I really don't like blowing people off/ignoring them, but it's increasingly looking like a better and better idea. It's just a ton of personal energy investment on my part. It's like caring too much about the outcome.
It just amazes me that people get so dead set in their ways that despite coming to an attorney for advice, they just don't wanna hear it. Why? Why go to an attorney and then not listen to what that attorney tells you? That wall of books behind me, I've been studying those and many others on topic for years and years and am making a living off it.
1.) "I've done that before."
Business owner "knows what he's doing" (not at all), and orders $33K worth of component parts. His business is slow so he still wants the parts but calls saying he'll be slow paying. They tell him to cancel the order. He does <--- problem. Part of it is in the warehouse two states away. The rest is in China [groan]. They melt down the stuff in China and say "we aren't shipping you anything until you pay us $29K for the loss. They'll sell him the stuff in the warehouse stateside at a higher price, but until and unless he pays them $29K for canceling the order, the won't sell him anymore. He's gonna lose his supplier and be screwed....
There's something called the
UCC and it is adopted with changes in most U.S. State legislatures. There's a way to deal with this situation and naturally he didn't listen to me or follow it. I'm getting sad at the dumbfounded looks.
2.) "Heard from ______ that X."
Is the person you heard it from a lawyer? Does anything bad happen to that person if they are wrong? Does that person regularly deal with this type of thing and have a history with it?
Or, did _____ just say something you thought sounded great and now you're insisting that's how it is.
Probate is an area of law dealing with dead people and wills and stuff. There are very well set out procedures that have to be followed. Not doing so isn't good.
3.) But "so and so" did it. Why can't I. This is America....
And that doesn't mean its necessarily legal. Also, "so and so" didn't get caught. You did. If you go in front of the judge spewing "this is America and I should be able to do what I want," how do you think that's gonna work out? Everyone could say that, innocent and guilty. People have said it to the judge before and it didn't work too well then.... There's a law, the police say you broke it. Red, white, blue and your personal disagreement isn't gonna save you in court. Being flippant sure won't either.
I just.... I don't get why people don't listen. I'm not saying things you don't wanna hear to be a jerk. I'm saying them because it's the law and the best way I know how to get you past this whole legal thing. I know.... I know.... It isn't what you wanna hear.
4.) That doesn't make sense
To... you. It doesn't matter what I think. It doesn't matter what you think. It matters what the Judge thinks. The judge is always right until and unless you appeal and win that appeal. That means convincing another judge the first judge was wrong. Good luck with that. 80% of appeals don't win on an "abuse of discretion standard."
I can't sugarcoat this stuff. Even if I do, then the judge sure won't. [head... bangs .... into .... desk.... a ... lot]
It's like their egos are massive and they assume the only reason I'm disagreeing with them is because mine is also massive. Nevermind the years of study, the doing it for a living....
