Personal injury attorneys dial-up lawsuits against The Randolph County Herald-Dial-Tribune (blog)


Use SOAP on a regular basis is always a good idea for anyone who wants to curry favor with the opposite sex but obviously no SOAP brand is a magic potion that will make men irresistible for women.
Dial has a product called "magnetic" launched, and the company is a tongue and cheek advertising campaign used to sell the product. The company describes as a "magnetic" "pheromone-infused, attraction Enhancing Body Wash." In the instructions on the bottle, step four reads, "stand back and watch the magic happen."
Of course, the ad campaign is not meant to be taken literally but apparently three different lawyers, including one of Chicago, lawsuits against the SOAP company for allegedly misleading the public about the ability of the product to attract women have placed.
These lawyers actually found people to tell a Court that they "bought Magnetic" because they really believed that the product would make them more attractive to women. I've been wondering if these persons believe that they will also drink Dos Equis the most interesting men in the world or that there really is a talking baby who uses E-Commerce too.
There is no group of outraged men who believe that all they need to do is use "Magnetic" prior to leaving their parents basement and miraculously she will have to take a date to the Star Trek Convention.
The lawsuit is not about justice but about creating a payday for lawyers. The lawyers hope that Dial will arrange the case to get the way to go. The plaintiffs while the lawyers getting only pennies with hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars. This is the jackpot Justice at its worst.

Lawyer slapped with $20K fine in Monterey County squid boat case - San Jose Mercury News

IP is over the quota
IP is over the quota

Correction: Richard deSaulles' position with the county was misidentified in an earlier version of this article.

A lawsuit over repairs to a "decrepit" squid boat ended Tuesday with a judge fining the plaintiff's attorney $20,000 for egregious errors during the case he lost.

The sanction against Richard deSaulles is believed to be unprecedented in Monterey County. The order requires both Judge Kay Kingsley and the attorney who sought the sanction, David Hollingsworth, to report deSaulles to the state Bar for possible discipline.

Chief among deSaulles' sins, said Kingsley, was his disingenuous claim that he needed to delay trial in the case because of the unavailability of a key witness. DeSaulles, an instructor at the Monterey College of Law, said the woman would testify to the "misappropriation of hundreds of thousands of dollars" by Guiseppe "Joe" Pennisi II.

DeSaulles won his continuance, but when the case came to trial in February, he never subpoenaed the woman, Pennisi's bookkeeper Noel Cordova. He also had no proof Pennisi misappropriated funds he had been paid by Joseph Nunez, an 84-year-old would-be squid fisherman.

Kingsley granted Hollingsworth's motion for "non-suit," throwing out deSaulles' case after his opening statement. The jury instead heard evidence in the cross complaint by Pennisi, unanimously awarding him close to $170,000 in uncompensated work and interest.

The case dates back to 2009, when Nunez and his son hired

Pennisi to do about $230,000 in refrigeration work on a 65-year-old wooden fishing boat, the Pioneer. Pennisi subsequently agreed to do additional work for another $400,000.

According to Hollingsworth, Pennisi was four days away from completing the work, and receiving a final payment of $91,000, when he went to the dock and found the Pioneer was gone. During the night, Nunez and his crew had taken the vessel and Pennisi's tools to San Pedro for the south coast squid season.

Nunez claimed the second contract was not valid and that Pennisi told him he would never return to the boat to complete the work. He sued Pennisi, a member of an extended Monterey Bay fishing family, for $2.5 million, claiming he had lost fishing time because of the poor work done on the Pioneer.

Kingsley indicated Tuesday the second contract was valid and that deSaulles' case "is a mess as presented," with no proof to back up his claims. She said deSaulles' unjustified request for a continuance on the last day before trial caused Hollingsworth, his staff and experts to expend unnecessary work.

His violation of court rules was compounded, she said, when he filed an "incorrect and misleading" proof of service with the court indicating he had delivered memorandums that Hollingsworth maintains he never received.

The judge ordered deSaulles to pay $20,728 for the additional costs, including 40 hours of Hollingsworth's work billed at $400 per hour. But she rejected Hollingsworth's claims that deSaulles should be required to pay the costs of the entire case because of alleged fabrication of evidence and perjury.

"If you think there was perjury, report it to the District Attorney's Office," she said. "If you think there was misconduct, take it to the Bar."

Both attorneys said they "respectfully disagreed" with Kingsley's ruling.

"I believe eventually it will be revealed that our inability to prepare the case was caused by the defendants," said deSaulles, who maintains Hollingsworth blocked him from completely deposing Cordova, the bookkeeper.

Hollingsworth said deSaulles "dodged a bullet today."

Pennisi said he plans to sue deSaulles and Nunez for malicious prosecution.

Local attorneys and retired Judges Richard Silver and Harkjoon Paik said they have never heard of a $20,000 sanction before in Monterey County.

"He must have done something awful," said Paik, who was unfamiliar with deSaulles or the case.

"I think he better get a lawyer," he added. "These sanctions cannot be taken lightly. It needs to be reported to the Bar."

Lawyer arrested, tried to get witness to lie, Wayne County prosecutor says - The Detroit News

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Detroit— A defense attorney was charged Monday with conspiring to commit perjury in a murder trial after being arrested during a court session this morning.

Around 9:15 a.m., attorney David Dunn was arrested in Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Timothy Kenny's courtroom.

Prosecutor Kym Worthy charged Dunn, 42, of Detroit with conspiracy to commit perjury in a capital trial, witness interference and numerous other crimes in connection with an ongoing murder case that was set to begin Monday.

"Mr. Dunn's alleged behavior is a poison arrow to the heart of the criminal justice system," Worthy said in a statement. "The evidence will show that he has done this more than once."

Dunn was representing Andre Collins, 22, from Detroit, who is charged in a first-degree murder case. Collins was also charged Monday with conspiracy to commit perjury in a capital trial.

It's alleged that the two conspired to get a witness to commit perjury in Collin's case.

Collins had been charged with first-degree murder, weapons possession by a felon and weapons felony firearm in the case before Kenny when Dunn was arrested in the court room.

Collins is on parole for selling cocaine and marijuana. He was sentenced in December 2009 to four months to five years. After serving five months in prison, he was paroled in May 2010. His parole was set to end March 24, but he was held in custody after being charged with murder in the current case.

The 22-year-old has bullet wounds on his left foot and thigh, according to the Michigan Department of Corrections.

Kenny has adjourned the case until Friday at 9 a.m.

Worthy also charged Dunn with two counts of witness interfering, two counts of obstruction of justice, two counts of perjury-incitement and procuring at a court proceeding, and two counts of solicitation to commit a felony.

"I cannot even begin to express how disappointed I am by his alleged actions," Worthy said in a release.

Both Dunn and Collins are expected to be arraigned 1 p.m. Tuesday at the 36th District Court.

Dunn does not have any prior complaints with the state's Attorney Discipline Board.
