Michael Trope has hit the grand slam home run of Family Law. He hit the ball right out of the park with the bases loaded for his client, Lisa Kerkorian. We at DesperateExes.com are betting that this is one of the biggest if not THE biggest child support wins in the history of divorce… …but Lisa K is no fool, she reached out and picked a winner, Michael Trope, of Trope and DeCarolis.

Michael Trope not only negotiated this incredible win, but folks wait till you hear this number, $10,250,000.00 in retroactive child support for Lisa Da K going back to 2002! There is no other lawyer in the United States that could have put a deal like this together, none. …can you say “vindicated?” Whoever found Michael Trope for Ms. Kerkorian should be awarded a trip around the world, all expenses paid!!! Or a Rolex, “The Yacht-Master II” blue bezel and…

…Folks there is always a backside to these stories and this one is no different. It was back in ….2008 when Michael Trope presented his “Motion to set aside” all the nasty stuff that victimized Lisa Kerkorian. As some of you will remember when she had Kolodny and Anteau as her lawyers pretty much all of what she said on the phone was being shared with Kirk Kerkorian’s lawyer Christensen …Anthony Pellicano know who else through wiretaps… …and Terry Christensen lost his ability to practice law…disbarred….

…1. Lisa did not get a fair trial in 2002 because her lawyers were compromised with wire taps…..

2. Michael Trope was asking that everything be set aside as it was an “unfair” trial. And this was the only reasonable thing the court could do…a great position to take.

3. All previous evidence would have to be purged, tossed, thrown out, dumped…why? It was all obtained through illegal conduct…

4. …Kirk Kerkorian crew would not be allowed to present any new evidence and all of the other stuff would be tossed…

…. Now, for the big turn, a change of direction, we got a fresh attitude. I wrote on May 12, 2010 that the Judge orders lotsa bacon for Lisa Da K lawyers.” That day, it is my opinion that Joe Mannis, not being anyone’s fool saw what the exposure could be for his client and began to chart a new course. The actions and comments that day by Judge Steinberg made it clear that it was not going to be business as usual when it came to Lisa Kerkorian and her lawyer, Michael Trope. The other side representing Kirk Kerkorian had committed serious crimes and…

…The deal has been floating around it looks like since July 8, 2010, my birthday! The agreement was finalized and signed… …October 22, 2010. Representing Mr. Kirk Kerkorian is none other than one of the biggest hitters in family law, Joe Mannis. When it comes to seasoned lawyers talk to Joe Mannis. Keep in mind, Mannis represented one of the richest men in the world on this divorce/support issue. Talk about Titans of DIVORCE, here you have two of the best in the game, Michael Trope and Joe Mannis!

In closing, this was some of the best big gun lawyering in Family Law court this year, Michael Trope for Lisa Kerkorian and Joe Mannis for Kirk Kerkorian. …Michael Trope, need I remind everyone that before becoming a lawyer, he was one of the biggest sports agents in the country…”The Art of Negotiating” is alive and well at Trope and DeCarolis.

UPDATE ADDITION: The settlement, which provides $100,000 a month until Kira turns 19 or until she graduates from high school, no longer is a full-time student or no longer is living with her mother full-time. After that, the settlement says, the child support will be reduced to $50,000 a month.

The agreement also provides for Kerkorian to pay expenses including school costs, equestrian expense, clothing, housing, travel, hobbies, automobiles, food, beauty treatments, tutoring, entertainment, parties and pets.

The AP reports that Lisa was married to Kerkorian for only 28 days and admitted that their daughter, Kara was not his biological daughter, but Kerkorian has loved her and been involved in her life as her “dad” since day one.

Wonder how much the Court awarded Michael Trope in attorney fees? Perhaps John J. Nazarian will get that scoop and share it with us as well.

Well it was smackdowns and laughs in Department 2 this morning at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse. Real funny for some and real sad for others. Department 2 is the domain of Judge Steinberg and the judge was sticking with her “tentative”..$489,254.05. Yup, she did it and this was an interim fee award without prejudice to request MORE!!!!! More??!! This judge got it and understood clearly what was being done in her court and did the right thing! And you know, the rich are different and should pay when they can to “keep the monkeys dancing.”

