Agreed!

How do you define "unserious" when a suit is actually filed?

Well, I suppose there are some groups that might be more on the ambulance chaser side of the profession. Perhaps they’re mostly just looking for a quick settlement. Maybe they don’t have much experience, because they’re fresh out of law school. Maybe they mostly practice probate law, or do oil and gas leasing.

Or maybe they are big guns with $3,000 per hour billing rates with clients beating down their doors, lots of experience in contract litigation, with a long and glorious record of winning every case they take on.

It was intended to be a bit vague to avoid maligning any of the counselors at the bar. But I suppose if you insist on more detail for this query, this seems like one way to frame it.

Seems like they're on the more affordable end of things. The google reviews are....interesting.

Sounds to me as if I'd have to split hairs to differentiate the first group of ambulance chasers from the second.

Interesting. Lots of things in the documents and motions that contradict things we've assumed or had been told.

Something new I learned right in the first line about Joseph’s preferred pronouns, or perhaps the crack legal team’s attention to detail.

Methinks their attention to good English is also lacking.

Indeed, it's a different story in several respects.

Hmmm. This from Mr. Levin's Linkedin page.

I practice real estate law almost exclusively. I work closely with real estate agents and other real estate professionals. The goal is to represent the client, while updating all parties involved in the transaction.

I recommend reading the complaint. Only a few pages.
