I ran into a lawyer yesterday who filed for discovery on July 3." Wow...I had to read that a few times. What is god's good name is going on down there? Is anyone in charge of that office or is Mason spending all of his time talking about windmills? “it’s refusing to do so when the prosecutor hasn’t provided discovery.

I know you by sight and by rep, and while there are a few DDR lawyers who've got three rows of teeth, you're not one of them. The problem I had was, first, with the court; the Cuyahoga County DR division is probably the worst in the state, which will be confirmed in an upcoming Supreme Court report. Sorry, I don't care for judges who let a divorce case linger on for six years. Second, there are certain things I can do, and certain things I can't. One of the things I can't do is put up with people who use their kids to get even with their ex-spouse. I doubt very much if you enjoy that, either, but divorce work is intellectually challenging, and if you enjoy it and can make a good living doing it, God bless. Please don't take my comments as in any way patronizing. RB Didn’t mean to get on your case, Pete.

After 27 years, I know the players. I know the law. I know the plot lines. I know the court staff. I know what is fair. My clients listen to me or they go elsewhere. Nothing different than what you do in your criminal practice. Non-DDR lawyers should refrain from walking in to the Old Court House. The fees are fair and reasonable as well. So, there you have it. An attorney that enjoys the DDR work. Of course, I hardly ever refuse a criminal/traffic case. That is the key - a smart lawyer maintains a practice outside of DDR work. Best wishes, PAS.

Is this the Bensing Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine? (Thanks, I'll be here all week. Be sure to tip your server!) “I’d rather eat broken glass than go back to handling divorce cases.”

What are the odds that Regina Brett doesn't do a follow up story given that her most recent column on the topic completely bought into Mason's spin?
