You're a crack up!!! Have a good sleep.I'm even getting on my own nerves.......
Good night, friends!
My thoughts are that a high powered lawyer wouldn’t have taken FD as a client.
The main reason being FD wanted to run the show and tell the lawyer how to do things! In FD’s mind, the loud talking, bullying NP was a better fit to FD’s personality. NP would get media attention which is what FD wanted.
Another reason he selected NP, IMO, is NP was cheaper and would work with FD on payment arrangements.
My opinions only.
And, keeping with the lawyer reviews....I was rereading an article about a number of FD attorneys "jumping ship" in early June:
His divorce attorney (family court), Michael Rose, gave the court the following explanation: From the Greenwich Time: Lawyers looking to drop Fotis Dulos in divorce case, loan lawsuit
Meanwhile, a new court date has been set in the couple’s contentious divorce case after Michael Rose, a lawyer representing Fotis Dulos, asked a judge to let him withdraw.
“Good cause exists to grant this motion because considerations other than compensation prevent the firm from continuing to represent the defendant,” Rose wrote in a motion filed Thursday. “Counsel represents that the withdrawal will have no effects on the client’s interests.”
And, Mawhinney and Markowitz also asked to be excused. These attorney represented FD in the civil suit. From the same article as above:
Markowitz and Mawhinney, a firm in Bloomfield, filed papers that they were looking to withdraw their representation of Dulos, citing the retirement age of one partner and a new focus on a different kind of law for another.
And, the final attorney (civil suit) to drop FD was John Clifford. It was reported that he said, "Serious issues...make it impossible under our rules of professional conduct to continue,” wrote Clifford, based in Hartford. He added: “The attorney-client relationship has clearly broken down.”
Don't you all wish these attorneys could testify about their relationships with FD? Wonder if the bromance between FD and NP will last? Maybe NP doesn't mind being lied to by his client. Only time will tell, eh?

And also, some might think that he was a good choice because he is like Jose Baez was, and high-priced defendant attorneys.
They try to make 80% of what is in media to drown out fact based media reports, or more about themselves and their Antics versus what is going on with THE CASE IN CHIEF.
The media has so many hits and clicks on the Antics and appearances that have nothing to do with the case in Chief, they don't feel the need to do investigative journalism and report on the case itself. M o o
And from his results, I think he has been 100% successful in looking at the threads lately. Folks are not concentrating on the case itself and the evidence to be learned and or discussed.
No digs on anyone here, just an observation.
The last few days and week have been more about his Antics in media versus the case..... by a significant amount.
Not only in the mainstream media, but here on the criminal sleuthing pages.
I think that is their primary goal with high profile defense attys, And they have been very very successful in this case.
Moo
I literally laughed out loud!MT needs her mommy’s credit card to pay for her Hotel ( sorry typo, I meant Motel),
gas, food, car insurance, blow outs, manicure’s, 25% off Nordstrom Rack Stiletto’s , Starbucks pumpkin spice Latte
(It’s almost October) , Botox (much needed),
National Enquirer, Star, Hola Magazines, blue blazer from Brooks Brothers, nude knee highs and let’s throw in a few pairs of bell bottom pants for good measure .
Need I say more ............
I am not @gitana1 but each state's bar has a code of ethics regarding lawyers seeking to be dismissed - the Judge rules whether or not it will be granted based on that current status of the case - a lawyer can't just quit if there are pending motions, hearings, etc if the Judge feels it will hurt the client IMO (and based on what our lawyers say). If they were granted leave from the case, the Judge must have thought the case was at a point where it would not hurt the client and another attorney could take it on but the client usually has a specified number of days to get a new attorney based on what I have seen. Gitana1 will chime in I'm sure. CT may have specific guidelines JMOWhat is the Paul Harvey rest of the story? Were they all able to be released by the judge?
If I recall correctly, it is very hard to be released from a case. Perhaps @gitana1 can give better insight as to how three of his lawyers were released, if indeed they were when they requested.
ITA. Yes yes and yes.And also, some might think that he was a good choice because he is like Jose Baez was, and high-priced defendant attorneys.

I get the sense that they (LE) are waiting for her to come to her senses, but she is too stupid to get there. She isn’t giving them what they need, and it seems as though her story only changes when they tell her that they have the proof that she has lied about a specific thing, so she gives it up, just a little. She and her mother looked pretty smug to me in the videos where they were either walking in, or walking out of Weinstein’s office. Why does a 44 year old woman need her mother with her anyway? She has a pretty fine attorney there, and it’s his job to try and keep her out of trouble-what’s her mom doing there? I would never want my parents with me at that age, if I was in the kind of trouble that she is in. I don’t think her parents are imploring her to tell the truth; I think they are telling her not to tell them anything, and that as long as she keeps her mouth shut, she won’t be arrested for murder. She is still going down for tampering-I hope she knows it. I wonder if she ever watched Orange is the New Black?
I agree, but I don’t think it’s because he really cares about the poor kid on the play ground being bullied. He just likes to be different, the odd ball, because he likes the negative attention he gets from it. He likes to annoy people, rub them the wrong way, go against the grain. He’s full of himself and something else...I know nobody likes Norm. But there is just something about him. He's annoying. He likes to fight. He uses words we may need to look up. He has a ponytail.
He's the guy in grade school ( aging myself) who takes up for the kid being bullied on the playground.
Just sayin'.
Don't pelt me with rotten tomatoes.
MOO.
My God, what would be worse? lol. And yeah, that judge...I almost dread the trial with NP’s antics, objections, and circle of words trying to mix up the jury. I hope the Judge sits on him and makes him behave like a good defense lawyer but I have my doubts.
Then there is always this...FD fires NP, gets a new lawyer and wears his bracelet for another several years.
