Or at least some of them seem that way don’t they? Do you have any like this and how do you handle them? I’m mostly just venting here…
We have a family law case right now that’s running over 9 months with essentially zero progress. And we’re defending someone so in essence the delay is good for our client but it’s still a tad annoying as an attorney. The case has been in a loop of various attorneys withdrawing and then coming in and judges transferring the case back and forth and recusing themselves with the total sum equaling zero progress in 9 months. We are/will getting/get compensated but I still think these cases take a toll on lawyer psychology.
Thankfully I have a decent mix of cases/transactions from residential real estate transactions or a forcible entry and detainer case where there’s 30-45 days from start to finish up to a case that’s just about done after 6 years of litigation. So the above isn’t the norm for me.
I think I’d be miserable if I was one of these PI guys where all the cases take like 5 years…how do stay “up” for that long?
