, know what you must do to force the judge do what’s right and prevent the lawyer on the other side from cheating.

It’s that simple.

My affordable, popular, official Jurisdictionary 24-hour step-by-step lawsuit course will show you how to prepare orders, write powerful pleadings, draft and argue motions, object in court, get admissible evidence into the record, prevent the other side from getting lies into the record, do legal research, compose your legal arguments, and much, much more.


You’ll learn how to avoid filing an answer by moving the court to dismiss or strike the complaint or require a confusing or poorly-worded complaint to be re-written.

You’ll learn how to use effective discovery tools to force the other side to produce facts that may lead to admissible evidence.

You’ll discover how to move the court and demand that the judge enforce your legal rights.

In short, you’ll learn how to save money, maximize your winning power, and resolve conflicts peacefully and profitably … according to the rules!

You won’t believe me, but most lawyers (and nearly all law school professors) don’t have a clue what it takes to win. Many law schools don’t teach “causes of action” or the elements necessary to prevail. It’s true!

Many law schools don’t teach how to use your five (5) discovery tools or why you must be courageous and fight the judge and demand your right to get evidence in the record using your discovery tools.

Many lawyers are afraid to upset judges, so they let things slide. They don’t object. They don’t “instruct” the judge on the law. They just lay back, take their hourly fee, and let their clients lose … and those who pay lawyers yet don’t know what Jurisdictionary teaches about winning are led to the slaughter by their own lawyer.

Sad, but true!

I know what it takes to win. I did this 25 years!

Most lawyers never learn what Jurisdictionary makes so easy-to-learn. People have been telling me since I started Jurisdictionary in 1997 that, “Your course should be required in first year law school.” But, of course, that’s not likely to happen, because whatJurisdictionary shows you isn’t politically correct! I teach you how to control judges, instead of bowing to them, I I teach you how to overcome crooked lawyers and their all-too-common sneaky tricks!

Losers believe internet fables. Losers get their legal education at the barbershop or on websites or expensive weekend seminars run by people who never practiced law, never went to law school, and don’t know mud from sand about rules or how to use them to control judges.

Too many good folks believe mythological silver-bullet easy solutions to their legal problems and, as a result, are losing when they would be winning if they knew what I make so easy-to-learn in my Jurisdictionary course!

The internet is infested with hare-brained schemes that sound too good to be true … and, like the old adage says, “If it sounds to good to be true, it probably isn’t.”

Remember: The most dangerous falsehoods are ones we most want to believe!

Why not learn from a real lawyer with nearly 25 years of case-winning experience?

My course is not expensive!

People who finish my course say an average 8th grader can learn it all in a single weekend.

If you have a lawyer, you will save thousands in legal fees by knowing what your lawyer should be doing, and at the same time you will maximize your chances for success by making certain your lawyer does what should be done, instead of taking you for a ride to the poorhouse – as happens to too many good people these days.

Trusting Lawyers Loses Lawsuits !

25 May

 

Win with Jurisdictionary!If you’re like most people, you don’t trust lawyers … I don’t either! 

You’re smart!

If you’re really smart, you won’t trust judges, either!

Many judges are excellent people who try their best to give everyone the benefit of law and follow the rules of court.

A few are horrible tyrants or downright crooks.

YOU DARE NOT TRUST JUDGES OR LAWYERS!

You MUST go into every lawsuit doubting the honesty of the judge.

You must be on guard against the shady ethics of the lawyer on the other side.

And (if you’re lucky enough to be able to afford one) it’s a good idea to keep a close watch on your own lawyer!

The multitude of lawyer jokes ought to give you a clue!

Q: What’s 5,000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?

A: A good start!

Is there another profession with anywhere near as many criticallynegative jokes about its members? Of course not!

There must be a reason, and YOU must beware!

Court battles are an axe-fight! Don’t forget it!

The other side’s lawyer is going to play every dirty trick the judge allows.

Count on it.

Plan ahead for it.

Be prepared to combat it and PROTECT YOURSELF!

Then there’s your own lawyer (if you’re rich enough to pay $300/hour or more to have one on your side). Dare you trust your own lawyer without first learning what it takes to win in court? 

Will your lawyer do what must be done to win?

If you cannot pay your lawyer for all the hours needed to get evidence, prepare for hearings, research the law, draft effective motions, etcetera, who is going to get the job done?

