DIVORCE and GAS LIGHTING, Welcome to Southern California

John J. Nazarian
August 15, 2024

One of the wonderful things about having been in a business for 32 successful years is, I don’t have to hustle or lurk around for assignments. For some darn reason the right people find me and we get the call. Just like when the fleas from vermin disguised as lawyers try to take cheap shots at me! Lawyers are a very vulnerable bunch actually, all of them are fearful of getting reported to the BAR. Christ, I have been reported so many times by the “haters.” I at one time knew everyone at the Bureau by their first name, I just never cared. I always played nice, well nice by John J. Nazarian’s standard, that was all that counted. “Retired ?”

Fortunately, I have many clients that have been working with us for over 30 years. Sure, those very same clients call when a need arises and having worked with Nazarian and Associates for too many years to count; they trust Me/Us. After all, we are the ‘Fire Truck’. Recently, one of the more infamous ‘barf bags’ in the world of DIVORCE, Peter Lauzon had the audacity to tell one of my long term clients that I had retired! Why would I? Still look great in a pair of my gator boots and tailored suits and my cars, I think I still have it? “Retire”?

Lauzon-Paluch is a DIVORCE firm in Century City, California and I am guessing that, if this place was not a DIVORCE hustle it could just as well be very successful installing and designing ‘boiler rooms’! Oh don’t get me wrong, I absolutely adore Nathalie E.A. Paluch, and take the tires off my Phantom —I cannot understand how she ended up with Peter Lauzon? “Beauty and Useless” is what we have here. Oh for sure, Peter is a very imposing old guy, and always had a great voice in court and in conversation. Lauzon’s suits, not so much….. “Retire?” If not for bringing on Nathalie E.A. Paluch, Lawyer that MESS would have folded, in my humble opinion! When you want to wear a suit, Sorrell Trope or Neal Hersh, would be the guys I would talk to. Why buy your suits on sale at the Men’s Wear House, but when you are CHEAP, oh well!

Lauzon was interviewing one of our clients and I am guessing Lauzon could ‘smell money’ and thought he was preparing to hit a jack pot, silly old fool. All this gal really loves doing is calling every DIVORCE firm in the area and getting educated on what she needs to do…. and then went right back to the same place that she started at 25 plus years ago, “ The Old Goat!” LMAO!! Well, that was a big waste of time, Pete and that is not going to get that big Montana home paid for! Why would this ‘Dip Shit’ think I was “Retired.”

Lauzon and I have always been cordial towards each other, Lauzon has never used our services and we would NEVER SUGGEST Lauzon Paluch to any of our clients. This is a DIVORCE firm that in my opinion, if you show up with a hundred dollar bill in your pocket, they are going to get .95 cents! The nickel left will be needed to park your car….. I would be surprised if they validate, CHEAP! Classic high end location that will ‘gas light’ you into thinking like you are definitely in the right place and all will be fine. The clue of course is that damn ‘gas light’ they give you after you write your retainer check!
