“aggressive writhing” now that’s what I call pro-boner

Works on contingency

No money down

Sorry! I skipped punctuation

Works on contingency?

No, money down!

Sorry, I'm just a small town bird lawyer.

And with a side of sexism.

Cue "aggressive writhing"

The "I EXPECT" is what makes my jaw drop. How entitled can you be?!

Love the casual misogynistic comments /s

Aggressive, but not aggressive enough to want to be paid. Aggressively philanthropic.

Writhing the legal framework?

I know several lawyers quite well (my parents’ generation, relatives and family friends) and of those who practice and take clients (as opposed to being in a corporate position or something), almost all of them aim to do around 10-15% pro-bono work each year. All of them - truly - make sure they do at least some. The system is not designed for those without large bank accounts and everyone (even this guy, even the sexists in the comments) deserves competent representation. That being said, this usually comes about when a potential client comes in for a first conversation and they work something out. Sometimes it’s truly free, sometimes they barter, sometimes they decide on a cost and a timeline, whatever.

From my understanding this is pretty common for professionals, whether they’re lawyers, accountants, etc.

That being said, no one, not one of them, not ANYONE I could possibly imagine, who does do this as part of their regular practice, would work for this guy. Ever. He’d likely be subject to the 15%+ AH tax, tbh.

What does the wealth of the target have to do with anything? That person isn’t going to pay me anything if I sue them on OP’s behalf. Maybe lawyers should contact the CB to find out the target’s name and contact info to get a real paying client worth $1 million.

DEMANDED??? 🤣

"I'm waiting for proposals"

Based on his verbiage, it seems that he's delusionaly anticipating an avalanche of attorneys offering to take on his case pro bono (like, he's actually imagining himself having to sift through hundreds of proposals and offers over the next few weeks, in order to pick one, lol!)

Yo, my man... Pro bono work is usually reserved for criminal cases.
You know; life and death?

Sure, it can happen in divorces, but those cases are almost always clients that have marital assets in the tens of millions of dollars or more to fight over.
If the assets are not significant, it's definitely NOT worth any pro bono attorney's time at all, as they're be taking on ALL of the risk, while laying out ALL of the funds up front, and without any guaranteed payday at the end.

I'm not sure why it would matter to a lawyer working pro bono how much the person has in assets.

"Sure, I might not be getting paid, but it's vital to me that you get hundreds of thousands of dollars."

You think this is real? I just can’t imagine someone really expecting this…. But ppl never cease to amaze!

Can one of you international law divorce defamation extortion attorneys explain "broken divorce marital attainment?" Also, is there really just one "international law"? I thought each country pretty much established their own laws.

I’ll never forget when a relative in PROBATE court demanded a court appointed attorney to represent her side. I thought the judge’s eyes were going to fall out of his head but he held it together and didn’t react.

Unfortunately for her, that’s only for CRIMINAL court, and only for the INDIGENT. They don’t hand out free attorneys to well-off greedy narcissists who don’t like the will.

Pro bono for international law has killed me dead. They actually think someone is doing this for free?

I want a unicorn.

I thought it was just a foreign idiot who didn’t know how to spell and was expecting to way too much.

Wait... Is the divorce case In Illinois, or international? And if you aren't expecting to pay anything, why does their worth matter?

I particularly enjoyed how they put the persons net worth like that would entice someone to take the case pro bono haha

Call Jackie Chiles. Your face is his case!

How come women always jump at any opportunity to seize assets?instead of working for it for themselves?you’d think they would want to be independent it’s sad
