Kinja'd!!!

$7 million of potential liability settled for $325000. My client thanked me, and told me that I gave them a fighting chance to survive, when they expected this lawsuit to be the straw that broke the camel’s back. His sister cried.

I am now having a beer that I feel that I earned. After a difficult week, this was a welcome success.

For what it’s worth, I will die without ever visiting California, but I like drinking with lawyers and would like to have a beer with you.

My grandpa was a lawyer. Always had lawyer stories of cases he had.

Dude, california is awesome. From your crazy stories I think you would really dig SF and some other bay area towns.

You should go - it’s beautiful, and varies greatly depending on where you go. There’s at least 6 different worlds within CA.

Congratulations! A job well done is always more rewarding when it improves (or removes stress from, at least) someone’s life.

I once spent a blizzard outside of the UN in the bar with a human rights lawyer.

By the end, I offered him a cigarette—he had quit smoking and was in his 60s—he took one and said “well, fuck it, life doesn’t really matter that much, does it?” It was probably the most depressing experience of my life.

I remember reading your first post and thinking about all that cattle. In a former life I used to lend against cattle and I had one deal going South on me and I lived in fear of how the fuck was I going to repo or offload all those cows. Glad you made things right with your client and as a banker I’m glad you didn’t make the lenders job hell. Enjoy the beer! Well deserved.
