Got another bar ethics complaint filed against me. It will be tossed out like all the others, but still.
This guy literally thinks I have to represent him for free.... I quoted him about $1000 for a DUI defense (rough estimate, and it could be a little more if he went to trial and it was long, I guarantee there's at minimum at least 8 to 10 hours of work there between repeated court appearance pretrials, obtaining, investigating etc the Intoxilyzer 8000 reports, viewing/analyzing camera footage, and every other damn thing, Plus there's getting the car out of impound/immobilization etc. That's far from a bad price.) I tell him that if he isn't going to pay up front or something then I'm not working for free, cause I've been stiffed more times than I've been paid.
I'm pretty sure it'll be thrown out, but a.) It's insulting, b.) it's a boy who cried wolf. Every horseshit thing that cloggs up that system for what are essentially crybaby crap is another thing the people who investigate real problems have to deal with. There are shitheads out there who need smacked for their bad deeds and misbehavior, and I've had the displeasure of seeing them before and after their punishment for doing so. That said, this kinda shit is a distraction and an unwelcome one....
This is not helping my depression or the lovely headaches from that headwound. Magnificent.