Will your lawyer even tell you what could have been done, what shouldhave been done … once you lose?

What if your lawyer gets up on the wrong side of bed?

What if your lawyer is afraid to stand up to the judge and threaten appeal by objecting to the judge’s rulings?

You’d be amazed how many are afraid of judges!

Where does this leave YOU?

Legal malpractice and courtroom corruption are on the rise these days, yet most people have no idea how to fight back and protect themselves. Most people have no idea what it takes to win in court …or how easy it is once you learn how!

When a judge lets a lawyer on the other side get away with smoke-and-mirrors games, YOU LOSE!

When a judge won’t let you make objections to preserve your record for appeal, YOU LOSE!

When your own lawyer (if you have one) bails at the last minute when crunch time comes or wimps out when it’s necessary to hold the judge accountable to the rules, if YOU don’t know what to do, YOU LOSE!

Most disturbing of all, if you lose for these reasons YOU CANNOT APPEAL YOUR LOSS!

The only way to protect yourself is to learn!

Know what it takes to win in court!

Use the official Jurisdictionary self-help course!

Jurisdictionary shows you what needs to be done. You’ll know how pleadings and motions should be drafted. You’ll know what must be done to force the other side to produce evidence. You’ll know the objections that must be made when the opposition tries to trick you with legalese or smoke-and-mirrors tactics. You’ll know how to keep the judge in line!

Without the easy-to-learn official Jurisdictionary self-help course, you’re at the mercy of the lawyer on the other side, at the mercy of the judge and, if you have a lawyer. you’re at the mercy of your very own lawyer!

If you don’t have Jurisdictionary, you lose!

Don’t be another sad lawsuit story!

Let Jurisdictionary show you how easy it is to win!

Then, if you must hire a lawyer you’ll know what should be done. You won’t pay for incompetence or laziness.

And, if you can’t afford a lawyer, you’ll know how to force the court to protect your rights and the rights of those you love.

It’s easy with our affordable 24-hour course.

Learn how to control the court — step-by-step.

Visit the Jurisdictionary to learn more!

Forward this to your friends. They’ll thank you for it.

Winners know how to control the court!

That’s how you win!

You have a remedy at law … if you know how to use it.

If you don’t yet know what we teach, you cannot imagine how much fun it is to force people to do what’s right by using the Jurisdictionary methods for winnning lawsuits.

You have POWER TO CONTROL THE COURT once you know the methods we explain so easily an 8th grader can learn and understand in just 24 hours!

All 4 CDs plus instant internet access as soon as you order, still only $249 (plus 7.50 for Priority Mail delivery).

What do you have to lose?

Losers believe in fables and get their legal education at the barbershop or expensive weekend seminars or websites run by people who never practiced law, never went to law school, and don’t know mud from sand about the Rules of Court or how to use those rules to control the court.

Yet, that IS what it takes to win!

Jurisdictionary was created by a lawyer with more than 23 years of real-time experience winning lawsuits!

Protect yourself!

If you have a lawyer, you’ll save thousands in legal fees just by knowing what your lawyer should be doing to win.

If you don’t have a lawyer, you’ll maximize the odds by knowing how to stop the opponent’s crooked tactics and how to get and keep the judge on your side!

Yes!

It really IS this simple!

What good are “rights”, if you don’t know how to use the rules correctly to enforceyour rights?

Why remain in legal darkness?

It really IS this simple!

There’s a lot to learn, but you can learn it in 24 hours, and none of it is too difficult for the average 8th grader.

The Rules are fair.

The judge may not be fair.

The lawyer on the other side probably won’t be fair!

But, the Rules are fair!

YOU can learn how to use the rules to win!

It is NOT DIFFICULT!

Click HERE or click on the flowchart above to see the fundamentals at-a-glance.

It’s sad that so many today fear and hate the very system of Law & Order that is the only power that is able to protect them from villainy at the hands of their fellow man and the tyranny of despotic political power.

This chart shows how fundamentally easy it is!

Please be careful who you trust to teach you about the law and how our courts work! There are all kinds of folks who hold themselves out as “legal gurus” you. There is a “movement” in our nation that’s lost faith in America. The leaders of this “movement” see only evil and none of the good. You can detect them by their anger and the “nifty tricks” they say you can use to win in court to get around the rules.

The fact is, learning the Rules is very, very easy!

