What are some of those just brilliant old expressions? “Every dog has its day,” “sleep with dogs, wake up with fleas,“ and one of the best ones that comes to my mind today is “you don’t know what you got till you lose it.” And did I hear someone ask, “Have you seen Michael?”…LMAO, I think I found him and have the wet clothes to prove it, read on.
You heard it here first folks, on January 2, 2011 I predicted that “it would appear that others too are checking the depth of the water and chipping barnacles in hopes of setting sail.” Well, I am walking to my car after having an incredible lunch with one of my best friends, Sorrell Trope founder of Trope and Trope. Sorrell and I had a great lunch and as always the conversation was the best. All of a sudden I get hit with a hail of water, another “anchor” dropped and it was at 9465 Wilshire Boulevard…wait, this is the offices of Jamra & Jamra! Shiver me timbers, it is Michael B. Hanasab, Esq. He has said goodbye to Phillips, Lerner & Lauzon, LLP aka “Sticey Flips & Co.” It would seem that at this rate, Ms. Flips offices will be a great place to practice yodeling. The upside of all this is that new associates will have a place to get some experience in the world of divorce. My opinion is just that, my opinion, but “Flips” still has some great talent in suite 1200. My only thought is this, who is next? I hear some serious barnacle chipping is still going on.

Michael Hanasab, Esq. is one of DesperateExes.com’s favorite associates and for sure one of the up and coming divorce lawyers. Remember we are tracking the bright stars in the world of divorce, associates are our stars and in time you will see why. Michael arrived March 21, 2011 his ship docked….then why did I get splashed this afternoon? Mr. Hanasab is a graduate of Loyola and has been practicing for 6 years. When asked what moved him to set sail, it was a simple response, “this was a step up and out “. Michael I could not agree with you more, you have joined one of the premier up and coming law firms in Southern California. To be more exact, Beverly Hills, if you have not seen the new offices of Jamra & Jamra all I can say is wow! The furniture, the art work and the incredible fresh flowers and orchids, very nice, tranquil and classy…that is what this firm is all about.
…Congratulations Michael and Grace the best is yet to come. …You can find Michael B. Hanasab, Esq at Jamra & Jamra, 9465 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 460, Beverly Hills, California. Call Michael and say hi, 310-278-9001
…Be sure to visit Desperate Exes.com for this article as well as a few others we have not picked up. I catch we need to watch those upcoming stars to see where John J. Nazarian is going with all of this.

How many of us have had to deal with associates at these mega law firms? Lots and we have heard all of the comical and not-so-comical issues concerning them. You have some such as Troy A. Christiansen and Adam P. Lipsic, both of Hersh, Mannis & Bogen, incredible talent…
…Here is another group of shining stars: Annie Nakornratana Slusser, Erica Swensson, and Benjamin Valencia, these three are from the firm of M-O-L-M aka Meyers, Olson, Lowy and Meyers…
…Not to be left out you cannot forget one of the biggest, Trope and Trope, here I find a few that I love and a few…not so much. Here are a couple of my favorites, Tara Scott, Meghann Bonvie, and of course Angela Harris… …Working with Sorrell Trope you will learn things no law professor will ever teach you.
Another just wonderful office is that of Judith R. Forman, here you will find Cori G. Stockman, an integral part of the firm, incredible legal talent and most of all smart…
…Over at Susan Wiesner’s office you will find Sawsan Mansour, Amanda B Harvey, and Adam N. Schanz…
…The above is just a very small list of some very competent associates who I believe are on the fast track to fame and most of all fortune in the Divorce Game, or as it is known in proper circles, Family Law…
…Hey, I could be on to something here…sure, Soooooper Dooooooper Associates. We could collect lots of money and do mailings and put the names on office-looking letterhead and make millions, and like the others, you’ll be Sooooooper Doooooper as long as you paid for your placement on our site! What a concept!
Now on the other hand, if you have a dozen or so or 5 or 6 associates you will have what we call “God’s 2%.” Who are they you ask?
There is much more that John J. Nazarian has to say on all of this at Desperate Exes.com, which reflects his caustic sense of humor, I am not sure but it is worth a read. Super Duper Associates, could there be a song in that?

Already? I rushed to my mailbox for my February issue of LOS ANGELES magazine and got an instant rash, 2011 Southern California Super Lawyers issue! We had our usual laughs and then it got serious, Phillips, Lerner, Lauzon & Jamra…Jamra, did she not so move on? Well if you look at page S-8 you will see the group photo, was that photoshopped? And the space between Sticey Flips and Grace Jamra is big enough to stick Lynn Soodik in, sure like a plug! …Grace Jamra is now Jamra and Jamra, there is no more ‘J’, it is ‘PLL’, as Grace is gone!
…Not to only mention Sticey, but who reads this drivel and hires someone based on being a “Super” anything, I think you should have “Super Dooper,” “Super Biller,” “Super Super Dooper”… My thought here folks is that I wish that I had been the slick SOB who came up with this idea, it is now showing up in other papers, everyone is “Super.” Then we have “top 50? and we have the “top 100,” this is great, how about the “bottom 3.” Or the “worst biller” or the “best biller” (we all know who those are!). Or the best dresser or the worst dresser, the best hair….the worst hair. How about for the men, those who never shine their shoes? Sorrell Trope will always be the best dressed and his shoes…like mirrors, and you won’t find him paying to be called a “Super Lawyer”. And here is the bad news, many of you who are grabbing for this silly title really suck at doing what you do and we all know who you are!

