by Traverse Legal, reviewed by Enrico Schaefer - February 7, 2007 - I Quit!
On the eve of coming out into the light of day, my stream has taken a turn. With full knowledge of this very blog and the fact that I am revealing my identify in 4 days, my old firm has jumped head first into the stream. My first thought is – well – what in the world are they thinking?
At 4:00, my old firm sent a young daughter of one of the legal secretaries to my office. I invited her in my office, of course. She came in and served me with yet another lawsuit filed by Big Boss. The first lawsuit had been settled [more here] two months ago. I figured they would finally get on with their lives (who would think one departing attorney could draw such attention?). It has been two years since deciding to quit. But here they are again … sending little girls to serve complaints (like I wouldn’t accept service!), giggling back in Big Bosses office while sipping scotch.
The truly funny part is that the Greatest Aemrican Lawyer web site is the key basis of their complaint. This blog is a virtual ‘play by play’ of my departure from the firm. This latest lawsuit by Big Boss presents the perfect opportunity to reflect on the day I was set free from my old firm. What a perfect theme two years post "I Quit!" – on the eve of the unmasking of the author of the Greatest American Lawyer Blog.
Thanks Tim (one of my old partners, Big Bosses’ son and heir apparent to Big Bosses’ origination formula)! I could not have written a more perfect script if I had tried …. I am ready for round two. I regretted settling the last case before the court ordered partner formula was provided in discovery (Ken and I always suspected there really was no formula). And now, about those counterclaims …