THE RULES ARE FAIR TO THOSE WHO KNOW THEM!

The Rules of Court are what guarantee your rights! If you cannotenforce your rights, you might as well not have any … because a “right” you cannot enforce is not worth much!

Even the Constitution itself is a set of “rules”.

The Rules of Court go hand-in-hand and are your power to secure Justice and enforce your rights!

Nothing else works!

Try writing letters to the governor. Doesn’t work.

Write letters to the Bar. Doesn’t work.

Write letters to your congressman. Doesn’t work.

Carry signs in the street. Doesn’t work.

Send emails to all your friends. Doesn’t work.

Learn how to use the Rules of Evidence and Rules of Procedure in Court … THEY WORK FAIRLY FOR YOU IF YOU KNOW HOW TO WORK THEM!

Most of you have taken a sacred oath before Almighty God to uphold the Constitution of the United States.

Yet, very, very few of you have any idea how to enforce the rights our Constitution promises or any of the rights promised to you by your state constitutions, statutes, or common law?

Why?

Because my profession doesn’t want you to know!

Make you angry?

I hope so!

Let’s tell everyone: Now is the time to learn!

Are you facing one of these battles?

  • Foreclosure
  • Custody
  • Child Support
  • Taxation Issues
  • Property Rights
  • Criminal Charges
  • Contract Disputes
  • Slander
  • Landlord-Tenant Problems
  • Etcetera …….

Short of grabbing your squirrel gun and a box of ammo, the only way you can get your “redress of grievances” is through using our court system wisely.

But! Notice the word, “wisely”.

You must understand what this week’s FREE flowchart explains clearly.

So, click HERE and study the flowchart now.

And, be certain to visit Jurisdictionary to learn more about theofficial 24-hour, step-by-step lawsuit self-help course that everyone is talking about these days!

I faithfully attended 3 years of classes in law school and read every page of a stack of lawbooks 20-feet high, but in all those years the very simple common-sense secrets of the simple process that lets any person of average intelligence Win in Court was never explained.

Jurisdictionary reveals the secrets lawyers don’t want you to know!

The process is simple, and YOU can do it!

If you have a lawyer, he may be unwilling to do it. He may be afraid to do it.

But, if you want to win, someone must do it!

I realize these Tips & Tactics newsletters urge you to order the self-help course. If you already have the official Jurisdictionary course, perhaps these newsletters will encourage you to learn more.

The things you don’t yet know are the very things your opponent will use to destroy your case!

Lawsuits are an axe fight.

Jurisdictionary is your axe!


 

 

How can social media affect my divorce?

11 Jan

Are you going through a separation or a divorce and maintain a profile on Facebook? You need to be careful what you post.

According to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML):

An overwhelming 81% of the nation’s top divorce attorneys say they have seen an increase in the number of cases using social networking evidence during the past five years, according to a recent survey of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.

Anything you post online is public. Even if you have tight privacy settings, you never know who’s looking at your profile and who will share the information. 

What are attorneys or your estranged spouse looking for? They are trying to check your emotional state and see if you post anything that contradicts a statement you previously made. For example, if you go on record that you are having financial troubles and then post pictures from a recent vacation or a big purchase you just made, it will not paint the same picture and has the potential to hurt your case.

What can I do to protect myself on Facebook?

Even if you are not “friends” with your estranged spouse on Facebook, any status updates, pictures, links, and comments you leave on the things your friends post may show up on your estranged spouse’s newsfeed through mutual friends. Don’t risk it.

Check you privacy settings on Facebook. Here are two articles to walk you through how to check your privacy settings:

  1. Time to Audit Your Facebook Privacy Settings, Here’s How on Fast Company
  2. 10 Privacy Settings Every Facebook User Should Know on All Facebook: The Unofficial Facebook Resource

Be careful what you say. Think before you post and comment on anything—be it a status update, a photo or a comment on another friend’s post. Do not post anything related to your case, your estranged spouse, or if you’re starting to date other people. If you have any doubts, you probably shouldn’t push the “share” button.

Lock down your account. You can temporarily deactivate your Facebook account during your litigation or simply not post anything until it’s over. This will prevent you from sharing something that could potentially be used against you.

You should also be aware of what you post on Twitter, especially since all public tweets posted to Twitter are archived by the Library of Congress.

If you have questions about the role social media can play in your case, contact our office and we can help you figure out the best strategy.
