Good luck to you, Im on the same boat

Watch you tube videos on whatever matter ur facing for example facing eviction & you're going to represent yourself, very valuable if u do

Good luck to you. I am in the same boat. My daughter's school is suing me for $50,000.00. I have called numerous attorneys. no one will touch this case.

Im being sued by the los Angeles County sheriff department for over 200,000 and I don't even have money to afford a lawyer 🥲

Rules of evidence are drafted by the States Supreme Courts not the legislators.

most importantly they really don't know your story like you do. they have 10 plus clients. they will not find the small details that you will. Who can tell your story better than you? NO ONE!!!!

@@fsestarr7788 exactly !!

I am not 100% certain what “lawyers are in the pockets of the judges” means. Please explain. As for lawyers being “just in it for the money,” I have two thoughts that immediately come to mind. First, I often wonder why people say that about lawyers but not others in the workforce. Do you think your dentist, auto mechanic, and plumber are doing what they do because they love your teeth, your car, and your toilet, whereas the lawyer doesn’t care one bit and is just in it for the money? The truth of the matter is that most professionals do what they do because of a combination of financial and non-financial reasons. Second, there are so many lawyers that I think it is unfair to the group them all into one category labeled, “Just in it for the money.” Every major city in the United States has a legal services organization full of lawyers who do not charge the public for their services. Every major law in this country that governs the way we treat each other has had a lawyer involved in either the creation of the law or the interpretation of the law. And some of those lawyers were involved in those cases more because they wanted to help shape society than because they wanted make a buck.

@@fsestarr7788 I agree with you. However, the unfortunate challenge for people who represent themselves is that they have to figure out how to tell that story in a courtroom with the constraints that the judicial system places on them.

Well I will explain it to you why I think that

You are someone who gets it!

I think my daughter and friend are tired of me talking about it. But what they don't understand is I'm practically using them for practice. How to deliver in an effective way. I've just turned in my initial disclosure. I have over 33 exhibits. Most importantly i was able to find a document to show my employer submitted fraudulent documents to the EEOC. I filed a rule 9B. I plan to use their own position statement against them. I feel like no one can tell your story better than you. Attorneys have too many cases, to just focus on yours the way you will. You will find the little details that matter. That being said, GOOD LUCK!!

Wonderful advice❤❤ thank you so much!

Say that again sista

I know it is and the Constitution is the law of the land

Because lawyers are officers of the court. They have no duty to work for you, in your best interest.

​@kylelove927 pretty sure once you have a lawyer representing you, you do need to give them all documents. They do the work for you. Thats why you pay them a butt ton of money my guy

When they sign that contract to represent you, they can be held accountable for not representing your case with your best interest in mind.They must follow proper process and procedure and see your case to the end. I had three hearings representing myself. The judges were working against me. During discovery process I had requested employees information and the HR Director asked the judge if she had to give it to me. The judge told her no you can refer to them as employee 1,2,3. The judge knew I would need that contact information to subpoena those employees. That was a violation of my constitutional rights. You have a right to be due process, a rights to be heard, a right to Equal protection under the law. The judge refused to adhere to the appeal process. So corrupt.

You said everything is about a plea and the case is resolved. That leads me to believe that your personal experience with lawyers involved criminal cases. I have found that the criminal justice can be very frustrating for reasons that go far beyond whether you are able to afford an attorney.

I couldn’t agree more! My lawyer lied just as worse as my ex! And it costs too much money. Just represent yourself bc you know your story.

Don't you guys take the same oath as police and prosecutors etc ????

So true. I’ve hired and fired several because that wouldn’t do their job because of being friends with the opposing side’s attorney! A lot of attorneys work together and sometimes work against the one that hired them

Ai might not put caselaw in your lap, but it will parse data fast as blinking.

I am happy to hear that I could provide some useful information!

Thank you for the encouraging words!

One of the saddest days of my life was the day I realized the “America” I grew up believing & being proud of, was totally false. Every branch & system within our government is totally corrupt & the “justice” system is probably the worst one IMO. It has basically turned into he who has the money wins. In civil & family court it’s even worse bc you have no “right to an attorney” so you’re just screwed if you can afford one basically. And often times the consequences stemming from both civil & family court cases can be just as devastating to an individual as any criminal case could be. The main remedy the common people have is by way of the jury. Take jury duty seriously & stop giving these prosecutors the benefit of doubt. We could literally take back a good portion of our rights via jurors

Where are you located (which state)?

I’m in Texas.

My recollection is that the Texas Advocacy Project in Austin assists people are victims of domestic abuse. As for dealing with judges, I am thinking about making a video on that topic. One of my do-it-yourself clients had a tough experience with a judge last week. Once I figure out what I want to say about the topic, I will make a video. If you want to briefly talk through the process of what that motion to compel would play out, then schedule a phone call with me. A link to my calendar is in the description for the video.

⁠@@damonmoorepageyes it’s the Texas Advocacy Group that I’ve been working with. They have licensed Attorneys that you can schedule calls with. I forgot the name of the other group that I was told about that charges a fee for their calls.

You got it love, KZfaq and see if you can find actual court procedures, practice at home, maybe record you self. I'm thinking about doing mock hearings because a lot of ppl get nervous and forget to object or ask for certain things to be introduced into evidence. Just emerge yourself into finding all the info needed, this is your time to soak up it all. If I have free time I can help by doing research on statues, codes, motions etc for a exchange of a review.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It is great to hear that my information can have some use outside of the U.S.

