The defendant thinks he's a smooth talker, when really he's just a terrible liar - and subsequently embarrassed himself on national tv.

The defendant thinks he’s slick. He’ll be back in jail.

It's hard to believe the defendant when he can't even look the judge in the face while he's trying to lie.

He had the audacity to call somebody slimy and slick😳, but at the end he couldn't even look at the camera 😑 and tried to sneak out of the courtroom!😧😌😂😭

I love how the judge always educates us and everyone within earshot. Very good practice all around.

"I broke the law and needed someone to keep me out of jail. Now SOMEONE needs to pay me for losing work after I violated MY probation. Its only fair." Im glad she didnt waste much more than 10 min on him.

What kind of lawyer does not have a signed contract. Especially when dealing with criminal defendants. Both these people are suspect.

That defendant was trying to be slick. He had no intentions of paying and had the audacity to file a countersuit because of missing work for his court dates because of his actions.. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Defendant acting slow. Where he's looking off to. He can't even look the judge in the eyes.

That defendant was cocky for no reason...

The fact that he never looked her in the eye when saying anything shows he was lying the whole time

that lil dude was giving off weird vibes the way he was looking to the side and mumbling.

"because Lord knows if there's anybody you can trust its a guy who's violating his probation with another crime" 🤣🤣 she's not lying 😬

Something about The Defendant is off . He seem loco 🤷🏽‍♀️‼️

He was looking all over the place the defendent lol.

I don't think the lawyer is telling the complete story. Why would you NOT get the contract signed?!

The defendant is so dense.

The plaintiff had NO contract, nothing, if he hadn't been a lawyer the judge would have told him 'tough luck'...

I can hear Judge Judy asking the defendant what is he looking at?

Two foolish people. The lawyer continued the case without a contract. Then the defendant pulls out an unsigned retainer which shows he was aware of the fee instead of sticking to his story and saying that he thought he was legal aid and was doing the service for free.

Theyre both lying and the defendant doesn’t have all his screws....

That defendant was one of the most entertaining litigants I've ever seen.

that defendant has got L-L-L-L-L-L-L written alllllll over him!!!!! he's been on the legal merry-go-round long enough to know EXACTLY what he's doing AND how things work.

Um what is the defendant looking at shifty eyes... making me nervous

It was Doug's "Goodbyyye" for me! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Guy why are u staring off into space while talking to the judge?

I believe the defendant is trying inordinately hard not to listen to the other voices...

It amazes me that the defendant has made it so far in life.

Lol what a ridiculous fool!!! 😅😅🤣 He can’t even look the judge in the eye. His family must be so proud…lol

Defendent was a slime ball.

One should know you talking nonsense, once someone folds their arms, lean back and keep on saying "go on, what happened". 😂 Judge Milan was enjoying herself when the defendant was talking

The defendant is strange.

i thought the defendant was blind for a minute. he was talking in the judges direction but was not looking her in the eye

I love the way she stares at him!

Lol the guilty guy didnt talk probably cuz he knew that he was guilty

That defendant needs to be in jail where the other inmates can help him with that slick mouth.

I wouldn't want to talk to Doug either if I was the defendant.😅💯 The plaintiff and defendant are both skeptical 👩‍⚖️

I think the lawyer did negotiate that deal for him. The lawyer was a lil shady too though. If that deal had already been on the table, he could have just told the prosecutor he'd take it.

He thought he was being hired by a man heavy in the streets.

Lawyers will always stick together lol

I sincerely cannot find anything nice to say about the orange-teethed reptile plaintiff or the loopy-eyed defendant rambling into space... Gotta love our “justice” system. A caterer, for what? Serving hands not meals apparently, ole assault while on probation......

Does the dependent have a mental deficiency?

The fast-talking guy with the burgundy hat during the outside questions interlude is a cutie. Nice smile too. 😊

Is the defendant on drugs? He looks high as a kite.

3 words.. Little Yellow Bus..

I think the lawyer was looking for work, finds this lier and now the lier just doesn’t want to pay. This defendant is a slick guy trying to beat his system, he’s a slime ball. Lawyers aren’t cheap.

11:36- That dude was mad as hell 😂😂😂😂

Both are shady, but any other case without a lawyer involved, I don't think he would've won without evidence of an agreement...

LAWERS WILL Definitely always stick together

i got second hand embarrassment by watching that black man try to lie like that lol. I can`t.......

The defendant looked everywhere but at the judge!!! 😂

Mr Slick (defendant) knows how to milk the system. Pay your lawyer man...

The Defendant looks like a grown-up Webster.

I feel like the defendant should win solely on the fact that he so expertly outsmarted the plaintiff lol

I kept waiting in Judge to tell him to look her in the eye. Lol😫

Defendant: walk by with no eye contact.. Doug: ‘Goodbyeee’ 👋🏾. 😂😂😂😂😂

So interesting to watch a con man freestyle lie after lie based on what the judge says.

