Every story or complaint usually has two sides, right? and when only one side is listened to things can go horribly wrong.  This is the case of a former client of mine, let’s for this story call him  “Mr. Unfortunate,” this is a good name for him as it speaks the truth.  As it was […]

Robyn Gibson is “moving on” it has been reported…no shit!  She should have moved on a long time ago.  Mel is doing what rich guys do, and that is having a ball and all that comes with being a star, even an aging one…as he has famously stated many times, he is rich. And that […]

  Had enough of the Century City/Beverly Hills rat race?   I have found “Valhalla” for lawyers: Santa Barbara, California.  Not a question in my mind, after spending a week it would appear there is little wrong with this town and surrounding area (including Montecito), right on the water.  It is just plain nice.
It is sophisticated […]

While away on a long term assignment, I was contacted by the lawyer for Sherri Shepherd, one of the talking heads on “The View.”  Fred Silberberg was kind enough to contact DesperateExes.com with an update and asked if I would, in the spirit of fairness, publish it.  Of course! You see when lawyers contact us […]

What a day it was at the Stanley Mosk the other day.  My good friend Peter Lauzon from the offices of Phillips, Lerner, Lauzon and Amazing Grace was in court with one of his many celebrity clients and was ready for battle.
A few feet down the hall was Cary Goldstein in all of his […]

Anytime someone reads one of my “editorial” pieces and feels that I am off from the center please contact us.  If you think that I have been unfair or that I am wrong, I will review what I have written and perhaps make a change.   My “editorials” are my thoughts and it is true that […]

The earth shook in Los Angeles last night while I was seated at my favorite table at Club Cicada in downtown. Then I was tossed out of bed this morning and I could not understand why….was I dreaming? There were legal papers by the thousands flying out of windows of a high rise in Century […]

Lawrence Leone, lawyer has opened his own practice after many many years as a partner of Trope & Trope.  Mr. Leone has been a player in the world of divorce for what must seem forever, 31 years and counting.  Lawrence has the ability to make opposing counsel  wish that they had either never gotten out […]

Well if Mel Gibson thought that he and his soon to be Ex were going to have an “easy” divorce, heads up.  With all of these Russian beauties showing up and, as I predicted, getting into the whole media craze…guess what, Robyn is reading this stuff too.
Mel has done more for the name “Oksana” than […]

Mr. Gibson, I have it from very reliable sources that vodka and Russian women are tough.  Both on the body and the marriage…guess you already know one of those already.
Mel and that Catholic Church in Malibu…how often have I said that “religious people” are a little, let’s say kinky…not as much as non-religious people.  Must […]

Well, I was wrong again, I was contacted by a former client last night and she was asking what I thought the chances would be of the court making her EX pay more than $200,000 in legal fees.  After a little thought, very little, I thought maybe $50,000, and the rest the lawyers would have […]

This afternoon I had lunch with some friends and as always the conversation leans towards divorce and my thoughts on the subject…my thoughts on relationships are a little edgy, ya think?  Even when a marriage or relationship works there is some fantasy present.  That being that both parties are happy and all is just “ducky,” […]

Not often do I get to see “Titans of Divorce” going at it, but today I was fortunate to have been given a tip that Sherri Shepherd and her former husband, Jeff Tarpley would be putting the final icing on the “I am so through with you” cake.  Jeff is represented by Peter A. Lauzon […]

The Petersen Automotive Museum on Wilshire Boulevard was the place to be the other evening! My good friends Harland and Adam Braun invited me to attend the 56th Annual Criminal Courts Bar Association’s installation dinner.  There are two places I love when it comes to museums, one is this one and the other The Getty, […]

After last week’s deputy disaster, as luck would have it I had another run-in with a Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff, but this one renewed my faith in the department.  I was called out to respond to a former husband who had moved out of the family home and had gone begging to get some […]
