@1991LyriC @ItsMattsLaw He does not review yachts, that is my practice area.

@AMandoSch I bet this same atty raises an affirmative defense, objects to all written discovery regarding the defense, dodges meet and confers despite a dozen requests, then whines to the judge that the filing a motion to compel was improper…

I provide too many free consultations. I try to justify it as my spending twenty minutes trying to determine if I actually want to represent a potential client. But more recently I am starting to realize most calls are pro se parties seeking affirmation of their AI nonsense.

@GsuGrinding @ASFleischman This so much. The amount of disrespectful behavior that people try to pass as humorous on social media is astounding.

@illativefaith I have attended confession at places that include: a dock and mall. The mall confessional was “24/7”. The 3am line was long, 7am less so. More people were in line for confession, than attended noon mass that day. Easy access to confession is the path back to the Church/Faith.

@writeclimbrun @ItsMattsLaw @sutherlex @Corbienest @pop_tartlet If we pile on does it increase his odds?

@DietCoke_Esq Fun fact. Judge required paper exhibits be delivered to the clerk for a bench trial. First day of trial, clerk requires all exhibits be submitted electronically for use and potential admission at trial.

I did a presentation on the Jones act recently, and I was really surprised about the amount of disinformation individuals in the maritime industry have that results in their advocating for positions adverse to their own beneficial interest.

@heyitsalexsu They are 100% discussing what the minimum UBI needs to be to avoid government regulation and taxes.

[Sam Higginbottom @SHigginbottom]

@johnkonrad I think it’s much more complicated than this, but if we actually had government officials, instead of contractors, focused on policy making there might be a different outcome.

@ItsMattsLaw @dougboneparth Sounds like you need a new Financial Advisor…

[Sam Higginbottom @SHigginbottom]

Maritime law… I get it, you don’t really deal with it often, but just because your contract contains a choice of law provision does not mean it trumps well entrenched principles of general maritime law.

I finally looked in my fantasy football team, and I am not the worst one despite not having done anything all season!

Alton. Voice to text is great. Most of the time.

My 10-year-old is at a sleepover tonight, and my six-year-old misses her so much.

My favorite thing about boats are driving them-from my six-year-old
