Something I believe with all my heart is that the older I get the faster the weeks and months come and go. Here it is September 1st., 2025 and I am parked in Phoenix, Arizona with two of my staff having just served papers on some poor unsuspected slack jaw fuck of life. My new look and strategy works unbelievably well. I guess he thought I was going to ask for something to eat! Not sure what he thought of the big guy with no neck shadowing me or what his function might be? Did I say I am old and need to be careful not to break a hip! Did I say he was a real jerk? Well, he was and still is. Which is most excellent as it gives me the opportunity to be me! No, I did not call him a little Romanian junkie whore. However, I did questioned what miserable whore allowed my targeted ‘scrot’ to fall from between her legs and worse yet, allowed him to breath! Get me to the first class lounge for Delta Airlines…… Phoenix is almost like visiting S.L.A.
This is the life I chose 35 years ago and if not for the money I am not sure where all of this talent I have shared with all of you through the years would have ended up. Key word is always $$$$, Truth, Lies or Friendship has zero value in the world of DIVORCE, it is the money. Funnier yet is that I have made several lawyers millions and they too have tossed a few bones for us to nibble on. No, not real friends, all transactional, sure we act friendly towards one another. However, just don’t ever try to put your financial interest ahead of theirs…. FACT!
Talking about money, I want to remind all of my readers that my good friends Adam Lipsic, Neal Hersh, Joe Mannis (BTW I do consider these guys friends, they have always been there for us, I have not forgotten) have moved to their new offices after spending years in Beverly Hills. It was a decision based on keeping their practice fresh and being able to practice DIVORCE law in the current environment that exists today. Adam is the future, young and smart. No question they are still at the very top of the DIVORCE world game. The new name will be Summers Levin Lipsic & Hersh. To be honest, whoever heard of Summers or Levin I have never even seen either of them in court…. sounds like a team of Garden Gnomes.
Well I can promise you this, that will all change having Adam Lipsic and Neal Hersh’s names on the letterhead, two highly regarded DIVORCE lawyers. Such a blessing for this new partnership! Again, I wish Adam and Neal nothing but the very best, they both deserve all the good they can gather, they are both great people. Neal Hersh is still the king of any lawyer in Southern California as to being the very best dressed. Sorrel Trope was the only other DIVORCE lawyer that, in my opinion could carry that title of well dressed.
Do any of you remember an old pain in the ass by the name of Tina Schuchman? During my time of having to deal with lunatics and old female DIVORCE lawyers in Southern California, Schuchman flashed across my mind recently along with another little wet fart, Margolin? Am I wrong in my thoughts that some of the biggest lunatics in the DIVORCE scene in So. Cal. are in fact OLD female DIVORCE lawyers, especially the ones who are aging terribly, bow legged and horribly sagging? Just like the OLD male DIVORCE lawyers are still grabbing wildly for any Big Buck clients who are desirous enough of getting hammered! Well, to be honest here, we still love these high $$$$ clients too, it is just we have a tiny hammer compared to most DIVORCE lawyers….. not complaining, just stating the facts.
Loving great melons as I do, I had eaten way too much fresh cantaloupe and as expected it hit me like a bag of rice in Gaza, my digestive system emptied itself of this digested melon like a mudslide in Malibu…… Just as the extraction occurred, I thought if this woman, Schuchman! (As I was wiping my ass, I thought about that wet fart Margolin). My fondest memory of Teeena was every time I had encounters with her she always had some ‘fruit cake’ toting her briefcase and or boxes for her. These cheap suited flunkies would stand a few feet behind her or at her side. ( may have been an attempt to catch her if she over tilted) It was impressive how obedient these guys were to Teeena’s demands! Wish Teeena was around today to help us with our pair of Cane Corso’s. Well, Teeena decided to take a dirt nap and died during 2019. The last time I saw her she was on a disability scooter coming out of Dept 2 with a ‘cake’ shuffling quickly behind. The photo of her attempting to eat string cheese was hilarious…. and she had an interesting way of cleaning her fingers too! * see photos. *** Schuchman had thought it was going to be funny to screw with me once and she missed! And that was when I made her my project for some hilarity, and I did not miss!
Garry Gekht, lawyer was one of Teeena’s proteges. Let me be very clear here, Garry is a very smart guy. The rumor is that he saved Mark Kaplan’s practice from going down faster than the Titanic (Kaplan was Teeena’s partner). Who would ever have thought that Mark Kaplan, Esq. would have ever been Schuchman’s partner!
It is really strange how Gekht has become a bit of a ‘Pied Piper’, for old lawyers to follow and attach their names to his shingle? People like Michael Trope, Esq. ( DIVORCE world royalty ) Patrick DeCarolis, Esq. ( Merlin of the Southern Cal. DIVORCE scene for his ability to take large volumes of wet dog shit and convert it to solid gold ). Mark Kaplan one of the best lawyers in the country in my opinion. ( Ron Rale has very similar style, love them both). Now, Trope and DeCarolis have a great deal of personal wealth and they too, are saddling up to join “The World of Gekht”.
While I was looking at all of this movement amongst some of the most powerful OLD men in the world of DIVORCE, in the Los Angeles area. How was this beginning to look like The Dead Poets Society except there is no Robin Williams and the participants are not young men, but really OLD DIVORCE lawyers glomming onto each other. Is it only to save money on the overhead? Another thought, it almost appears to look like a pack of old feral hogs rummaging around for truffles, being led along carefully by a really smart young ‘educated’ hog! (Gekht is not terribly young, but compared to the crew on his farm he looks like a teenager).
One thing for sure is that Garry Gekht, lawyer will be forever associated with some of the most powerful names in the world of DIVORCE, nothing short of pure genius on his part! To go from an associate of Teeena Schuchman and now sharing a ‘shingle’ with Kaplan, Trope and DeCarolis, all I can say is Bravo, well played!
I don’t see Gekht as much of a truffle hunter frankly, hell why bother when you can set “The Boys” loose and see what their hunting skills will bring home to “Daddy”. Who would have ever suspected this crew of forming up again, again? Note: Kaplan, DeCarolis and Trope had their DIVORCE talent developed and fine tuned at Trope & Trope. The Circle of DIVORCE in Southern California, could make you want to stop eating pork chops, even the Kosher ones!