Who might you ask were the actors in this divorce drama???? Lisa Kerkorian was in court today with her lawyers, Michael Trope and his partner Patrick DeCarolis, it was strange, these two divorce titans said pretty much nothing…almost church-like! Their paperwork was submitted and there they sat waiting for a decision from Judge Steinberg. NOW, on the other side representing the 41st richest man in the world were Joe Mannis and Robert Kipper, who might you ask is their client? None other than Kirk Kerkorian, who is a very rich old fellow, born in Fresno on June 6, 1917. (I had the chance to meet him for a few seconds during his appearance in Federal Court in defense of his former lawyer and good friend, Terry Christensen. During the Anthony Pellicano wire tapping trial. He was twice as entertaining as Chris Rock …)

Joe Mannis was beside himself as he was throwing all he could to get the Judge not to give this huge sum of money to Lisa’s lawyers….

This is more than huge money, Michael Trope and his client Lisa K can go back to court and likely get more in the weeks and months to come. This is bad for the rich old guy, now the former love of his life can fight him with his own money! If I were Mr. Mannis I would hope that Mr. Kerkorian does not have the volume turned up on his hearing aid when his assistant tells him that he got hammered in Los Angeles this morning…then again one must reflect that you cannot take all that money with you…

Note: It would appear that this year Mr. Kerkorian has been very generous to a few lawyers here in Los Angeles…”what was that clicking sound on my phone?”…

This appears to have all of the big and powerful players in the Hollywood Divorce Scene employed, finish reading John J. Nazarian’s take at the below URL and while there browse through his latest group of articles and the joke he posted.

The latest potential train wrecks, Da Kardashians — Kim and her BIG sister Kourtney — were exiting a car when some poor photographer got very close, it is being reported. And Kim and BIG sis Kourtney’s security thugs took care of business. What does that mean? Just because the guy has a camera does not make him a “threat,“ as a matter of fact is it not these very same people who made these nobodies somebodies?

The members of our security details are off-duty police and sheriff deputies and above all gentlemen. You can still have “security” and not get sued or arrested, it is called having trained people in place and COMMON SENSE. During the Phil Spectre circus we saw his “security“ team and being that he was so rich it would appear that he had paid by the pound for the two cows in very large suits that accompanied him and his wife to and from the court.

…For Nazarian and Associates, we don’t hire people by how many pounds they weigh but for what they have between their ears: brains. …

And how about this, you don’t want the attention, don’t leak your schedule to the paparazzi and chances are they won’t be there. Ahhhh, that would be too disappointing, no one to take your picture and document how surprised you look. OH NO, but then TMZ would not have you to make comments about on there site. There are dozens of ways to keep from being confronted by the photogs. A perfect example is when Adam Braun and I accompanied a client to be booked for the Anna Nicole [Smith] debacle…there was no photo of her entering the police station, and no photo of her leaving. Also keep in mind that I planned the entire event and the best part NO MUG SHOT! We don’t want to be sued and we don’t want to attack the very people who make us famous, THE PAPARAZZI, these men and women provide a service. For sure there are times when you wish they were not parked in front of your house or apartment. How about this, send for coffee and sandwiches for them while they are camped out and maybe they will give you a break. We use other less pleasant tactics but they are harmless…who can predict a broken hose or sprinklers going off by accident?

When a real threat is in place, get out of the area quickly and use the appropriate force to do that. Having trained professionals will do the trick and you don’t get that for 50 bucks an hour. But if you hire meat to beat people and smack them around and break their cameras, you’ll PAY FOR IT in bail, lawyers and settlements.

On March 17 John J. Nazarian appeared on Extra to talk in general terms about things you need to look for as red flags that your spouse maybe cheating on you.

For those of you not on dial up, I suggest you watch the interview at this URL:

http://extratv.warnerbros.com/videos/?autoplay=true&mediaKey=0c945f76-16a7-40b7-8afa-0f580b417ae1.

Nazarian gave four red flags that all women whether celebrity are not that might want to take note of.

1. If you see your spouse change from boxers to briefs.

2. If your spouse changes from Old Spice to some expensive cologne (especially if you did not give it to him).

3. If your husband normally drives about ten miles a day and you see a sudden jump consistently to say thirty miles a day.

4. Cell phone bills if the calls go up from a few minutes to sixty minutes you might want to ask some questions.

John Nazarian’s Extra TV interview he gave some additional advice it is well worth a watch. Be sure to visit Desperate Exes.com for John J. Nazarian take on all things Hollywood.

