Andy from private IP /all I have a client who is literally dying from the stress of litigation. Unsure what to do. Advice, please. The other party is represented by a crazy sole practitioner who is relentlessly shredding my client with a superhuman level of work day and night, including an endless stream of motion filings and other proceedings. I have five attorneys in my law firm and we have not been able to keep up with the barrage of communications and filings, nor can my client afford to do so. I received an email from the client yesterday stating that he had been in and out of the hospital for the last month, which is why I didn't hear from him. He indicated that he has a heart condition, has little time left to live, and is under doctor's orders to avoid all stress. Good luck with that here. What am I supposed to do ethically if a client is going to die from the litigation? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. #LawFirm Fri, 18 Oct 2024 13:30:53 -0700
whiteguyinchina from private IP /all Can you appeal to the judge? Can you show opposing counsel is harassing? Even if you lose the motion the judge may be more sympathetic Sat, 19 Oct 2024 06:36:11 -0700
Wily from private IP /all Is this for a divorce case? Bro talk about cruel and inhumane. Also, can't collect child support if your ex is dead. Sat, 19 Oct 2024 07:23:06 -0700
Andy from private IP /all It's a divorce plus a small civil lawsuit that the ex-wife filed because she was in a psychotic episode and gifted my client $15,000 along with giving him flowers (crazy). She is a successful engineer at a major company and makes a lot of money, while my client is retired, unable to work, and suffering until he dies. Sad. Sat, 19 Oct 2024 10:13:57 -0700
zerosugar from private IP /all I am really sorry to hear about this man. Hope it gets resolved soon. I imagine you have already tried speaking with the crazy sole practitioner who seems to sort of be behaving as a hired gun. Can you request mediation at this point? Maybe a mediator could really solve things. What is the timeline for requesting mediation during divorce proceedings there? Sat, 19 Oct 2024 10:47:08 -0700
zerosugar from private IP /all You may also want to suggest your client go to the Mayo Clinic, even if he has to self pay with taking out a loan, it may be worth it to save his life.
