I get what you are saying, but I think the point here that's being made is that Nick cared less about whether Vic prevailed, and more about the $$$.I still don't think there was anything wrong with handing the case to Ty. Referring cases to your friends is the done thing in the legal profession and by all appearances Ty should have been able to handle that case. He was both an experienced litigator and a local guy with local experience. His total failure to adjust under fire was flabbergasting at the time and indicates that his true experience probably lies in negotiation/client relations rather than courtroom stuff. Which then begs the question why he didn't ride his associates like normal?
One of the things that clinches it for me is he wanted Vic to come on his show to discuss the case. As a lawyer yourself, surely you would agree that is a monumentally fucktarded idea. There is a good reason why "due to active litigation, we/I can not discuss this matter" is boilerplate language in these situations.
Also, for a long time now I have believed that the referral to Ty was colored, at least in part, by a desire to have Ty as a frequent guest on his show (which is exactly what happened). If Vic hired some other attorney Nick wasn't chummy with, that would probably not have happened.
Yes, lawyers refer to friends, but not all or most of them have monetized YouTube channels with their colleagues as guests.
That likely would have happened, but for the familial connection. Nick was very passive-agressive towards Ty whenever he would criticize him, and not the full-on raging asshole aggressive he normally is.Nick handled it poorly and his seethe sessions at Vic were unhinged, but from a legal perspective this is entirely Ty's L to hold and frankly if Nick wanted to have a public fight with anyone it should have been Ty for making him look like an asshole.
