I wonder though, would some lawyers offer to help defend the drycleaner for free to try to grab publicity? Ive read somewhere that they may have to spend tens of thousands for lawyers.

sometimes that happens, in fact some law firms will do such a thing, it's called pro bono i think
 
First, Pearson demanded $1,150 for a new suit. Lawyers were hired, legal wrangling ensured, and eventually the Chungs offered Pearson $3000 in compensation.

No dice.

Then they offered him $4,600.

No dice.

Finally, they offered $12,000 for the missing gray trousers with the red and blue stripes.

Pearson said no.

Must be some nice pants
 
I hope this idiot lose, have to pay court cost and legal fees for the family, and last but not least, wear a big sign around his neck at the busiest intersection for the next 10 years......

I AM TOO STUPID AND GREEDY TO BE HUMAN
 
As an attorney I find this lawsuit absolutely deplorable. There should be either a public reprimand or temporary removal from the bench/bar. As mentioned he should also face Rule 11 sanctions for filing a frivolous lawsuit.
 
mental suffering over some trousers


HAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH..... *GASP* HAHAHHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

what a friken pansy! LOL

and hang on

According to court papers, here's how Pearson calculates the damages and legal fees: He believes he is entitled to $1,500 for each violation, each day during which the "Satisfaction Guaranteed'' sign, and another sign promising "Same Day Service'' was up in the store -- more than 1200 days. And he's multiplying each violation by three because he's suing Jin and Soo Chung and their son. He also wants $500,000 in 'emotional damages' and another $542, 500 in legal fees, even though he is representing himself in court. He wants $15,000 for ten years worth of weekend car rentals as well.

who the ****** made up that little rule? so if i wanna sue MS for causing me pain and suffering for using Vista (which amounts to the same thing here) i can say i want $1,500 for every day i've used it, and then im gonna times that by the number of MS employees because im suing the "MS family of workers"

dude should be gagged on his missing pants.

Another shining example of why blacks have a few hurdles to cross. 🙁

How blacks run DC is no different than how other ethnic groups have run cities once they got enough of their folks elected. I'm not saying its right, just that it has a long history in this country. Look at Boston and the Irish, New York with the Irish followed by the Italians as just a couple of examples.

On a lighter note one of Washingtons finest politicians known world wide by the phrase "Ain't that a b!tch, god d@mn b!tch set me up!" Marion Barry wants to institute new taxes on commuters coming into DC via tolls. You would think there would be an unspoken rule that if you are going to propose new taxes you ought to at least be among the majority of folks that pay their current existing taxes.

Personally I wish they would splash it across the front page of the major dailies. It is this kind of crap that actual has a real and meaningful effect on both businesses and costs that get passed on to consumers.

It doesn't matter. Calculate up the costs involved even if he doesn't win.

Oh, the judge is a piece of ****** for sure. Putting this story on the front page of every paper won't help with that though. He is the type of person that loves the attention. It would just fuel him.

I don't expect it to change him. What I expect is for it to motivate people to enough anger to overcome the trial lawyer lobby and actually change the laws that make it so easy to file frivolous nonsense like this in the first place.
 
Just the classic case of why the Justice system in this country is complete crap. Cases like this just bog down everything and shoudl be thrown out as soon as they are filed.
