The client, who lives in California, hired my firm to have a New York court appoint a guardian for her mother. I succeeded in having the court appoint both the temporary and permanent guardian selected by the client. Notwithstanding, the client continually bullied and harassed me and everyone else. While on a 14 day vacation, the client sent me over 130 emails. She demanded huge cuts in legal fees because, rather than have a witness sit in court all day, I scheduled his appearance for after lunch. She accused her mother’s court-appointed lawyer of providing inadequate representation. She accused the court-appointed temporary guardian of dishonesty to the court. The client, who claims to be a clinical psychologist, determined that the psychiatrist hired by the temporary guardian to testify as an expert was suffering “dementia” and demanded that the psychiatrist surrender his medical license. The judge eventually threatened the client with a restraining order. These are but a brief sampling of the client’s abusive and outlandish behavior. Copies of non-privileged documents will be furnished upon request.
