Rose you are on a roll tonight, cracking me up girl.

So does O’Quinn want the do over because the judge denied his request of throw out this case? Does O’Quinn really think a do over is going to turn things around in his favor?
Hell Virgie had a do over but she’s still ugly on the inside
oops, my bad that was a makeover she had huh 
OMG! WTH is TX going to do? Have an immediate Appeal for every legal decision that is not in their favor?
No, I do not believe it will be a ‘Death by 1,000 cuts’, as O’Quinn and his firm’s many cases have came to the public’s knowledge as of late…
It seems they do not pay their legal help, their clients appear to not get what they are intitled to, and they stall as long as they can in Court;which costs the opposing side an enormous amount!
I have a feeling that everyone knows now how they play their game! I bet the Judge will not allow this crap, everyone sees it and is tired of it!
LOL I hope Lin Wood responds and files tomorrow! All he has to say is: ‘You’ve Got to be Kidding!’
JMA, is that what that was in NY?
Amazibg..i was thinking they didnt do that til after a decision was made but I believe Opri did that as well when a judge ruled for no arbitration…u would think this will be cut and dry doe an appeallate court. These people are slimeballs all at the expense of taxpayers and everynr but themselves
I guess this is Quinn’s way of saying HOLLY CRAP I WANT OUT OF THIS…He knows he is in big deep do do now. Howard isn’t going to let this low life attorney get away with his crap. If it take Howard 10 years he will go after Quinn. Quinn is a smart ass and thought the courts would go his way, well it didn’t and he now whats a do over. What a joke….Time to pay the piper Quinn…..
Statements in the motion to appeal that would make one go hmmm….
“O’Quinn is ameable to process in Texas”
“Defendants maintain that trial in this jurisdiction would cause oppressiveness and vexation to O’Quinn out of all proportion to Stern’s convenience”.
BRING OUT THE PACIFIER,OQ is having a temper tantrum,I not getting what I want,I don,t want to play here any more.I wish the judge who squash that BUG.OQ is trying to make a mockery of the court,Does this piece of nothing,know how this looks,like i want my case in Texas,where I paid off judges,that is what this looks like.
This is the way OQuinn works, appeal, appeal. trying to get his way. But don’t forget, this court does not belong to him, it belongs to the state of FL and they will give a fair deal. OQuinn has enough on his plate right now, with all the other appeals, can you imagine how he feels when his mind kick in gear and he has to think about his career going down the drain. I almost choke on that one NOT.
i would say the oquinn law irm is already down the toilet and HKS and Lin Wood just need to push the lever to FLUSH
Unbelieveable!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the the only thing O’Quinn is going to succeed in doing is pissing off the judge.
I think the the only thing O’Quinn is going to succeed in doing is pissing off the judge.
Guess what, Your not in Kansas, I mean Texas any more Toto I mean John.
Just what did you expect you dimwit.

Ann [13] I agree.
heath
Beth [5] if that is what you want to call it, but whoever paid for her transition needs to ask for their money. Virgie Arthur can go and have as many makeovers she wants on the outside but there is nothing in the world that can makeover a cold and evil heart on the inside.
Well,we just had a big rain storm,with thunder,and lighting and about 3 inches of rain,but I could not wait to get to the computer to see if what I read last night was true,This Man(OQ),should already be put out to the curb for WM(Waste Mangement) .At first last night I just laughed,but it is not funny,By now,even the judge must be fed up .OQ and Virgie are so much alike,it is uncanny.GIVE ME WHAT I WANT OR ELSE.CHUCKIE AND HIS BRIDE,Maybe if the courts made good,on there decisions,OQ would not have all this money to torment people.I am for the Bahamas way of doing things,A HEAFTY FINE.
Beverly with all the bad publicity O’Quinn is getting these days I would think the Texas courts will see him for what he truly is, a shady lawyer. O’Quinn not only stole money from his breast implant clients but also possibly did the same with his Fen-Phen clients along with making unethical accusation on national television. I think the judges are keeping a close eye on this man. H’m maybe Joe Jamail can bring O’Quinn down once again with the Fen-Phen clients as he did for the breast implant clients, now wouldn’t that be something?