Two scammers scamming each other. 😂 I wish it was always like that, that’d be a just world. But I’m still not understanding how he hired that lawyer. Seems like a bit of watching out for your own kind. Saying you’ll hire someone is not the same as hiring them.

The defendant was quick to label the lawyer as slimy, but it was the defendant who is the king of slime. It oozed out of him every time he spoke, and it was visible to all honest people as he slithered out of court.

Who else had to watched this court hearing twice just to get a good laugh

“Axe” 😂 The Defendant thought he was gonna outsmart a lawyer AND a Judge. 😂😂😂

That dude couldn't even look at the judge in the face. Judge Judy would have destroyed him on that alone 😂

Some poor girl is gonna have his 5th baby that he doesn't pay child support for.

The fast talker outside is beautiful

Did HARVEY of all people just tell some one THEY talk fast lmao

You can tell the defendant is being honest because he refuses to look the judge in the eyes.

The defendant is a caterer? I wouldn't dare eat anything that he prepared or presented. He's too shady to be trusted with anything.

Everyone talking about the defendant not looking at the judge everyone dont make eye contact. and yall know this lawyer lying because if your law license is credible than why not sign papers 🙄 lawyers are sneaky.

What work did the attorney do? The defendant said the offer from the DA was made without the lawyers' input. Call the DA and ask if the lawyer negotiated the deal or did they just offer it to the defendant. They do that a lot to help clear cases faster.

So he just made his self that man lawyer ain't nobody ask for him smh

Beres is an absolute criminal and should be behind bars. There’s no way I would ever want to be a criminal defense attorney. I would not have the patience for the Beres type.

I actually think this was a tough call for the judge. While I'm not totally convinced that the slick talking plaintiff initially hired the lawyer not getting a retainer agreement is also suspicious.

This plaintiff seems shady like an ambulance chaser but in courtrooms.

The defendant is dodgy.

At the end the dog in the girl’s hand was like “put your hand down bih, you’re blocking my shot.”

I listened to the case very closely, and I just want to say...the tall, fast-talking black man Harvey interviewed on the street is FINE.

Sorry but that defendant is low key cute

I actually believe the defendant. The lawyer seems like an ambulance chaser who forced himself unto the defendant's case.

The defendant needs to work on his communication skills

JM'S impression of the defendant was HILARIOUS!!😂 I'm so glad I didn't even GLANCE at the comment section; dude really tried to act pro se, lmao!!!🤣

the defendant looks like the guy from the disney show the famous jet jackson

The funny thing is that the lawyers are the reason. This guy is still allowed to keep breaking laws

She always said no writting no contract, now, for a lawyer, she believes his word. I smell shit

Name is " Beres" should be "Embarrassed"...😳😌😂

The defendant can’t even look the judge in the eyes.

The defendant gets help then acting like this

Some people just belong in prison. I wouldn't trust the defendant with $5.

Either he can't handle the beauty of Judge Milian... or he's a liar with no balls & can't do eye-to-eye contact when lying lol. Definitely both.

Well the judge decides the attorney (Lawrence) is due his $2500...g'bye. :) (Now it's Beres's turn to give Doug Llewelyn the cold shoulder...)

He never asked him to be his lawyer but some how they both kept showing up to court together🤔 that is so weird😬 I think one of them is a stalker😱

I think he was slimy too. I believe he was hanging out in the Court room looking for new cases and this one just fall in his lap. Sometimes people know who they can "sweet talk."

"Waiting for Mr.Green"

At 4:27 he made a Freudian slip when he said 'I discussed my fee with me', exactly he didn't discuss it with the plaintiff though, he discussed it with himself! The plaintiff forced himself on the defendant and the defendant NEVER signed anything, so in reality the plaintiff had no case, but the judge found in the plaintiff's favour because he is a lawyer and they protect each other...

Don’t commit the crime if you don’t want to pay for a lawyer and don’t want PD. Defendant already on probation= loser. The defendant is the fool.

The plaintiff is an ambulance chaser.

15 seconds in I'm noticing the attorney can't seem to put his tie on straight. I'd fire him as well.

He wasn’t planning on paying I’m glad he has to pay

This is a case of two crooked people. I'm almost positive that the plaintiff weaseled his way onto this guy's case. He was eavesdropping in the court house - probably looking for someone in a tough spot to hire him - and approached the guy. Then he carsalesman-ed himself to the already angry guy and the defendant probably just said something like "yeah yeah fine" or whatever which is non-commital but the lawyer felt he could call it a verbal agreement so he showed up at the next case. The defendant then was probably like, oh sweet, I got me lawyer but since he knew he never intended to say yes, even though he knew the game, he figured he could just play dumb and see where the chips fall. They both need to backhanded for their sleaziness

The defendant just looks like everything out of his mouth is a lie. He can't even look at the judge straight while he talks... what is he looking at off to the side and up in the air!?

That lawyer is a con artist and is very shady. Although the defendant actions were a little questionable , that lawyer had no signed contract and clearly admitted to shady practices.
