Is there anything more satisfying than…
writing and filing a Motion to Withdraw? Complete with Motion for Order Shortening Time, and Declaration of Counsel where you lay out in detail what a degenerate asshole dirtbag your client is and how much you tried to bend over backwards to accommodate him?
Fuck you, client, next time pay your attorney fees. I probably wouldn’t have delighted in it so much had he not called me near daily asking for status updates in which the reply was always, “We won’t know anything until after the hearing.” Not to mention the time wasted when he’d just drop in and want “a few minutes” (aka, an hour) to “talk about the case” because I kept turfing him to voicemail. And nevermind the fact that whenever I did need to talk to the bastard he was totally uncooperative. “Opposing counsel sent us this in response to our RFPs. Did you receive this? How did you respond to it?” It’s especially annoying when you get one that’s watched too much TV and wants to appeal every single aspect of the case to the Supreme Court (of Nevada or the United States!). Fucking idiot.
Thank god for department reassignment vacating the trial date, and the new department not having calendared it yet. It would have been a lot harder to get that motion granted with a trial date on the calendar.
You’re on your own, client. We’ll eat the $5000+ in unpaid fees just to be rid of you.
God, that was cathartic.