I agree with all the statements above and the ones following. It’s time for him to hang up his hat, he’s the kind that give all lawyers a bad name and it’s time to put a stop to his BS!
flowerz I agree. It’s time for O’Quinn to say adiós to practicing law.
I hope the court laughs in O’Quin’s face.
Gesh. These people really cant get a clue. Lets see…first that appealed Judge Seilden’s decision that
Anna obviously wanted to be buried next to Daniel. When they lose that they go and try the absolutely disgraceful
last minute attempt of having Anna’s burial stopped (I tell ya, once DL see that little act she’s really going understand why
her mother, father, and ‘unlce howard’ wanted nothing to do with her birthgrandmother.) Then they go and try to stop
Larry from leaving with DL. Getting her away from the person she begged on stand to get her away from btw.
And now this…Team Texas really is something else. Lin Wood must laugh his ass off at them. Its like the harlem globetrotters
playing agaisnt the washington generals
#9 Beverly, Temper tantrum is right, he can’t stand to be told NO. So now he is going after the judge.
#12 Sammy,
My sentiments exactly!
#13 Ann,
You got that right.
#15 heath,
I had the same thought, LOL. And I sure hope the Florida courts will not let him bully them as he has tried to do with everyone else.
FYI TO VIVIAN AND MISH,
Knock yourselves out posting on Art’s, the board is yours!!! And I’m practicing the sticks and stones rule.
Febbie I agree “This is the way OQuinn works, appeal, appeal. trying to get his way”. I do not believe “things” will go his way though!
You all are cracking me up
Beverly, “bring out the pacifier”…..LOL
Anyone know how a corporate insurance policy works? If by chance, O’Q is denied his appeal, and this goes further to trial or settlement, is O’Q obligated to try every avenue? Would an insurance company say something like you didn’t appeal that motion, so your on your own buddy? Just thinking..
From reading round the net, on some of O’Q cases, his responses are similar in his motions. ‘Reasonable person’ is a favorite phrase. Wonder why he threw a Ms. Grider under the bus? Took her case and then missed deadlines to appeal, according to her.
Either way, he is a polarizing figure. You either love him or hate him. He surely hasn’t acheived what he’s accomplished by being ‘Mr. Nice Guy’. Imagine there’s a few enemies along the way. Wonder who will sell their soul for a chance to take the big man down.?
I liked Beverly’s description of O’Q & VA in comment #19 Chuckie & his bride, now that was funny
NCUser you would think, as many times as O’Quinn’s appeals have been denied he would not even attempt. Maybe he thought his appeals regarding Virgie Arthur were denied due to being a client. He may have thought if he tried to appeal on behalf of himself, a judge would grant it to him due to he is a lawyer involved in a suit. Just a silly thought, but to me he seems arrogant enough to think along those lines.
Bewildered… Where did u read his Grider story? I havent been able to keep up on links or most of the filings lately. U guys r making me laugh
I can only add that this is not a surprise that he would appeal the previous order. He wants this in Texas where he probably figures he owns the courts. I hope the higher court in FL agrees with the lower court decision and deny a change of venue. (I hope I got the right :))
# 24 Sunflower, I haven’t been to Art’s in a spell, so I had to go see why you left. I agree, kinda surprised me. There is so much to this story that I don’t understand so it’s hard for me to understand somethings that have gone on. I don’t think I will be posting there much, if any, too.
SUNFLOWER—-I was also posting on ART site,wrote to him,and he sent back a E-Mail I WAS NOT BANNED,YET WHEN i go to sign in,i cannot get passed there is no question for lighthouse,that was what i uaed,so I STOP TRYING,
#20 JMA:
I am so hoping what you wrote is right. I was thinking along the same lines. O’Q’s reputation precedes him!!!
