I’ve always said that most are too poor for justice. Only the rich and well connected get favorable judgements. I really did think “experts” were out with the reversal of the Chevron doctrine but the courts do as they please.
Has anyone read Justice Barrett’s stunning rebuke of Judges? It is required by the Judiciary Act of 1789 to follow the law. It’s in her opinion, Trump vs CASA, Inc. which came out today. Supreme Court now reaffirms that Judges(all Judges) must follow the law and specifically the US Constitution. Amazing she had to even say that in her opinion but this should be interesting. Activist Judges have no place in the Judiciary.
Absolutely agree—Barrett’s opinion in Trump v. CASA, Inc. is both stunning and necessary. The fact that a Supreme Court Justice had to remind lower courts that they are bound by the Constitution and the Judiciary Act of 1789 speaks volumes about how far things have drifted. We've seen for years now how “justice” is often for sale, especially in family and civil courts. The Chevron reversal was a good start, but without accountability for judges who disregard the law, the two-tiered system will continue. Let’s hope this opinion is used as a precedent to rein in judicial activism and restore equal justice under law—for everyone, not just the well-connected.
"ABA Model Rule 1.5(a) and (b) relate to the fees that lawyers can charge clients. Here's a brief overview:
Rule 1.5(a): A lawyer's fee shall be reasonable. The factors to be considered in determining the reasonableness of a fee include:
1. The time and labor required, the novelty and difficulty of the questions involved, and the skill requisite to perform the legal service properly.
2. The likelihood, if apparent to the client, that the acceptance of the particular employment will preclude other employment by the lawyer.
3. The fee customarily charged in the locality for similar legal services.
4. The amount involved and the results obtained.
5. The time limitations imposed by the client or by the circumstances.
6. The nature and length of the professional relationship with the client.
7. The experience, reputation, and ability of the lawyer or lawyers performing the services.
8. Whether the fee is fixed or contingent.
Rule 1.5(b): When the lawyer has not regularly represented the client, the basis or rate of the fee and expenses for which the client will be responsible shall be communicated to the client, preferably in writing, before or within a reasonable time after commencing the representation.
These rules aim to ensure that lawyers charge fair and reasonable fees, and that clients are informed about the basis and rate of those fees."
Yeah, but what's reasonable????? $100/hr., $250/hr., $350/hr., $500/hr. Did you know that top corporate lawyers in NYC and DC make over $5,000/hr.??? A couple of high profile NYC family law attorneys make upwards of $800/hr. Who is worth this kind of money? Nobody!!!! It's a shakedown racketeering scam of monumental proportions. Any lawyer that can't get a divorce done for less than $10,000 ($25,000 max in complicated financial cases) should be charged with ethics violations and disbarred for criminal theft by deception, fraud, fiduciary fraud, and general incompetence.
Thank you for bringing awareness to this. I’m sorry you both are having these experiences. I can relate and would love it if you could look at my case. I have everything in one streamlined document. If you’re interested, please let me know how to send it. 🙏❤️
These commentaries are what's needed to wake up the masses. There needs to be an ongoing dialogue to keep the family court racketeering enterprise/association-in-fact in the forefront of social and political discussion. Now that the income taxes, and other taxes are being addressed and the Iranians have a number of giant holes in the ground, it's time to blast away with "bunker busters" to destroy the family court bunker, and bring attention to the American people about what's going down in these faux courts.

"Every "family court " case makes perfect sense once you look at all of the $$$ moving around. "