@@damonmoorepage You're welcome. In the interest of adding context, the main difference in representation here is the distinction between Solicitor (who prepares the case up to trial e.g CMC Hearings/Witness Statements /adherence to Directions etc) and the Barrister (who's the advocate with permission to present the case before the Court). The two work in tandem. Hence its possible for a Litigant In Person with restricted funds with the right guidance/advice as well as aptitude/ determination and time to do a lot of the work usually undertaken by a Solicitor & hire the latter for the trial. I thought it maybe useful should you encounter British clients in future.

Thanks for watching! I hear that there are some wonderful views on the coast in Namibia. I hope I am able to visit the country one day.

Your statement that using an attorney “automatically is a general appearance” is not correct. It is not the use of an attorney that makes an appearance either a general one or a special one. It is the document that the person files first that makes an appearance a general one or a special one. Or, to say it more precisely, a lawyer can file a special appearance for a party if the lawyer does it at the right time.

I do. A link to my calendar should in the description/notes for the video.

Two of the states in which I am licensed to practice law are Texas and Illinois. You should be able to use the following link to schedule a phone call: DamonCalendar.as.me/

@@damonmoorepage Thank you! I am looking forward to meeting with you.

Are you still available? I am having trouble logging in

What state are you in?

There is not a difference.

Four things come to mind when I read your comment. First, when a person has an experience like the one that you described, it is a strong sign that a struggling client linked up with a struggling attorney. When the “best” clients are connecting with the great lawyers, the things you described will rarely happen. Second, I agree that there are attorneys who will say what the client wants to hear during the initial consultation, but there are also clients who will call around until they find an attorney who will say what they want to hear. Would you hire an attorney who tells you why you will lose after you have a conversation with an attorney who tells you why and how you can win? And there are clients who will call around until they find the least expensive attorney that they can find. The least expensive attorney tends to make up for that low retainer by doing less work. Examples of doing less work include being less available. Third, you say “all of the sudden they are unavailable” after they get the retainer. That tends to happen for one of two reasons: (1) the attorney has too many clients; or (2) the client has paid a low retainer. If the client has paid a high retainer, then the attorney will be available because being available enables the attorney to bill for the work. The client who pays an $8000 retainer to an attorney who bills $300 per hour will get more services than the client who pays $1000 down and $300 - $500 per month to the same attorney will get. One of these days, I will make a video explaining why this happens. Four, I acknowledge the possibility that an attorney can lose or overlook evidence. However, “most attorneys” do not overlook or lose important evidence or documentation supporting your case. Attorneys love winning just as much as their clients do. Losing or overlooking important evidence prevents attorneys from winning cases. Accordingly, most attorneys avoid losing or overlooking important evidence. Now, the less an attorney is paid, the less the attorney tends to prepare. And that lack of preparation can increase the possibility that the attorney overlooks something that was important. But that does not mean that “most” attorneys overlook or lose important evidence or documents.

Are you saying that is something you recommend, or are you saying that is something I recommended? The way your message came in to me prevents me from having any context for your comment. Also, if the 7176 represents your birth date, then belated birthday wishes are in order.🙂

Blanchard v Admin. I’m representing myself and even tho the case has been going on I just committed in my brain a few days ago

Thank you for reaching out to me. You may use the link in the description section of the video to schedule a phone call. Once you schedule the call, either my assistant or I will call to obtain more information information about your situation. After I determine whether I can help you, I will provide the rates for the services.

Chat-GPT will put many lawyers out of business in certain areas of the law. But it will not eliminate the need for lawyers. I can think of multiple examples to illustrate this point, but I will give you one. Imagine that you are representing yourself in the courtroom. You want the judge to look at your document. You start to hand the document to the judge. The opposing party stands up and says, “Objection: Hearsay. Plus, that document violates the local rule applicable to submissions of business records exceptions to the hearsay rule.” And the judge looks at you and says, “Your response?” If Chat-GPT did not tell you about local rules or responding to hearsay objections, then you are in trouble. There is a very real possibility that the judge is not going to look at your evidence. And once the judge decides not to look at your evidence, are you going to know what to do in order to get another court to look at your evidence at another period in time? It is possible that artificial intelligence will tell you how to address that issue. However, there is a significant difference between reading about how to handle that matter and actually handling that matter in real time, perhaps for the first time in your life, when you did not know that matter was going to become an issue. Chat-GPT will help you “file answers to motions” and “structure a lawsuit against another person.” However, once you are actually in the courtroom, artificial intelligence is not very useful in situations that require you to think on your feet.

What state is involved? What is MYS?

I have not received one check from a court.🤷🏽‍♂️

In the event that you would like to schedule a meeting to talk about your matter in more detail, you will schedule a phone call by using the link in the description of the video or by using the following link: DamonCalendar.as.me/

any update on this situation?

Don't take the plea bro take that shit in front of 12 I was in same situation I took the plea ... disorderly conduct I wish I hadn't

Have you reached to any lawyers in the area who handle those kinds of cases?

Sounds like medical malpractice. If so, a medical malpractice attorney would be happy to take your case for a percentage. You definitely need an attorney here because the doctor's insurance company will fight like hell to not pay.

How can anyone possibly answer that question? There are thousands of cases that take place every day. And no one is keeping track of the exact number of wins by anyone.
