P.S. It's easy to be brilliant when you can criticize auction houses for disclosing too much and disclosing too little.

Actually I was laughing at your blog.

Why?

P.S. This is the actual, unedited, and completely original front scroll of your website (that's right, kids, this was intentional). Now everyone can have a good laugh.

By the way, given that you think my blog is such a joke, I figured I would add your website to my signature. That way, people can see what a real website should look like.

I like how you posted the congratulatory emails you received from other collectors about the 'interviews' you did of other collectors. That was a nice touch. That and your 'T206 Collectors Forum' which includes such threads as "B/S/T" and "Share Your Collection" and "Show Your Signed T206" and "Grading T206 Cards" and "T206 Forum - Any interest??" Of course, no one but you has ever posted on any of these threads -- and never will.

You're a bit delusional and smug and self-satisfied. Probably not the best guy to be criticizing me for advertising what members of the press have said about me in my pretty damn successful career.

Paul at what point did you figure out it was intentional?

Crazy idea but it’s a business website and as a business he may want to use quotes that others have made about his legal performance to give confidence to perspective new clients. I know what you’re saying crazy and risky move on his part…

Also Jeff wasn't laughing at Leon but laughing in disagreement with Leon’s statement. Leon doesn’t have a problem with anyone disagreeing with him, and doing so isn’t showing a lack of respect for the effort of the site etc. even Leon will tell you that.

Cheers,

John

That forum idea was short-lived. I've been meaning to take it down for some time. Thanks for the reminder. I took it down. Any more helpful tips?

Also, a solo practitioner should, of course, have references to the quality of his work on his website. Nobody would begrudge that. If that was all we had here, I hardly think it would be worth mentioning.

In all honesty, I hope Jeff keeps it up there because it is really pretty funny. I'm thinking of adding the Law&Order theme music and putting it on YouTube to see if we can get it to go viral.

There is a fine line between quality advertising and sharing with prospective clients that this lawyer has an ego the size of Manhattan.

Except I actually have clients who hire me because of my past, public successes. Unlike you who has neither.

Now care to stop obsessing about me and get back to the issue raised on this thread?

Prospective Client: "Saw your website. Love it, darling. Are you available to give me 'a relentless pounding' later this evening?"

I was thinking more along the lines of "Glory Days". Or "What have you done for me lately".

(Sorry Jeff, I couldn't resist. Keep it current.

Paul,

You just sound like you’re on your third glass of Bitter Grape Vineyard’s 2012 grand reserve. Not looking to debate but I don’t see what is so outlandish about Jeff’s webpage advertising and your issue with it. I can see he ticked you off by ragging your blog....but not sure how that links to his business??

Second even if Jeff has a huge ego, which for the record he’s always been down to earth to me. Name one successful defense attorney who doesn’t or hasn’t had a huge ego.

It takes a certain level of arrogance and ego to fight some of these cases etc. I don’t think many folks would have said Johnny Cochran, Gloria Allred, Anne Bremner, F. Lee Bailey & Robert Shapiro were salt of the earth.

I have twice the underserved ego Jeff has and nobody in the NY times has said anything about me…Jeff pass on your PR guy to me right away will ya.

Cheers,

John

I get it. You on Jeff's side.

It's a snotty way to disagree with someone's statement. I don't think regular board posters should be snotty to Leon.