Would be the iceing on the cake if Joe jamil took the Phen-Phen case also LOL He knows what he is doing.Someone needs to put a stop to O’Quinns type of practicing with having judges in his pocket so to speak by donations ,country club member ships parties together.It is about time some ne tried the 1000 cuts on him.Maybe with all these suits against him at the same time it will put him in his place.I don’t think Florida will give an inch for him.This is not his territory
I just read the filings and really had to laugh at it causes vexaction for Mr O’Q to appear in the Florida courst of course it does he can’t control or spook those courts and get tham to side with him. It causes vexation to himLOL LOL
tHIS IS OFF SUBJECT——I believe Calyee in ORANGE COUNTY FLORIDA is dead,After hearing the daughter speak to her mother and brother,she reminds me of Virgie,A COLD HEARTED sub-human,I also believe she waited a month to say something in the hope Caylee body would decompose,I also do not believe she is too close by,I believe that was to lead any one looking for the child in the wrong direction.The longer she sits in jail the more the body decomposes.
Beverly .I take it they have not found the child either dead or alive yet.I just hope none of the nancy Grace types get ahold of her befor we can find out more..I don’t believe theyever did find anything after Nancy grace spooked the girl that killed herself.We sure don’t need another like that
That is interesting question regarding corporate insurances… If i recall correctly one o oquinns filings has the oquinn law insurance limitations and the # was rather large. Also now that some of ritas depo was sealed in fla as well i cant c a judge letting oquinn off the hook. A jury would reward large amounts IMO for all the multiple accusations and oquinn isnt going to want to go that route. This appel is perhaps oquinn and the insurance companies last route before offering a settlement? We shall c. I believe a jury would award the skies the limit for appropriate punishment of attys oversteppng the line o level the playing field as oquinn stated..
not to mention everything and everyone seeking the limelight or a piece of the pie had to resort to illegal means to try to obtain. Not a one of them had truth on their side!
Ladies - new web sites for Anna and Larry. Several pictures I don’t recall seeing before. Check them out.
****Warning some of these pictures are nudes of Anna Nicole Smith…***** by Rose just so some other sites don’t blast us, just a friendly warning*****

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE————–OQ is making a fool out of all the those other site,s that are backing Him McCabe Virgie,You can already see the (RAT) ,upset,and running for his dear life,back were he feels safe,I know,this will not matter to those,who.s minds are closed,but if there hero OQ ,was about to (make Howard sorry for suing OQ) he sure as hell doing a poor job of it,In fact,after so many,put downs by the courts,If I was OQ and firm,I would find a bolder and hide under it.
This guy is a joke. If Florida grants his little request I’ll lose my friggin mind. This guy thinks he’s Jesus doesn’t he?
#40 Butterfly…EXACTLY!
Good article. I’m certain Howard will win out in the end. I can’t wait until O’Quinn, Fox News, and the others that falsely accused
Howard and belittled him will have to pay for the damage they have done to his reputation.
Skooly
#32 flowerz and #33 Beverly
Art is a good guy, but he will not be writing articles on Howard anytime soon as the trail is not until May of next year. I want to spend my time and energy on a site with and all the latest updates and information on the cases and Rose’s is the best. We also have the best people here too. I don’t have to worry about the so called Howard supporters who mingle with the dark side. I’m a diehard Howard Supporter and proud of it and I don’t believe in sleeping with the enemy.
Nothing shocks me that John O’Quinn does, look at what he did to his own clients in the breast implant cases and the Fen Phen cases. It’s will documented that he doesn’t play fair and believes he is above the law.
#35 hmm,
GREAT IDEA!!
MICHAEL PHELPS HAS DONE US PROUD!!! GO MICHAEL!!
#27 Bewildered… Interesting question, would depend on how many claims the insurance policy has paid I would think, dunno for sure, but kind of like your home or car insurrance would depend on the policy and how many claims it has paid I would think… now does the insurance pay for his “reasonable defense”? I have not read the policy he turned over in discovery that is now an exhibit so what is your take on it Bewildered?
