When I think of Cyber Monday, I think of scoring great deals and free shipping on clothes, shoes, electronics and maybe household
items. But one California attorney jumped on the Cyber Monday bandwagon to offer discounted criminal defense for drunk driving.
The first three people who contacted LA attorney Matthew Spiegel Monday would be eligible for the rate. Those with felony
charges need not call: Spiegel only offered the promotion to misdemeanor DUIs.
In a release, the attorney said he normally charges $5,000 to $10,000 to represent a drunk driver, depending on the circumstances.
He figured he’d help out the (first three) people of Southern California who may be down on their luck and unable to
afford an attorney. He pointed out that the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is one of the biggest drinking days of the year
for Americans.
Spiegel claims he’s the first to offer this kind of promotion on Cyber Monday.
What do you think about Spiegel’s offer? Is this a good idea for drumming up business? Would you slash your rates more
than 90 percent for Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

The court of appeals not only tries to rewrite or interpret the law to suit their fancy, now they choose play stupid as well. Every consideration must be given to pro se litigants, who are not held to the same standards as attorneys, as stated by,SCOTUS. I assume they didn't have a lawyer, since one wasn't mentioned and I strongly suggest thatb the rest of the, origional petitioners get back in there and fight for their rights.

the irony of situations like this is that the clients whom conour cheated are the ones who should be pulling hardest for him to remain free and keep his law license, so they have some hopes of him paying back. really bury the guy deep and then there will be little hope of restitution

Qualified immunity, means that if you wear a badge, you are exempt from law and free to do anything you please! The courts will back badge toting individuals, because they think they are above the law as well. They think, they have judicial immunity, they do not.

Deeply, deeply concerned? I'll bet if it was the judge's money that had been swindled we'd see deep concern with actual consequences. First a Ponzi scheme, then a shell game with the assets…c'mon, hasn't Conour abused the judicial system and his clients long enough? I say enough already.

Wow, just wow.
