On balance, it's really all he's ever been good at.
Victor Mignogna v. Funimation Productions, LLC, et al. (2019) - Vic's lawsuit against Funimation, VAs, and others, for over a million dollars.

While hiring somebody who has never sued for defamation wasn't the smartest choice, you would hope that any lawyer, no matter their field of expertise, would file their shit on time and not embarrass themselves in such a public disaster. And true, Nick didn't do any work on the case and didn't force Ty on Vic, he did recommend a Ty to Vic (knowing Ty had no experience) and worked hard to build up the "Ty 'Fear the' Beard" persona, linking the two in the minds of onlookers.

I like it. It has some reality. But it's too legal. People find that boring. Put a really ridiculous sex toy into it. I hear there's this thing called a Balldo.
I don't know where the idea came from that you can usually just open a phone book and hire a libel lawyer. The shit doesn't exist. You have a few law firms in the world, like Carter-Ruck in the UK or Bert Fields the Hollywood lawyer who sues you for calling Tom Cruise gay, and that's about it.
Nothing about how Ty Beard fucked up had anything to do with competence or lack thereof at libel specifically. All the pleadings he filed were at least competent. It was a set of affidavits inexplicably notarized incorrectly that two courts used as a reason to nuke the case from orbit and why Vic got shafted for six figures under a statute allegedly created to keep down costs in such cases.
I think it's possible, maybe even probable, that Beard reached some kind of settlement out of court with Vic, but if he's a man, and I think he is, he'll never say a word about it.
And just to put it on the record, I'd definitely never hire him for a defamation case, but if in some weird alternate universe I was doing a multimillion dollar corporate merger, he'd be my guy.

He was admitted to the Minnesota bar on 05/08/15, and his first ever video (concerning Maddox) is dated 11/16/17.
So yeah, about two and a half years.
Now he doesn't practice at all. A fact he gets very mad about if you bring it up.
Not true. Not anymore. Nick has fallen off dramatically this past year. He's barely making a couple of hundred dollars per show now. He's even had to resort to selling his sobriety on stream, Ethan Ralph style. What he made during the Vic saga seems to be rapidly depeating.
So, there's that, if you believe in karma.
A LOT has changed since you've last posted here, including Nick being re-designated a full blown cow in late 2022. He even won Lolcow of the Year for 2023.
The niggers running a train on his wife part might be true though. LOL.
EDIT: Date and typo.

You're right. I'll molest them until they commit suicide instead. They can't sue you if you molest them so hard they kill themselves. In fact, I think should the standard going forward. If someone falsely accuses you of rape, you should treat it like a free pass to actually rape them. If retarded nigger judges like Chupp won't bother to let you defend yourself and they'll just fuck you over anyway, then you might as well be guilty of the crime they accused you of. Worst case scenario, they send you away anyway. Best case scenario, she enjoys it and starts dating you. Half of these accusations are for attention anyway. Let's see how many false rape accusations happen then.

Agreed, Monica and Ron should get a free pass to defame Vic Mignoga, since he falsely accused them of defamation.

I wonder what particular quirk in his mind makes him so mad about that. Something like half of all people with law degrees do not practice. It's just a thing. Why's he so mad about it? He literally could spend a couple hours a month on pro bono shit and call himself a practicing lawyer. But he doesn't. And then gets mad.
What a dumb faggot.

Really? You'd be okay with Ty Beard missing filing deadlines on a multimillion dollar corporate merger too?

Complete aside, what's it like knowing you kept up this up for nearly 6 fucking years? That's truly an accomplishment. What's next for Dyn, the Legendary Woman Respecter?

I mean, the real reason is Eric July called him out for as non-practicing after Nick tried to big dog him for Dick Masterson's benefit. This despite July being represented by actual practicing lawyers who seemed to know what they were doing.
That case ended in a settlement that is believed to be favorable to July, and in which no money seemed to change hands.

I honestly think he was naive to the point he was unable to confront people who were ontologically evil.

I think it's because that area of law is boring AF to most people, so consequently you're not gonna be on some shock jock's livestream talking massive amount of shit late at night over a corporate merger. There's probably not a big audience for it. Ty can stay out of trouble on those.
I think a big part of the problem here is that Nick and Ty decided to put on a show, and they did so in a way that cut into time that should have been spent on the case. Nick benefitted handsomely. Vic suffered immensely.

Don't know if I buy that. He saw what they did to Vic, and he even had the displeasure of deposing Monica and that rat fuck Toye prior to the TCPA being filed. He knew what scum they were.

I never followed this closely, just some of the characters on Vic's side. It seems the gist is Vic got accused, removed from projects without being found guilty, sued the accusers for defamation using Nick's recommended lawyer Ty who isn't experienced in defamation, lost largely due to Ty's incompetence, appealed, and lost even bigger? If Nick and Ty want any goodwill from this they better just drop the case and help Vic pay, fundraising or otherwise. Even if they want to claim Vic pushed for the appeal they should at least be on the hook for the initial loss that seemed to stem from Ty not doing things properly. Wouldn't be surprised to find out Ty pushed for the appeal thinking it'd turn around if he took it seriously and it'd own the libs epic style, but he likely burned all his goodwill with the judge.
Ty always reminded me of Oxhorn in appearance, mannerisms, and probably Fallout mod's they have installed. I met dudes like them IRL and the pretentiousness reeks off them from a distance, then they start talking and the shoe fits. The last thing I'd want in court is a pretentious lawyer.

I feel bad for Vic, but I hope this is a lesson well learned. Don’t listen to the suggestions of non-practicing Lawtubers who drink excessively. It’s worth the cost of paying for good lawyers who know what they’re doing and who have experience in the field you’re suing for. I’d rather pay a hundred thousand dollars to defend myself than have to pay a bunch of scumfuck liars 400 thousand.

I think Monica and her gimp going around trying to prevent Vic from getting employment was wrong and Ty Beard being unable to nail them on this was incredibly incompetent and unfair to Vic. However I do think Vic was a bit of a creep for constantly trying to bang barely legal girls who came to conventions so I don't feel too bad for him.
