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.

Once again it’s “Super Lawyers” time…folks, this is so embarrassing! Embarrassing from the point that this is PAID PUBLICITY, paid for by the “Super Lawyers” themselves. Sure I have heard all about the “point system” and “input from peers,” I am just having problems telling Bullshit from Roses.

…Input from peers, and 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement-things like experience, verdicts, and settlements, transactions, clients, honors and awards — this was taken from “Super Lawyers” on how the “Supers” are selected…I am not buying it.

…And it gets even better, there is Top 10 Law Schools, The Top 100, The Top 50, The Rising Stars. Well how about this, The Biggest Wallet, The Newest Rolls Royce, The Biggest Gut, The Smallest Feet, our favorites The Best Dressed, The Worst Dressed, The Worst Breath, The Biggest Ego, The Coolest Offices, and as you see this could go on and on.

…I know some of these lawyers, and to call them “Super” would be a little like watching a train wreck and applauding. There are some very good lawyers on the list… …Oh that is one of the other fun things you can do if you buy one of these silly advertising gimmicks and that is having it framed and hanging in your office…problem, they are also hanging in all of the other “Super Lawyers” offices…..why? They too paid for it!

Hmm, I just had a thought, they should reach out to all of those unhappy clients who may have hired a “Super Lawyer” from this list and got hammered. We could then have the “Asswipe Awards,”… …could be a money maker too, and at least it would be honest and heart-felt.

Note: “Super Lawyers” does print this: “You may wonder whether lawyers pay to be included. The simple and unequivocal answer is no. …who writes this stuff? guys in long coats, tall hats and carpet bags?

DesperateExes.com will be posting our own list of lawyers who we think are the best here in the Southern California area, based on our experience and observation, not payola. But if anyone wants to send us $25,000, we’ll be happy to post your picture, suitable for framing!

To get the most from this article and Ken could hear me laughing across our house, and you can’t even hear the dogs barked from that distance; this full article is a must read, laughter is good for the soul. WARNING: Do not have any type of drink in hand or take a sip you too could have a screen full of cola as I did while reading this.

http://desperateexes.com/2010/02/04/super-lawyers-meet-asswipes/.

Be sure you visit the rest of Desperate Exes.com while there some great, funny and some serious articles. My vote is John J. Nazarian should write a book, call it Desperate Exes!.

Just as the seasons change and summer leaves and fall begins and as we prepare for the Thanksgiving Day holiday Chickie’s Bail Bonds throws one hell of a “High Brow” Gala. She does this every year. Chickie Leventhal, Mitch and Karen throw this party every year with a different theme and it has to cost a king’s ransom. This was a big one as it was her 25th year in the bail business.

The dinner is held at one of the best restaurants in Southern California, Melisse, with chef Josiah Citrin at the stove… …Melisse is a two Michelin Star award-winning contemporary French …did I not say that Chickie is always first class?

So how do you get the invite? Well for us it is simple, DesperateExes.com only supports one bail agency and that is Chickie’s Bail. The reason for us is simple, we are a class act and so are Chickie and her agents… …Now most of the other guests are criminal defense lawyers… …I have attended this event for years and have never spoken to many of the “criminal defense” lawyers… …I “read” people, and when you tell them what you charge per hour I can see… …I could care less as to working with only certain lawyers, as my good friend, Robert M. Cohen, lawyer always tells me, “John, you cannot work for everyone.” Now the guys I do work with in the criminal defense community, such as Adam Braun, Barry Tarlow, Eric Safire, Jeff Sklan and Harland Braun, these guys are the very top shelf of Criminal Defense lawyers…..and once again they are the only group that we at DesperateExes.com will ever refer our clients to.

Well, back to the party, it is always a pleasure to deal with Chickie or Karen or Mitch when they call as it just does not get any better with these good people. And if ever you need a bail agent remember these people please… …they are people of their word and will be there to help.

PS: Just do not leave any valuables in your car when you valet at Melisse. I had something stolen from my car (I looked at it as I was getting out and told the valet to be sure to lock the car, and when I came out I looked again and it was gone). For sure I threw a fit outside before leaving…the manager aka Matthew Greenberg aka Da Maitre D’ told me, “they don’t work for us, “ then gave me his card and told me to call the next day….no Matthew I am not calling, I have a much better idea, you have THIEVES working as “valets,” as do many establishments who want to sell the responsibility of taking care of where you park when you visit a Two Star Michelin-rated eatery…..at Pink’s I park my own car and never in over 30 years have I lost a pencil!

…Eric Safire, Esq. was one of the best criminal defense attorneys in the state. Back in the day I would meet Eric at the trunk of his Mercedes and he would brief me on what he needed. Today Mr. Safire works out of the “Safire Building” …Eric took me aside and said, “Look, you get into trouble, I can get you off and it is no big deal.” But, Mr. Safire further explained to me, if he got into trouble, he could loose his right to practice law — his “ticket” aka a “bar card.” Along with surrounding myself with good people, I always remembered that very sound advice…and have treaded cautiously. Most of the people I work with are off-duty and retired police officers — that helps, right “Bobby” and “Bill”?

In yesterday’s Los Angeles Times a headline caught my eye, “Private investigator pleads no contest.” Well, Mr. Bradley G. Miller, the former private investigator …I was curious as I had always associated Mr. Miller as being one of Mark Geragos’s guys …The AP is reporting Geragos has long worked with Miller, including during Geragos’ unsuccessful defense of the little shop lifter Winona Ryder…

Nazarian and Associates is very proud to say that we have never ever associated with Gagagosh and for myself, I would sooner eat lunch with Harvey Levin than to work with anyone in Gagagosh’s office. Funny, TMZ.com was reporting that one of Gagagosh’s P.I.s (”big name” in this town, it was reported) is working on Nicole Richie’s car wreck case…

…I will never understand, being in a town with Adam Braun, Harland Braun, Thomas Mesereau and Barry Tarlow. These names are royalty in the world of defense. Is it the face time he gets on “Geraldo” or on TMZ? and how TMZ handles Gagagosh makes one wonder what is that relationship about…..funny stuff….

Gagagosh also represented Michael Jackson before Michael smelled the coffee burning and went to a real defense attorney, one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Southern California, Thomas Mesereau. It is reported that Mr. Mesereau has had to file a $341,000 claim against Mr. Jackson’s estate for his fees. What? Michael Jackson “stiffed” someone? Am I surprised? LMAO… Many years ago I was contacted to handle a “de-bugging” at the Neverland Ranch, all was going very well till I asked for money to be placed into an escrow account and to have my good friend Robert M. Cohen handle all the legal ends of the transaction. I got silence first and then the “that will be fine, we will be in contact in a few days” line (that is like verbal air kisses in this town).

…You know it is like thin ice, you see some fat guy waddling across and all is good, you take two steps and you go through the ice and you find yourself up to your knees…go figure.

Note: Geragos is not accused of involvement in the alleged conspiracy or payoff that his private investigator was involved with and plead to.

There is so much more to read on this article and as always the unique take on Desperate Exes.com of John J. Nazarian P. I. Extraordinaire to the rich and famous. Mr. Nazarian is a very nice man, but you better be both rich and famous to afford him. Anyway take a look at his take on the Geragos – Miller connection and while there browse around at some of his other often funny but always calling him as he sees them in the town we call Hollyweird.
