She said “everyone in this room now hates you.” “Huh?” She explained she was married to a state court Judge who divorced her. She felt she got hosed, so she went to law school to find out what happened.
Eventually she hired a second firm to sue the firm that represented her in the divorce for malpractice. Eventually she hired a third firm to sue the second firm.
By the time I met her she was on the fifth-
Someone walks in your office and says “I want to hire you to sue the firm I hired to sue the firm that I hired to sue the firm that I hired to sue my divorce attorney.”
How the fuck do you take that case?

Never go with a hippie to a second location; and
Never be someone's second lawyer.

Never sue another lawyer for malpractice. You'd think "Don't shit in your nest" would be a basic rule, but in any city, there are three of four guys who can't get clients any other way who hold themselves out as guys who sue other lawyers. And almost every one of them is exactly the sort of shitty human being you'd expect.

They don't. Clients who are suit-happy like that woman Hank described are congenital assholes. You can't reason with them, and they're certain "justice" has somehow eluded them and everybody they sue is to blame.
Justice has eluded them in many instances. In a just universe, they'd accidentally fall feet first into a tree shredder.