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.

The stock market stopped for a tad over thirteen (13) minutes as did the world compliments of the U. S. 24/7 as I love to describe them, “Infotainment News” and on Friday even what most of us consider “Real News”; with thousands of people watching just to hang on every word of Tiger Woods on Friday, February 19, 2010. One that had been advertised, and yes I do mean advertised, as in the advertising community paid a lot of money for plugs a head of this speech and for spots after this speech. It is no accident that Nike bought the advertising spot directly after the speech with “The Jungle Song” being played.
I was looking through CNN and MSNBC on Friday morning to just get my daily dose of what is going on in the world. I had missed the “original” thirteen minutes agonizing speech by Tiger Woods, however I did NOT miss the hour by hour analysis of body language experts, twelve steps experts in fact I half expected Woods to apologize to the Hollywood Madam whose newest claim to fame is getting trash shows and rags to continue to quote her about Tiger Woods and ALL of the money she has made. Have her “handlers” a/k/a federal prosecutors and probation officers told her that for the six months while writing her tell all book and doing a tad of house arrest with that cute little ankle bracelet that she might want to keep a LOW profile; but then my take is that would be impossible for her.
However, I regress, what do I know about Tiger Woods let me count the things since I am not a golfer or golf fan, the game to me looks like a slow drip of molasses with about that much excitement so I am perhaps skewed in my take on this.
1. Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer EVER.
2. Because of this he is the richest golfer EVER.
3. Because of this he has a Godzilla amount of Endorsements.
4. Because of those paid endorsements he makes even More Money.
That is about all I knew and all I needed to know about Tiger Woods until the replay and dissection of his thirteen minutes “I have sinned” speech, (flash back to Jimmy Swaggart’s crying confession of having sex with prostitutes. Of course he was neither rich nor talented except to take little old ladies money for his evangelism. DISCLAIMER: I BELIEVE IN GOD SO DON’T GO THERE, I DON’T BELIEVE IN USING THAT FAITH TO CASH IN.) Swaggart’s motivation was trying to right himself in time to not lose too much money. However, it was that repeat performance with pictures to show there was no change that did him in and no amount of crocodile tears could save him. (I could add thank God here but won’t)
So flipping through a twelve step program of things to do I see Woods is up to a combination of eight (8) and nine (9). Eight being: “Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.” With nine (9) being; “Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.”
Now did Tiger Wood’s lust to spend money and lavish himself with things considered taboo to a clean cut all American, trust your children to follow me, harm me? Nope his wife, his children, his mother, a few friends, the boy scouts and his sponsors, probably. Did it harm me that he went on international television to say he had amends to make and he had harmed people. That was a personal choice, in my opinion, that neither helped nor hurt him, however the “24/7 infotainment news world” got their pound of flesh to dissect for a whole news cycle so he sold advertisements for them, but did I need to hear that, nope.
Look he could have said what he needed to say, if he in fact needed to say anything as follows, in my opinion:
1. I am the best golfer to ever play the game.
2. I made millions in endorsements and money from championships.
3. With money comes, greedy people that want part of that money and will cater to all of your fantasies.
4. I gave into those fantasies and all that does is make me one more imperfect person and perhaps one headed to divorce court.
5. I am no hero, haven’t any of you learned yet to put an imaginary “icon” on a pedestal is going to cause that icon to show they have clay feet? Now he probably should have been saying that to parents and children all along during his career. History has taught us when you put the rich, famous, talented people on pedestals, gravity is always going to win and they will fall off.
6. Leave my wife, my kids and my mother alone, geesh people isn’t there better ways to spend your time then dissecting and stalking my family? (he did say that)
7. I am not going to address the gossip of the extent of my indiscretions that is between my family and me and perhaps my sponsors. (At least he did say that).
If he wanted to throw in that there was no domestic violence and his wife had not chased him with a nine iron down his home driveway, which frankly I kind of liked the idea of a beautiful woman chasing a cheating husband down the drive, that was his choice. So if that did not happen then Tiger Woods should have told us he was drunk, mad, sped away from a fight with his wife and crashed. Got it? That is all we needed to know, in fact we were not “entitled” to even that.
He could have done that in less than five minutes, yet we were all subjected to watching a very private person, who had lied along the way in making all that money, agonized over making amends and admitting his sins. Then we spent the rest of the day having pundits, professional psychologists, twelve step advisers and even body language experts tell us what part was real, what was not and what is next for the Woods’ brand.
Which by the way isn’t there more serious news to cover in the world then Tiger Woods?
We now know he is paying a LOT of money to a sex rehabilitation clinic and was going back to spend a LOT more money there. The Google alerts today say this sex clinic has had to put up a temporary privacy fence. I wonder if that fee was added to Tiger’s bill? I am willing to bet the people who run that inpatient clinic and get a LOT of money from Tiger Woods, high five Woods on his return with WOW man did you do good! You only have (fill in the number of weeks here they say he needs) while of course making a LOT more money from Tiger Woods. It is kind of like hookers charge but for now in a different direction for the rich and famous. I kind of hope Woods went to bed on Saturday night back at the rehab center with a thought of F-U, I feel worse not better and ya’ll made me do a super advanced advertising thirteen minute “I have Sinned” bullshit speech. But hey if it will keep my sponsors then it was a good business decision.
Tiger, let that be the only pound of flesh you hand the world of “24/7 infotainment news”. Their only purpose is to destroy people in search of those advertising dollars. Do what you have to do to rehabilitate your image so the money keeps coming in. However if I was you, one day remind all of these people you can do two things that almost none of them can do: 1. Be the greatest golfer of all time and 2. Make more money then most of them can dream about on Christmas Eve when lollipops of greed dance through their heads.
So have we had enough of Tiger Woods and the guy can get on with his life NOPE, there is just too much money to make in following this imperfect human being. It appears to me his main sin was demanding to keep his personal life very private. I hope he has learned that in doing that, which he was entitled to do, but with an imperfect life he opened the flood gates of man eating “24/7 infotainment”. Learn and move on with money and fame comes that occasional pound of flesh the public via “Infotainment 24/7 news cycles demands”. It is just the way of life these days. I do have to say I like how Tiger’s wife Elvin has handled this. Back to the sex clinic for Tiger but Elin will be taking the credit cards to go shopping and in a very public way. You got to love the way betrayed wives get to decide how much money it is going to cost those wayward husband to get out of the proverbial dog house.
YES THIS IS AN EDITORIAL NOT BASED ON FACTUAL INFORMATION BUT MY OWN THOUGHTS ON THE FIASCO THAT IS SURROUNDING TIGER WOODS.

