Also they should stop complaining about the GoFundMe since a corporation is funding Ron and Monica while TimesUp is funding Jamie Marchi.

GoFundMe vs a corporation. Which sounds more one sided?

We do not know they are actually doing this, since we have not seen any bank-records or anyone admitted to such. Unless I missed something.
It is but a mere theory. Although I would be surprised if it wasn't the case in all honesty. Cause no normal person, or persons would be able to afford Lemwah's spergery.

It's pretty poor form for a lawyer to accept a case that he doesn't have time for. It's actually the very first rule in Texas Rules. See Tex. Disc. R. 1.01(b), (c) (It's unethical to be inattentive to a client's case). To be clear, Ty's workload issues haven't risen to the level of a ethical violation; just saying that it's not a good look for Vic to hire Ty, pay him, and then have Ty say "acktually, I don't have time for this shit."

On the plus side, Martinez & Hsu appear to be equipped for the job. Losing Ty off the case is what they call "addition through subtraction."

When has Ty said he isn't in the case because he's too busy? At least one critical hearing involving Ty went very badly, it's possible Judge Chupp specifically has it in for him for some reason, and they decided two other lawyers may get better results and, at least so far, appear actually to be doing that. Even if Chupp doesn't specifically dislike him, there seems to be some weird local thing going on.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with changing tactics if what you were doing wasn't working, and it wasn't.

If anything, this is Ty not letting his ego wreck the case.

Those NERDS, those fucking INCELS, weren't supposed to be allowed to fight back. They're absolutely enraged by it.

Ty wasn't the only lawyer on it to begin with, so I'm not sure what your trying to point out here. That's it's somehow a bad thing that other other lawyers are on it?

It's bad to take a client's money and then say "acktually, I've got a 9-figure property dispute that deserves my attention more. Adios, amigos!"

In case I'm being too subtle, it looks much more like Ty got benched, and I think whoever did the benching made a good decision. The new team looks more competent than the old team.

I don't think that was his point overall. Just that it seems a bit irresponsible of Ty to continue heading the case if he's personally busy with a much larger suit, which turned into Martinez and Hsu taking over for now. I'm not trying to speak for him, but that's the impression that I got.

Edit:

So yeah, what I said, but more blunt.

Nick said that Ty is too busy to work on this case on his stream several times.

I never heard that. I've heard that Ty is busy. I've seen that two new lawyers, one of whom was brought on board before the disastrous TCPA hearing and the other from the same firm, both named partners in that small firm, handled the recent paperwork and hearing. I've also noticed that Ty is one of the targets of the current subpoenas the parties are fighting about.

Just that by itself is a stronger reason for having lawyers that aren't Ty handle this part of the case.

The only time I've heard Nick say anything about Ty being busy was in the context of people thinking he'd been fired from the case or something, and Nick denying that and frankly trying to spin it a little. Maybe he just doesn't want to say it's better another lawyer handles what's currently going on, but I have no particular reason not to say it.

This isn't a "Ty is a bumbling idiot" comment, but a "Ty is currently a part of the case" and "the next step involves argument about what Ty did at the hearing." Lawyers should in general not act on their own behalf. It's a scummy maneuver by Lemoine to try to disable Ty while costing the plaintiffs more money (while simultaneously padding his bills to make money while wasting the time of everyone else), but like it or not, Ty's conduct of the hearing is now both arguably relevant to the outcome of the appeal and to the next small stretch of the case in front of Chupp.

It also helps that Martinez, at least, has experience with the appeals process, which is crucial at this point.

Who knows, if this passes appeal it might be Ty back in the saddle again.

I don't know why people are ragereacting to this post, because he's right: just because FUNimation may be paying the bills it's not an ethical issue until such time as the various defendants' interests diverge. For example, if they decide if and when the TCPA judgment is overturned that they want to keep MoRon in the lawsuit while beginning talks ot get out of it, then you have an ethical issue there, and Lemoine/Erick would be in a quandry. His right decision would be ( and as much as I don't like either lawyer, I think they'd both choose this option) to tell FUNimation to fuck off and do what's best for his client.

EDIT: I'm merely pointing out that another defendant paying the bills is not in itself an ethical violation; this is not touching on Ron in his deposition saying that they (meaning he and Monica) were paying them. That's a whole other can of worms.

They’re using the GFM and Nick as leverage in every filing as a means to get more than just “reasonable” fees. They want sanctions and extra money that equates to or is above the GFM to stop Vic from “more similar lawsuits”

if their entire argument is his funding source then their funding source is exactly what the plaintiff can use to dispel that argument because clearly if they’re all paying each other then anything more than the reasonable fees is hogwash because they colluded to pad their bills on their own accord and that goes beyond the reasonable fees a TCPA would offer as their compensation. It’s enough to argue they deserve almost nothing.

If you want powers of discovery that Vic’s affiants aren’t legitimate for billing purposes, then there’s discourse to say the plaintiff gets discovery on the defendants billing for arguments against sanctions and reasonable fees. Unless you want to burden the plaintiff TCPA wise.

Nick blue balled for a reason, it could not happen but the way Lemoine acts it probably might.

Your filings read like a prequel for a spree killer's manifesto.

Same energy tbh. They even look alike.

They're both:

exceptional
antisocial
involuntary celibates

Important question: Is Alek Sean's long lost son?

More important question: When's Lemoine going to drive a van through the courthouse?

Vic is supposedly still okay with Ty. Ty stepped back because he lacks the time for Lemoine's nonsense.

Hsu will do fine. Then again I'm believing that the appeals court will be the "reasonable authority figure" in the "Lord of the Flies" style mess we have going on. Best lawyer can't do anything if the judge has his head up his own ass.

If vic weren't ok with Ty, I doubt he would have been hanging out with nick in Hawaii.

Citation needed for Ty saying he's "too busy".

The only context I've ever heard Ty talk about being busy was when they were baffled at how much time the special ed lawtwits spend on social media. That's never been a topic or excuse of Ty's to say he's "too busy" for this case.

It's just an assumption. There's been plenty of times he's said on streams that he has to do shit early in the morning on other cases or he's spent all day on a different case.

So you have nothing and yet you threw around accusations of violating the code of civil procedure. *sigh* speds. Speds never change.

Oh yeah, and Ty ate a jellybean with my name on it.

I get that there are a lot of Ty dicksuckers here but come on. Wheezy alone is proof that civil procedure doesn't mean shit.
