Legal Win with a Twist! Recently, I represented a landlord in an eviction hearing. My strategy focused on a technicality related to the eviction notice. It was a long shot – the relevant case law in our state dated back to 1908! Neither the judge nor the opposing lawyer seemed familiar with it. To my surprise, the argument worked! The judge dismissed the case, giving my client some much-needed breathing room while the landlord prepares a new one. But here's the unexpected twist: the judge, while reviewing my argument, realized the same legal issue applied to a previous eviction case she had just heard that day. Luckily, both parties were still present, so she was able to recall the case and apply the same dismissal ruling! It's always rewarding to win a case for your client, but helping someone else unintentionally was a truly satisfying bonus.

Client Unprepared for Potential Workforce Disruption
I recently advised a client, the CEO of a factory bordering Mexico with a largely undocumented workforce, to conduct an I-9 audit in preparation for potential mass deportations starting January 20th. This recommendation stemmed from the possibility of significant workforce shortages.
However, the client dismissed my concern with a laugh, stating they didn't believe mass deportations would happen and referred to them as "sweeps" – a term often used by critics of the policy.
While I understand the client's optimism, their business seems particularly vulnerable to such a policy. It's important for companies to be prepared for any potential disruptions, even if they seem unlikely.
