John J Nazarian said recently that the last time he saw this many “Hail Mary’s”, he was at the Vatican in Rome a few years back, people were wailing, and it was happening again in a Los Angeles Superior Court…..Well, what John Nazarian began to see on Friday, February 28, 2014, Ron Rale, Esq. Rubbing Ben Gay on his shoulders and he was not getting ready to ‘grapple’, no he was working his throwing arm. Ron was brought in to try and repair the damage, however not intentional (inexperience) brought fourth by the “Gal in the Flats“, one of those associates who thinks she is ready for the big time…‘not yet grass hopper!’ Ron Rale is the “ Fixer “ from Trope and Trope, there once was two, now only one lives on, Stephen Knowles, Esq. (deceased) was one of the best lawyers and ‘fixers’ to ever live. Stephen had a presence and a voice tone that made you listen, Rale? He has an incredible arm, he can throw far and fast. Thus Nazarian’s thoughts on what he sat and witnessed the other day. The ‘Hail Mary’ route is a very long forward pass in American football and obviously in American Divorce made in desperation with only a small chance of success, especially at or near the end of a half or the beginning of the end’
Larry M. Bakman, Esq. had the former associate, ‘Flats’, from Trope and Trope talking to herself at one point and it was getting worse. Adding insult to injury she was grabbing at straws and shoes! Talk about being out gunned! BAM!
Enter Ron Rale, Esq. Ron is to some degree a celebrity lawyer in his own right, just look him up. He was just on TMZ a few weeks ago, and was someone that Anna Nicole Smith truly trusted. Also one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, a real “Mensch “. Rale is used to getting thrown into cases that are floundering and is tasked with trying to save the day and to try and salvage what seems impossible situations. Now to get an even better foot hold, what else do they do? Enter ‘Mr. Criminal Defense’ person! Jacob Yale Glucksman, Esquire, Mr. Glucksman has been practicing law since 2006, had an impressive track record with the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office. And would appear to strike out on his own he too, it would appear is fond of “Hail Mary’s“ For two highly talented Jewish Lawyers I have to say, the “Vatican would be proud”, of you both! Ron and Jacob!
![eye_finger[1]](http://desperateexes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/eye_finger1.jpg)
Mr. Glucksman came into the picture literally out of nowhere, and someone should begin to thank god that he did. He was the only one who seemed to get Judge Ralph C. Hofer’s attention, after he pulled his finger out of his honors eye of course.
Glucksman and Rale worked well together and today seemed to be finally coming to the bitter end of a nasty ‘Dad & Mom’ issue… ‘The Associate’, and as hard as she tried to get heard, the boys kept her quiet, that too seemed like an act of god! I was actually waiting for Rale to stuff his sock into the associates mouth to keep her shut up, Ron was able to keep his shoes and his socks on.
For Larry M. Bakman, Esq. it was all good, as far as I am concerned a better job you could not have found. Especially in defending what does seem like a BS contempt to a restraining order, we will see very soon. Many of the charges were dropped against ‘Dad’, however there is enough in the eves to cause some real problems. ‘Dad’ is not going to jail, of course not, this is DIVORCE court and quiet frankly I feel that much or all of this is total BS as I stated previously. As many will say, ‘you both married each other‘ and for the sake of the child, give it a break! There will be a verdict and one real soon from Judge Hofer, I am thinking it will be fair and well intentioned, and if it is not, Larry M. Bakman I am thinking has a plan B….. Thank you all for a very entertaining time in “88”!
Note: I, John Nazarian PI, had a chance to speak with Mr. Glucksman this afternoon, he thought I was defense counsel’s investigator, nooooooo I explained I was present for the entertainment of this case only, nothing more nothing less. Frankly I would have left after the first day, but I was dragged in after hearing my name? However, if Mr. Glucksman has a desire to throw a fat check my way, $6,500.00 a day would be right in the ball park! Also, Jacob, thanks for the ‘new’ vocabulary words. And in closing, ANY friend of Adam Lipsic is a friend of mine and the crew at DESPERATEEXES.com and Nazarian and Associates.

