Oh, To Be Allan Lerner!



One of the perks of being a litigator is you just never know what your day will bring. Can you imagine, sitting in your office, starting the day, and who should call but Terrell Owens! And he inadvertently stumbled onto some porn being filmed on South Beach. And he's in the picture!

Well, that's when you spring into action, just like Allan Lerner did in this cease-and-desist letter published here. What do you think of Allan's letter? I kinda like it -- it's somewhat minimal and even restrained, but so many lawyers go way over the top with them. I think this one hits the right tone.

Boy, that's a fun case. Much better than enforcing arbitration provisions, arguing about contracts, or discussing fraudulent land sales. Good luck Allan -- keep us informed on the results!

It's all those east coast ivy leaguers who go over the top with their letters.

BTW SFL any word on when the princess' computer will be fixed? I'm just asking since clearly there is a something going on between you two.

Leave SFL alone he's broken hearted enough, why add salt to his wound?

Any word on the release date of the porno?

If the princess is single SFL, go for it!

You boys crack me up.

Why don't one of you big shots expense a cheap laptop from your firm and send it north, with a nice note?

Should we write 'with love from SFL?'

How about:

'Thanks for a wild time in the Keys'

11:49: up north? I thought you had the princess living somewhere near your office SFL?

"Thanks for the gumbo."

gumbo-heh, heh, is that what they call 'it' these days?

"I purchased the extra-protection plan for your new laptop princess.
BTW, how's Spitzer?"

2:04- I just realized what 'gumbo' means.

SFL here's my nice note,

'Princess on a scale of 1-10, 1 being lousy and 10 being wild and out of this world, please rate the performances of SFL and Spitzer'

SFL how do you want us to ship it, fed-ex or ups?

6:08- the princess lives in Miami. SFL bought her a place, he'll be dropping the laptop off himself. SFL, did you lease the place or buy it?

-agreed!

6:21, the question needs rephrasing and should be redirected to SFL.

SFL on a scale of 1-10, 1 being lousy and 10 being wild and out of this world please rate the performance of the princess.

BTW feel free not to hold back anything.

Is the princess' laptop really broken SFL or did the two of you concoct this story as an excuse to go away together, again?

6:21, don't mention Spitzer and the princess in the same sentence!

3:39, does the princess drop by your office or do you drop in and see her?
