Zealously Protecting Your Rights And The Future Of Your Business
Some things about practicing law are the same wherever you may roam. See the following from a Solicitor’s blog: Legal Orange.http://legalorange.wordpress.com Originally posted on Legal Orange: So rather than live in fear of the “To Do’s” mounting up as I am out of the office I decided to log in remotely. Bad idea. There was almost 200 things to do.…
Not too long ago, an almost exact situation occurred here in Minneapolis at a large law firm except I think the con was a fake litigator. There were big concerns about any attempts to challenge the cases she worked on as be invalid or subject to motions to reopen, challenge settlement agreements and vacate judgments by opposing counsel wanting to…
Since the last post already gave away the end of the story, I thought I’d go back to the beginning and try to fill the blanks. As you may recall, I was describing a win I had recently that was somewhat surprising. My client had sued his former employer and business partner and won via summary judgment. Really isn’t anything…
I got a nice win this week I really wasn’t expecting. I always try to keep my client’s expectations low, realistic, but low. I find I can meet or exceed their expectations that way and keep them happier. In this business, you cannot over-promise just to get a case signed up and then never deliver what you promised.

A guest post from my law clerk. Next up, we’ll get the new attorney to write one. Scott’s writing below is kind (and well done), even if he does call me old. Your check is docked! My name is Scott Jurchisin, and I am the new law clerk at MKT Law. I went to college at Hamline University, where I…
Bing and Microsoft get the award for this year’s (so far) finest, fine print award. Yes, Bing & MS win the coveted Lighted Magnifying Glass Trophy for 2014 (so far)!!!! I suppose I shouldn’t complain. They sent me a card for $200 in free ads! But when you flip it over and read the fine print that the asterix obviously…
My new desk is finally complete! It was supposed to be for my new law clerk (who isn’t very new any more) and was going to be done back in May–Five months later: TA-DA! Now that I’ve hired my first Associate Attorney (more later) I’ll just say it’s for the new attorney. Just to be special, ya know? Now that…
Following is my research report of actual case quotes/snippets that I found interesting (for some reason or another) while I was researching the Question: Can you be sanctioned for bringing a frivolous or otherwise improper Rule 11 Motion for Sanctions? Answered: Yes and you don’t even need to provide the 21-day safe-harbor period! See Fed.R.Civ.P. 11 (c)(2)(“If warranted, the court…