I enjoyed it and immediately asked Ken; “what are you wearing tonight?”.

Nazarian does not talk about the John Edwards or his wife Elizabeth Edwards, Tiger Wood and Elin Nordegren or Jesse James and Sandra Bullock scandals that appear to be plaguing the infotainment news.

Tap Tap Tap Tap me, whatever pain or harm a wiretap can bring is nothing compared to the financial rewards that can land in the victim’s bank accounts. There is not one doubt in my mind that I was “listened to” during the days of Anthony Pellicano’s reign of terror. …To think of all that money slipping through my hands only because my government got hoodwinked by a self-taught private investigator in the art and wizardry of wiretapping and the storage of information. All at the hands of a computer geek and “The Pelican.”

I have heard through the grapevine MILLIONS were paid to make one “victim” go away, and even a couple of lesser victims got more than they could have ever dreamed of. However, there are people in the world that a million, 2 million, 3 million is a little like tipping the parking attendant a $ 10 bill: big deal for that parking guy, ain’t shit for the guy giving it…very similar here folks.

And in some people’s circles, when you put your ass on the line and “stay the course” it is expected that you and those close to you will be taken care of. That is real old school if you get what I am saying here folks. …And in the end what is a an old law career worth anyways, 1 million, 2 million, 3 million…well I think you are getting the point here. …

…Very rich divorce lawyers battling it out in the civil courts and one is guilty as hell and the other is a victim. The problem is the next payout will not be fast and easy as this last one. Damn, Tap Tap Tap away…as it is so often stated, the rich get richer, and the rest of us? We at least sleep well, right fellas?

Please visit Desperate Exes.com for to read the rest of John J. Nazarian’ article. Once again never say never because then something about what you think is a over lawsuit comes back to haunt you.

The earth shook in Los Angeles last night while I was seated at my favorite table at Club Cicada in downtown. Then I was tossed out of bed this morning and I could not understand why….was I dreaming? There were legal papers by the thousands flying out of windows of a high rise in Century City, what’s up?

Well, I was soon to understand that at 8:30 AM , at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in Dept.2 Judge Marjorie Steinberg threw out all of the work that Terry Christensen (former lawyer) and Wendy Herzog, Esq. did on behalf of their very very very very very rich client. That being none other than the very rich and very old and very powerful Kirk Kerkorian. Pellicano’s wiretapping undid the whole package and the paper storm was all that “good” legal work flying out the window and headed to the city dump. And all of this was at the hands of M.L. Trope, Lawyer. Michael to some, Mr. Trope to many others.

Lisa Kerkorian my friend and former client is being represented by one of the biggest names in divorce in Southern California, Michael L. Trope, Esq. of the firm Trope & DeCarolis, LLP. Michael is one of those lawyers who will take you apart very methodically and never raise his voice, as I said before he has an interesting style.

…The billionaire gambling tycoon Kirk Kerkorian cannot be happy about this, he is going to be back at square one…talk about shooting “craps.”

To read the rest of this beginning saga we are going to follow read the rest of the story at John J. Nazarian.

Well, the train is coming around the bend and judgment day is fast approaching…and the letters of “suggestions” for the wish list of the victims of the Pelican and others! Andyes, for sure there are those who wish that Terry Christensen, too, will be crucified along with the big feathered one and his cronies…aka the “The R.I.C.O. Boys.”

We are posting the letters that were written, very nice letters, well-written for the most part, and all very politely “hang the bastards” in tone. Click on the names for pdf’s of each letter.

Jane Doe #8 one that I felt terrible, really terrible during the trial to think that after what happened to her, there was a police sgt. helping her attacker get away with the crime…..she touches on the fact that this went on for so long with the knowledge of many, “nothing short of terrorism”. And she mentions Danny Davis and Ron Richards as the lawyers for John G. Jones…”antics” is used and it is a good word, this girl was a victim…and the DA could not even help her!

You can read the rest of Mr. Nazarian’s article and download the victim statements from his site. I have to say I think this is one of the most touching articles I have read, it allows all to look into what the victims felt about the police sergeant helping Pellicano which really left many victims with no where to go. Mr. Nazarian even apologizes to one he had contact with for not believing the person or how bad all of this was for these people.
