Just by luck I may have found some new talent. I was present when Sarah K. Thomas, lawyer, was in the throws of battle with what I guess one would call an “Oaf,” and he was big, so I guess “Big Oaf” would be appropriate here! Sarah is a graduate of The University […]

Just about the time I’ve got a feel for the Marriage Dissolution business, here comes Jay Curtis Cox, lawyer. I noticed him earlier as he had an off-beige suit, western-style boots and a tie that he must have found on a dozing homeless person. My other thought was he is from Orange County…he was! This […]

Once in a very great while I get to see “Legal Fireworks”…no not the Fourth of July kind, but the courtroom kind!
I wandered into Judge Elizabeth R. Feffer’s courtroom (she is the one that is sooooo easy on the eyes, and I bet her mother is a very pretty woman!)…well, I am sitting there, waiting […]

What comes to mind for me when I think of Lisa Helfend Meyer, Esquire, is a very large and hungry shark! When you meet Lisa at her totally tricked out office suite in Century City, you won’t find a “large hungry shark,” you will find one of this city’s best family law attorneys that […]
