Comments on: Tom Goldstein response to roof-jumper’s demand letter https://www.overlawyered.com/2014/05/tom-goldstein-response-roof-jumpers-demand-letter/ Chronicling the high cost of our legal system Thu, 22 May 2014 15:22:14 +0000 hourly 1 By: Ron Miller https://www.overlawyered.com/2014/05/tom-goldstein-response-roof-jumpers-demand-letter/comment-page-1/#comment-286411 Thu, 22 May 2014 15:22:14 +0000 http://overlawyered.com/?p=45915#comment-286411 The writer is clearly a talented writer and a smart guy. His blog is unbelievably awesome and this is undeniably funny.

That said, I’m so opposed to this kind of grandstanding. Being condescending feels great. But I don’t think anyone on the other side thinks, “He really beat me down and made me and my client feel dumb. I won’t bring a claim now.”

There is also a mocking of the woman for being a porn star who is still able to engage in her chosen profession. That would not mean she is not injured. But it is hard to take the “Ha, she is a porn star” approach when you are representing someone I assume is in the same industry.

Finally, how did this letter leak out? What exactly is the purpose of forwarding this letter along? Who wins?

You purposely toss someone off a roof, and there’s no arrest? Instead the credits come up “THE END” of the story?