Oh I am working on the Anna Nicole Smith vs. Michael Jackson investigations and subsequent charges, but those types of articles take a lot of research and links. A fast editorial just comes naturally.

Here is a story to commemorate our 3rd year of DesperateExes.com and my 19th as a private investigator. If I was to take my last breath tonight and not awake in the morning, someone would have to ask, where did he come from? My influence on the P.I. world will be around long after I am gone, that I promise you. And the guy who started the whole adventure…. Well, many readers know of my being adopted as an infant by a law-abiding, middle-class Armenian family in the 50s. John Joseph “Jack “ Nicholson and John James Nazarian have much in common in our early days on the planet, though he got here 15 years before me…he being born in New York City and I, Boston. We have let’s just say a very unusual and common thread… and it is also funny how much I always enjoyed the movie “Chinatown,” never to imagine I would become a P.I. myself one day.
…Got my head out of my ass to some degree, did well in school and off to the Navy after graduating from High School, and then began my next career as an embalmer. …I had a ball during the Disco Era and wild nights and even wilder days working at several mortuaries, one big party! “Six Feet Under” should have had me as an adviser…
…then I met Gary Lieberman, Esquire (much has been left out as many would not believe all that I have done!). Mr. Lieberman pretty much kicked my ass as well as my lawyer’s in a legal action involving my purchasing an apartment building in San Francisco….which was going well till “Mr. Lawyer” Lieberman came on the scene. That would lead to a friendship of more than 25 years that still exists to this very day, Gary was the guy who said, “John, have you ever thought of being a private investigator?” Gary Lieberman was also the very first lawyer to ever pay me, nineteen years ago, $45 an hour (it was a lot then!). Gary was first, then Lisa Meyer and Sorrell Trope, my three Jews, and Armand Keosian, Armenian. That is pretty much how I got started and the rest, as they say, is history. …those checks!!!! I have no idea where I would have ended up had it not been for these wonderful and generous people.
Gary emailed me just the other day:
“John: I have now looked at your website and I am more impressed than ever. To think that I had something to do with all of this is quite rewarding. I am sad that you didn’t talk about me at being at the beginning (just kidding). Remember when I took your deposition? The look on your face (and your attorney also) when I asked the realtor what kind of a deal this was that my client, the seller, had to put in $45,000 to close the deal???????????????? You were a good deponent……
Honestly, I am very proud to say that I know you (and knew you when) and that I paid you so much to work for me. See you soon my friend.
Gary”
Thanks Gary,
John
PS – I am sure there are many who wish you and I had never met, and the best part is that they have not seen the best yet!
