“It’s not that I hoped my client would get screwed…it’s just that he was screwing himself, AND I TOLD HIM HE WAS SCREWING HIMSELF, and he refused to listen. I represented the husband in a nasty divorce case. Custody fights. Protective orders. Subpoenas for text messages. Allegations of infidelity on both sides. Lots of assets in play. The guy had a stereo installation business. Mostly in-home theater stuff. Good margins, good money.”

“Legally, it was going okay…until my client started giving his wife temporary maintenance payments USING COMPANY CHECKS. I said, ‘Hey, bud, that is unwise.’ See, if you treat your business like a personal asset, the court will conclude it should be treated like a personal asset, viz, shared 50-50. My client disagreed with this. He felt it was important to show the court how good his business was doing.

“As it turns out, the judge DID think it was important, and the wife essentially got a 50% share of the business’s profits. Book-learnin’ folks call this ‘hubris.'”
