Partner sent an email to all four of the associates (small firm) on Friday afternoon saying that he had two complaints and he wanted answers filed by Monday. One of us pointed out that the answers weren't even due for at least another week just based on date of service. And also that we didn't know anything about the case. He said he was trying to make the client happy. He had to go to get martinis but he could answer questions Monday. I think one of us responded "LOL no."

The partner drafted answers, sent them to the client. It became clear that the client was not going to respond quick enough (even by Friday!) so he requested an extension of time.

I handleda very difficult and convoluted succession for a black family. My client was astute and intelligent. We got along great. His family was difficult. Willfully ignorant.

Ever had an attorney randomly pull food that they somehow squished in their shoe during long court days. One day, it was taking forever in federal court due to the COVID backlog. An attorney was sitting at a table across from where I was sitting. Kept noticing him reaching down like he was scratching his foot then would bring his hand to his mouth. Very strange. Court concluded and I saw him by his car taking off his shoe and pulling a squished baggy with half a sandwich out of it.

Back before Covid, I represented the parents in a will contest case against the wife of the deceased. It was a sham marriage but you know how people like to fight over minute stuff. The deceased had been cremated and the parties were fighting over who was entitled to the ashes. I had the box of ashes in my office. It was getting ridiculous. I found a big urn with mini urns and ordered it. Scooped them out a couple spoons and nipped it in the bud. I still have leftover ashes for refills.
