Immovable Cases

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?