March 2nd, 2014 Celebrity PI John J Nazarian, Courthouse ramblings, Desperate Exes, Divorce, Divorce Hollywood Style, John J Nazarian, John J Nazarian P. I., Larry M. Bakman, Lawyers, Stanley Mosk Courthouse, Straight Talk with John J Nazarian, Trope and Trope No Comments » 
Besides having a love for fast cars, faster motor cycles and the occasional former Russian jet aircraft (yes, he is an avid pilot) Larry M. Bakman loves the word “NO”. Just ask the crew from Trope and Trope! Department 88 was almost like the good old days when The Honorable Scott Gordon was the sitting judge, entertainment central. The Honorable and soft spoken Ralph C. Hofer (Judge Hofer has been assigned to Dept. 88 since January 2, 2012). It is reported that Judge Hofer is not happy when lawyers show up for trial and NOT being PREPARED with all trial exhibits…..I am guessing that Judge Hofer was not happy with Trope and Trope’s crew during fridays ‘contempt’ hearing. BTW, we at DESPERATEEXES.COM enjoy and have paid very close attention to Judge Hofer and he is not afraid to do the right thing and to correct something that needs correcting. Anyone in front of Judge Hofer is getting the attention of the court and again, Judge Hofer has brought a new tone to the ‘Old 88′.
Trope and Trope’s representatives unfortunately looked like ‘bears on ice’, all that was missing was that old circus organ music. The lawyers from what was once one of the most influential firms in the country were fumbling and tumbling around like first year law students on spring break! Mr. Bakman even poked a little fun at them in saying, ‘this is one of the best law firms in Los Angeles?’.
Sarah M. Engelbert, Esq. is very fond, it appears, to wearing ‘flats’. This is an excellent idea as she seems to keep at least one in foot in her mouth at all times. And I am sure that at times she appeared to have both in her mouth. It almost seemed that the only thing she could do right was to sit at the counsel table in Dept. 88. And as long as she was quiet, all was well…..However, she just cant stop and will dig and dig unless someone takes her shovel away. All I could see was dirt flying and a faint sound of a voice from the deep hole she had dug for herself! Englebert’s approach is most often, grumpy and a more fowl disposition I question could be found! Unless you want to look at Larry M. Bakman, he too can be less than charming when he is on the attack, “NO”! On Sarah M. Engelbert’s firm’s profile it is written that Ms. Englebert has a “Certificate in Dispute Resolution from Pepperdine University of Law”. Really? I am thinking that her “certificate” is right next to my “certificate” that I received in ‘Playing well with others’.
Larry Bakman is defending “A Dad” against “A Mom” and at one point yesterday Judge Hofer stated clearly that he was ‘dismissing all charges of contempt’ against Bakman’s client, Dad. Well, over the lunch break, the Trope team brought in a defense lawyer, I am thinking to go up against Bakman. Not sure whose wisdom this was? As when Mr. Defense lawyer stood up and stated, ‘I have prosecuted thousands of cases’, that got an immediate response from the bench. Judge Hofer, stated that he too had a little experience in prosecution as a former Asst. U.S. Attorney with the Presidential Task Force on Narcotics enforcement! I wonder if Ms. Engelbert had an extra shovel for this equalizer to the Bakman Factor? On the other hand maybe a nice soft cotton glove as he pokes Judge Hofer in the eye!
Between Ms. Englebert’s ‘foot in mouth disease’ and Mr. Criminal Defense lawyer’s appearance to deal with the ‘The Bakman Factor’, this was a bigger mess then what had taken place prior to lunch. Judge Hofer’s decision to ‘dismiss’ this entire action is the correct decision as ‘Mom’s’ lawyers were not prepared and had not served any subpoena’s on the cell phone service and did NOT have a custodian of records for any contractual issues….’Lawyers NOT prepared to go forward for trial’. Larry M. Bakman quite frankly caught ‘Mom’s’ lawyers with one, or both, feet in her mouth and the other lawyer from T&T, trying to ‘fix’ what was not ‘fixable’. The best thing that Ms. Engelbert, lawyer can do is to back away from this mess and save her client a whole lotta money…..I know, this is a business, but the service is failing miserably, my humble opinion.
And the biggest surprise was Mr. Wayne B. Norris, Bakman’s expert witness, who gave an incredible example in how cell phone texting can be ‘played with’! Even when a number is showing up on the receiving end, it may not be the place the message was sent from. And again, ‘Mom’s’ lawyers looked like three nicely dressed fly traps, mouths wide open trying to stop the unstoppable and catching ‘flies’, or in this case catching the verbal and the wrath of knowledge of Larry M. Bakman, lawyer.

The disruptive and painful experience that we call DIVORCE in this country has been well documented. Very well documented in the world of Country Music, one of my favorite listening pleasure, “Old School”. Country Music royalty, Tammy Wynette and her recording of “D.I.V.O.R.C.E.” was a huge hit in the late 60’s and continues to be today.
All of the same issues are present today as back when those songs were written. One of my favorites is “See the Big Man Cry Momma”, this is as good today as it was when it was written by Ed Bruce and first released in 1964. One of my favorite verse is, “But the judge had said I could never see them for the things I’d said and done”. As I said earlier, some things never change and judges are still issuing orders that for some seem tough. And to be perfectly honest they are very tough on both parties at times. If you get a chance go check out the version I have listed with Charlie Louvin singing the song.
