Dennis Elias’s Latest Tweet :. Injustice News Twitter Feed :.I start the new year with my first-ever stalker, Wayne Conley.
Wayne Conley was dishonorably discharged from the U.S. Army after being convicted in a general court-martial of instigating and participating in the gang rape of an unconscious soldier, and obstructing justice regarding that crime. He’s a registered sex offender (deservedly so, unlike many) who [...]
1. If you’re looking for The Promised Land, you’re in the wrong place. This is the Wild West, Pilgrim.
2. There are clients online—sophisticated, moneyed clients—but they don’t find lawyers the way you think they do. That is, they don’t find lawyers the way the marketers want you to think they do. Clients—sophisticated clients, clients with [...]
Houston DWI lawyer Tyler Flood made an irresistible target of himself by running his mouth to the Houston Press, and I was unable to resist. Whoever writes blog posts under his name at his blog managed (inadvertently, I hope) to string Christmas lights around the target by comparing him to Andy Nolen and accusing me [...]
Tyler Flood (one of the smartest lawyers Tyler Flood has ever met!) says of his recent debacle in the Houston Press:
During the course of this process I praised so many of my colleagues and even told Mike who to talk to, including Jed [Silverman], Gary [Trichter], Troy [McKinney], [Mark] Thiessen, Murph [Doug Murphy], Jim Medley [...]
From a Houston Press article about Houston DWI lawyer Tyler Flood:
Flood pays someone to keep up his Google search rankings. . . . He has reviewed himself on Yahoo (five out of five stars): “Tyler Flood is one of the smartest lawyers I have ever met…reasonably priced also!”
(Here’s the profile giving Tyler that review.)
I’ve suggested before that a lawyer can know as much about the narrow subject of an expert witness’s testimony that hurts the defense than does the expert himself. Even when it’s brain surgery, it’s not rocket science. Being a trial lawyer means being able to learn enough about the topic at hand that ignorance is [...]
Maybe it has something to do with the lousy economy. I’m spending a lot of blogging energy whacking the moles of unethical lawyer marketing. If we—the bar, honest members of the practical blawgosphere—let people like Andy Nolen and a Fresno criminal defense alwyer slide with their flaming astroturf and their content scraping, we’ll only see [...]
[Updated to remove Googleable references to the subject, who was duped by her ex-client web designer. She is not without fault, but it's appropriate to dissociate the posts from her name.]
I don’t know why, but I would have expected someone who, like a particular Fresno criminal defense lawyer, reads this blog [update: it appears that [...]
I wrote last November about Lethal Generosity in the Legal Profession, my thesis being “that the most generous members of the criminal defense community are the most credible and influential.”
I was talking then about sharing information and motions amongst criminal defense lawyers.
But it’s become apparent to me that the principle applies in the online marketing [...]
In conclusion from this post, this post, this post, and this post:
Andy Nolen has been disciplined by the State Bar before. He persists in engaging in deceptive advertising. In my opinion, he needs to be removed from what passes in his world for the “practice of law.” Whether they know it or not, his clients [...]
