Pretty rank to read how one partner mentions to another that because Steve Morton (plaintiff in the underlying suit) is president of the Bob Hope Desert Classic that “I want to do this” (whatever hoity toity connection that refers to.) It sort of puts all that pro bono posturing by big firms into perspective, huh? Not because the client insisted, despite a shaky legal theory. Not because GDC was hard up for the business. But because a retired partner has a rich golfing buddy. This means a life will be destroyed? And for what? Because the appraiser gave his honest opinion?

I’m getting a waft of attorney arrogance from GDC, how about you?