One of my all time favorites is “She got the Goldmine (I got the shaft)” written by Dubois Timothy James and sung into history by Jerry Reed. “I’ll never forget the good times we had cause I am reminded every month when I send her the child support”. Say what you will as to the lay of the land, but it does seem the same thoughts and misery have been going on for at least 100 years. Much of what is sung in this song is as relevant today as it was again, when it was written.
Now if you are not a Country Music fan then that too is fine and I, as I always state, it is my opinion that counts. Who can disagree with the three songs I selected as not being as relevant today as back in the day?
The other day I walked out on the street
I happened to see
A pretty young woman a little bitty boy
And he looked back at me
See the big man cry momma
That’s what I heard him say
See the big man cry momma
He looks like his heart will break
I followed them to a pet shop window
The little boy stopped to see
He looked up at her said if I had a daddy
He’d buy that puppy for me
See the big man cry momma
That’s what I heard him say
See the big man cry momma
He looks like his heart will break
I wanted to tell him I was his dad
And he sure had a pretty mom
“BUT THE JUDGE HAD SAID I COULD NEVER
SEE THEM FOR THE THINGS I’D SAID AND DONE “
See the big man cry momma
That’s what I heard him say
See the big man cry momma
He looks like his heart will break
Son as you grow older
You’ll find someone who is dear
Just stick by her take care of her
And you will never hear
See the big man cry momma
That’s what I heard him say
See the big man cry momma
He looks like his heart will break
This was written by Ed Bruce and sung and performed by Charlie Louvin
Released in 1964

The other day after conducting interviews at the Men’s County Jail I was a little hungry. I always get hungry listening to a new client tell me that he did not kill anyone. I of course believe him, welcome to my world. And I was also longing for a hot dog, Soooo, like thousands of Americans in these great United States I decided to stop off at a Der Wienerschnitzel (the hot dog place that at one time was a great place to eat a dog….not so much anymore. The hotdogs here often taste too salty, BUT for an added fee they will SELL you a better dog). What have we as a people allowed corporate america to do to our country?
The location I chose this day was WIENERSCHNITZEL 5135 Laurel Canyon Blvd. North Hollywood, California. I decided to order a ‘combo’ and the final price was $7.78, the listed price was $5.99. The ‘smooth’ operator with the accent on the ordering device asked if I wanted “cheese” I said yes. Should they not tell you that cheese is extra? Some places do advise you when ordering, this place you will see is about trickery and deceit, read on. When I drove through the drive through I am assuming most of the victims who have been coming through here never asked the ultimate question? How did we go from $5.99 to $7.78? Well I did! Wait till you hear what this little ‘hustle of the hot dog’ was going to try and do to me!
This place appears to be a ‘family’ run operation as is many of the franchises here in Los Angeles are. 7-11, good luck ever finding a blond hair, blue eyed high school student working a job after school. Indians and lot of them, and most of these franchise owners like being able to speak their native language (Urdu – Punjabi) at these 7-11 franchises and to some degree Der Wienerschnitzel is the same.
Well I ask the girl trying to rip me off why did the price climb so quickly? She tells me the cheese is extra and I am going to be charged 16 CENTS FOR RELISH, that is 16 CENTS EACH! I looked at her and waited for a smile or a laugh, all I got was that dead pan look staring back at me with those dark and unmoving eyes. I asked her, “are the hot dogs good?”, in her little accent she said “yes sir’, I told her, “good you eat them” and drove away.
I then contacted the DER WIENERSCHNITZEL head office and then called. The nice young lady on the phone seemed taken aback by what I was telling them about a charge for ‘relish’. What next I asked, 37 cents for a bun?
The other day I got a call from a sheepish Muhammad, apologizing that this was all a misunderstanding. It was the “the computer program made the mistake”. Muhammad went on to tell me that “condiments such as mustard and onions are not on the system”. I snapped back and told him since the inception of hotdogs, mustard and relish is as common on hotdogs in these great United States as ‘Grated cheese on spaghetti and meatballs’.
Then I asked him, “why would a program exist to charge the buying public for relish on ANY HOT DOG?” He began to stutter and became flustered, he was lying to me and I caught these nickel and dime thieves red handed. I asked Muhammad how many of his customers had he ripped off for “relish” and he said he had no idea. Do the math, if they sell 200 hotdogs and screw over the buying public, $32.00 a day, this is GRAND THEFT money for these new Americans! I am waiting for an answer from the Der Wienerschnitzel corporation as to what they think about one of their franchise owners ripping off the American Public.
