Lin Wood is brash but he's a damn good attorney.
Scruples elude him. Arrogance made him incompetent here. Bad advice.

And honestly, Lin Wood is doing the only thing that could harm his clients. Malpractice IMO. Good for him.

Why is that?

I hope to never need his services. I have hired a lawyer I liked less personally than another before though. Needed representation for my son in a custody case. Went to hire an ex classmate of mine. We needed to get my grandson away from his borderline personality disordered mother. My buddy suggested hiring a female attorney he knew instead. Met her and she was super intense, very bright but really high strung. It turned out to be the best decision I've made in the last ten years. This woman knew how to handle the case involving such a manipulative narcissist. Many hearings and thousands of dollars later my son won custody. If I had hired the lawyer I got along with the best (my buddy from college) I doubt my grandson (he's 6) and I would be going fishing after I pick him up from school tomorrow
Oh how I wish though that kind and compassionate lawyers always won at the end of the day! Although I think that maybe they do - if only that they have better sleep! Just my opinion.
Ok so you know I'm working on transcribing Dr. Phil episodes. Well something just jumped out at me when we were discussing whether he was a public figure or not. And why
did he do the CBS interview if he didn't want to be in the spotlight?.... well I think JR states it clearly to Dr. Phil when Dr. Phil asks him if he regrets doing the CNN interview on Jan 1, 1997. Here's the quote.
DP to JR- "As you look back on that, was that a mistake?"
JR- "Yeah."
DP- "Why?"
JR- "Well for several reasons. One it served no purpose. We're..we're in a
state of shock. And secondly, once you participate in the public arena, you
become a public figure."
(He had a sort of slight smirk when he said it.)
I think we all missed this tidbit when we watched it the first time. Apparently it had been discussed before they ever decided to do the Dr. Phil show. Actually I would even go further as to wonder if Lin Woods, being also Dr. Phil's lawyer, set this up TO make Burke a public figure prior to the CBS doctumentary. JMOO
I do have to admit, I don't know much about LW but the fact he allowed his "client" on a show where all of the US would see BR'S weird and inappropiate
responses and behavoir was foolhardy. Not only that, but his tweets and threats (Unless done by one of his underlings) were inappropiate and desperate sounding. Just doesn't seem like the sort of attorney who is making the wisest decisions for his clients.

Of course Wood arranged it.Depends on the kind of attorney you'd be looking for. If you need and can afford a high-priced bully who knows how to intimidate people and push the buttons of your wealthy enemies, yeah, I'm sure he'd do the trick for you. Anything else? You'd probably be better off with recommended local counsel.
I'm still wondering about the Burke interview. Knowing the connection between Phil and Wood, you have to wonder if Wood arranged it. But it was such a stupid thing to do with the CBS show coming right on its heels. Not only did Burke end up looking like a whack job who very well could have been the killer kid CBS concluded he was, he substantially lowered his odds of prevailing on any defamation case in several different ways.
So is Wood totally overrated, or did Burke insist on doing it?
I keep wondering if he knew that if Burke was accused, the Ramseys would want to sue and thought that lawsuit would fail because of their guilt. So he let Burke become a limited purpose public figure going on the show (since BR being a public figure makes any lawsuit more difficult to win), so he had that to point to as the reason the eventual law suit failed, rather than it failing because of their guilt? Or maybe he's just clueless or Burke is a grown man who will do what he wants and he wanted to go on Dr Phil.
Thanks Dave, I've been her all along, just a little hard to be heard in a crowded room lol.
Did anybody happen to see JRs rebuttal to the CBS special on A&E a few nights back? I thought he had promised Dr Phil that we'd heard the last of him? Another Ramsey lie lol.

Even criminal prosecuting attorneys can't be kind and compassionate. Family law attorneys even have to be tough, sometimes really tough. It's not about kind and compassionate, it's about results. I think I would have made a great lawyer, because I've always been very into JUSTICE. I would go after this case like that proverbial bulldog!
Dat horse......
Whatever the "Truth is in this case, the perpetrators of this dreadful crime against an innocent and defenseless little child will have to be accountable at some stage. You can only hide from your own conscience for a time but not forever, JMO.
