My Biggest Pain

I go to court today over an ongoing issue that has been a pain in the butt for over 2 years. I expect that it will be continued AGAIN. It is one of those cases that does nothing productive except drain the wallet. However, I am used to the courtroom scene and find it interesting, challenging and as a last resort to solve problems, it does all of that. But in this particular case, I am on opposite sides with this ghoul of an attorney that . . .if s/he were to be compared to an animal, might qualify as a pitbull. Something terribly wrong with this attorney in terms of the way s/he processes information, the way s/he communicates with others, and the mindless and relentless pursuit of the win regardless of how it may damage h/his own client. The client right now is on the verge of being a baglady because of all this, and yet, all efforts to resolve it have been rejected. It is amazing! I would normally blame the client who should be in the driver's seat here, but this client is elderly and mentally ill. This client hasn't attended one hearing, hasn't been served with any of the moving papers, and isn't even in the areas so she can't possibly know what direction this is going. This is an attorney who has stated that the client is irrelevant to the proceedings. I am sure he changes that tune when it comes time for his bill to be paid. . .then the client is very relevant. I have been in and out of the courtroom trying to get this matter "put to bed." and it has become such a can of worms that the Judges practically knock each other down trying to run from it. One Judge in particular works harder at trying to avoid making a ruling than if he just gave his judicial opinion. Well, nevertheless, we go back again today, and I don't expect that it will be resolved. . . .but you can be sure I will have additional comments at the conclusion, before the conclusion, etc. This is a classic case where nobody wins except the attorneys. . . .however, it is a work related matter so I have no options but to hang in there!
