Enter Department 83 with caution!  Judge Rudy Diaz is one of our favorites, he is always pleasant and well-tempered.  Well, I walked in to Dept 83 as I have dozens of times in the past and took a seat.  Sitting with me was a Retired Deputy Chief/Commanding Officer of the L.A.P.D.  He and his daughter […]

Time has really come to go the next step, let’s all support the effort to get Commissioner Scott M. Gordon to be appointed JUDGE!  Now I know that governor has been real busy with trying to keep the state afloat, now that was an achievement.  All I am asking, as well as many many supporters […]

Reportedly the former Mrs. Hulk is having a few concerns.  Duh, you think?  Yes Linda, chances are greater than 85 % that your hubby,  the former love of your life, is pumping the gardener.  No not like that…what I mean is that these mowers and hedge trimmers are all potential spies, especially if the dinero […]

Many of you have been asking for more thoughts on eating out.  First, nothing beats a home-cooked meal, nothing!  My pal Mark’s mom makes everything from scratch and Octavio’s  mom, oh, Mexican food to die for, and that would be just about as good as it gets (except for when I cook), those are some […]

Debbie Matenopoulos does not want to lose her home, and why should she?   Years ago I wrote  “never surrender the fort.”  This is her home, come on!  And in time it could very well be worth more than it is now.  That too is a problem, for those who bought homes in the last couple […]

When the Honeymoon is over, girlfriend it is over!  Dwayne Wade of the Miami Heat is suing his wife and her two lawyers…for what you ask? An issue that crosses my desk all the time.  It was reported that Siohvaughn (must be Black Irish!) Wade had contracted a sexually transmitted disease through the course of […]

Hey now, this is a Valentine’s story for you, in place of going out and blowing a wad on roses or candy (Sees is my favorite and I also do love roses).  Really, who can afford all this stuff in these tough financial times…roses, candy, dinner and “toys”?  Madonna, that is who!   Have you all […]

What was that sweet sound of music coming from Hancock Park?  Oh! no!  Tell me that Chris Brown did not try and eat Rihanna. These two did not make it to perform on the Grammys this evening, reportedly due to a fight. Chris Brown was arrested by the L.A.P.D. and charged with “criminal threats” — […]

No, of course not…it’s white wine with a head on it

Alright, I have said it before and I will say it again, he is a “Rock Star,”  and along with that comes baggage.  I would have to wonder the wisdom in Mr. Nikki Sixx’s behavior that was video taped in San Diego on February 2, 2009.
Now the Nikkster is drinking a bottle of water, and […]

Rafael A. Ongkeko,  Los Angeles Superior Court Judge,  Department 43, Stanley Mosk.   Judge Ongkeko was appointed to the bench by Governor Davis October 17, 2002.  Judge Ongkeko graduated from U.C. Santa Barbara with a Bachelor Degree and a law degree from Boalt Hall. The judge spent 23 years in public and private practice, 19 of […]

Well, it all comes down to “Final Arguments,” and not unlike feeling punchy after the 10th round here you go into the 11th and the 12th and you are done.  This is how it goes in divorce court, you have a client who has been screwed by the former love of her life.  You are […]

Several months ago I made some comments on a lawyer who I thought was brilliant.  Well the other half of that team is Patrick DeCarolis of Trope & DeCarolis LLP.  The name “Trope” is very much associated with DIVORCE, and “DeCarolis” is also a name very much associated with DIVORCE, thus you have Trope & […]