Sell a soul to take the big man down… interesting… I think Jamail from what I have read has stood toe to toe and won a lot of cases and does not seem to have sold his soul along the way… Mmmmmmm very interesting points you are making here… thought provoking..
New article up by John Nazarian it will make you laugh, warning if you are drinking coffee or anything you might spit it on your keyboard…
#27 Bewildered,
you would have to ask Lloyds of London.

“wonder who would sell their soul to take a big man down?”
Something about that statement bothers me. Sounds like the “dark side” talking. From what I’ve seen about these suits they all seem to be very deserving. He has apparently cheated his clients out of money. (Phen fen) He called a man a murder on national television and has engaged with others to smear him.
Rose, what was that case we talked about that had the doctor connection? He was abomished by the courts in that case.
I don’t know about his insurance policy. I started to read it but got bored with it very quickly. I imagine that it has a “lifetime” policy limit. When this goes to trial (please don’t settle HKS. let all the misdeeds come out) whatever HKS is awarded, I’m pretty sure his policy will cut off at a certain point and he will be responsible for the rest of it. Like with a homeowners policy or car policy.
#50…
I’m more of a light chaser than the dark side.
After O’Q appealed, I was curious that he had never done biz in Florida. A man of his stature surely had to have some dealings so I looked around the net. That’s where I found the case of Grider Bfly. Sounds like she didn’t like the outcome of the trial and went after O’Q and company for not filing an appeal in time.

And I really am a novice when it comes to reading court junk. I normally skip over the case files references and read the rest to try and make sense.
And another suit filed I found that O’Q’s firm was tickled as punch when they thought they had the judge they wanted..
http://209.85.141.104/search?q=cache:1EKu6IsevUUJ:www.houstonpress.com/content/printVersion/219025+kennedy+height+judge+oquinn&hl=en&gl=us&strip=1
Only to be brought to suit by those he was representing. Look at April 8-9 posting. He promised them big, they didn’t get what they wanted, sued him in return. Interesting comment about the image buffering.
Found another link where O’Q wanted to represent the state of Florida over the scandel in the voting but he didn’t get it. Said something to the effect, if he had, Gore would be president.
Amazing what you can find on Google, huh?
Even found a site where it was claimed that O’Q’s involvement in representing the penny stock fraud was connected to Seidlin in a round about way. I had read about the penny stock stuff when Art was reporting but not about Seidlin.
Another link of someone O’Q represented and how revered he was by the man he helped. Interesting comments about the ‘runners’ that law firms imploy.
http://209.85.141.104/search?q=cache:2qCp900-LBYJ:www.houstonpress.net/1997-01-23/news/o-quinn-is-a-miracle/+Kurth+%22o%27quinn%22&hl=en&gl=us&strip=1
The reason I wondered about the insurance is someone on Topix, I think it was, commented that O’Q would not have to sell any of his cars if he had to pay. His insurance company would handle it. I did see the big price tag for that policy too Bfly and think I commented on it at the time.
I look at comments or clues or hints and go off on a tangent. One link leads to another and before you know it , I’m lost
And as far as taking the big man down, that was just a phrase. I know nothing about Jamail? Never searched about him. I’m thinking Rita will be the one that upsets the apple cart if it ever goes to trial. But one things for certain, not all in the industry of law, think O’Q is to be respected. I never knew that much about him, until this story. And from what I’ve found on the web, he’s polarizing. Like I said, love him or hate him.
#51
No worries. Just the thought made my skin crawl a little. If you know what I mean?
Rose, can you send me the protected PW. The day I got the last one is the day they changed it again. I’v been waiting but I think they forgot about me.
#53 Ray…..I haven’t got one either. I would think that for security reasons there is a lag in giving the password out…but I really don’t know. We’ll get one in time though….
Thanks for the links Bewildered. It is interesting what is on the Internet these days. I see the cable news becoming obsolete in the future
