It’s Sooper Dooper time again!

Sooper Doopers of PLLJAlready? I rushed to my mailbox for my February issue of LOS ANGELES magazine and got an instant rash, 2011 Southern California Super Lawyers issue! We had our usual laughs and then it got serious, PHILIPS LERNER LAUZON & JAMRA…Jamra, did she not so move on? Well if you look at page S-8 you will see the group photo, was that photoshopped? And the space between Sticey Flips and Grace Jamra is big enough to stick Lynn Soodik in, sure like a plug! This photo of PLLJ had to have been photoshopped, it looked like advertising on a dime, whose idea was it to have little people and big people. There were others that were just as bad, but this one caught my eye as Grace Jamra is now Jamra and Jamra, there is no more J, it is PLL, as Grace is gone!

Do you all remember back a few years ago that one female lawyer had the big picture and I said all she needed was a lean and a parrot and she would have looked more like a pirate. Well some of those bad pictures are back…

Not to only mention Sticey, but who reads this drivel and hires someone based on being a “Super” anything, I think you should have “Super Dooper,” “Super Biller,” “Super Super Dooper”… My thought here folks is that I wish that I had been the slick SOB who came up with this idea, it is now showing up in other papers, everyone is “Super.” Then we have “top 50” and we have the “top 100,” this is great, how about the “bottom 3.” Or the “worst biller” or the “best biller” (we all know who those are!). Or the best dresser or the worst dresser, the best hair….the worst hair. How about for the men, those who never shine their shoes? Sorrell Trope will always be the best dressed and his shoes…like mirrors, and you won’t find him paying to be called a “Super Lawyer”. And here is the bad news, many of you who are grabbing for this silly title really suck at doing what you do and we all know who you are!
