This is one of the craziest cases I have ever heard of! Even as a Prose litigator I know better than to file a frivolous lawsuit such as this! The Michigan bar association needs to review the "credentials" of this lawyer who took this case and at minimum sanction the attorney or suspend their license for a period of time.
I wonder if the "Lawyer" is someone who just completed law school and this is their first and only case. She could also be a "friend", relative, or ???? to the client. Regardless, I agree she needs to be evaluated as to the state of her credentials and ethics.
“Lucre” It’s a word every Michigan attorney snickered at when being sworn in because the arcane sounding word isn’t really common in common parlance. It’s better that way because it has a mythical character now that better defines what it is.
When your lawyer sends your response, tell the plaintiff’s lawyer that after you get the suit dismissed, you’re then gonna go after her law license for filling a frivolous suit.
He pretty much said that here. There isn't any value in putting that threat in correspondence. Either he won't, which makes it an empty threat, or he will, in which case the threat didn't do anything useful. It's unlikely that it would have the effect of "Yes, you are right, I'll withdraw the case, apologize, and reimburse you for your time".

The first rule in dealing with a lawsuit brought by someone against you is always respond to the lawsuit in a proper manner as if the lawsuit were a valid one no matter how crazy the lawsuit may be. Judges don't like people ignoring lawsuits and they may rule in favor of the plaintiff if you don't respond.

@Thomas Chrombly my comment is based in experience, not opinion. i can confidently say that none of the lawyers ive known / hired, would do anything unethical or illegal. i understand that lawyers have a bad reputation, whether they deserve it or not, they all get lumped into that stereotype. and you say "my experience is...." it appears that you have experienced some unethical attorneys. thats not an "opinion" that would be an actual physical experience. ive never experienced anything like that.
@Thomas Chrombly yes you stated that in your previous comment, just before you stated that it was "JUST an opinion." to be clear, mine is based on experience only. ; )
Your poor former client, I can’t imagine having something like this creep back up on me. Someone really needs to explain to the plaintiff that their attorney is broken...
In fact, Steve is probably obligated to report her to the state board if he has knowledge of another attorneys that broke regulations. That’s possibly one of the regulations. It would not be retribution, it would be an obligation, LOL! (I’m a licensed surveyor and that’s the way it works for us. No idea how it works for attorneys in Michigan.)
On the other hand, the bar regs may require him to send the lawyer a thank you note. I'd suggest he include " .... and thanks for gifting me with the rich video content!"
Especially if she took money from that guy to file this load of BS. In fact she may even face jail time for going so far off the rails. The only way she can mount an adequate defense of herself is perhaps if she came from another state where these claims would be valid. But they should have to make sure those claims are valid in that state before deciding. Because the seems like the statute of limitations would be over in any state. Also fire that damn process server, I found Steve's address just by Googling his name.
zipping to the end... if you win and get a judgment against them for attorney's fees, etc. , will you have to get the sheriff to confiscate and auction more of his stuff? this might get funny...
but another confiscation and auction will only result in another lawsuit 2025-2026 depending on how long it takes the lawyer to find him it will be a unending cycle till the end of time :P
Keith Babola Unfortunately there’s all sorts of exemptions so you end up getting nothing. I won 12 1/2 law-suits out of 13. I got nothing and I had to pay on the last one even though I was a third-party defendant.....Young girl turned left in front of me (failure to yield to oncoming traffic) I ended up T boning her patents van Which ended up turning over on its side and sliding into a car in the opposing intersection. That car sued me instead of the lady who caused the accident....I was found to be partially at fault which to this day I just can’t believe happened. I had the right of way I was going on my merry way and the young 18-year-old girl in her parents van failed to yield to my right of way thus causing the accident and any results of that accident should have been only ascribed to her....
The problem is that a lawyer who thinks this case is worth taking to court doesn't deserve to be paid. Probably doesn't deserve to be a lawyer either, at least not when it comes to legal issues on that subject.
From what I understand, at the end of a civil case, the prevailing party can request that the losing party pay all attorneys fees. But it's up to the judge to grant the request based on various factors in each specific case.
@@cleetose I am from Canada not the US but this is what I have heard of US law from watching various TH-camrs like Steve. If you are sued in a civil matter and you win you are not awarded court costs, however this was in a video I heard about HOAs. You can only get court cost covered if you counter Sue as far as I'm aware. But if this case is that egregious that like 75% or more of those claims are invalid then you really have to wonder how the lawyer can keep her license. Especially if she's not working on contingency, meaning if she took money from them to file this load of BS she needs to lose her job and repay that money.
The funniest bit about the service is not how close to your office the other attorney's office is. It's that the plaintiff obviously had your address before they started.
Hey, friend Richter, knowing where and how to serve the defendant[s'] copy of the complaint is a necessary step in exercising your First Amendment right to petition for redress of grievances. I learned that back in the previous century in a "Law for the Layman" night course. I had that lesson reinforced a couple of years ago in a "Protest of Election" action against the official in the city where I live who arranged for the Mayor to be re-"elected" via a process where the outcome was certain victory even before the ballots were printed. Judge P. dismissed the case "with prejudice." And he did so not only because I should not be expressing opinions on matters of Law without being a member of the Shysters' Union but because I had only "informally" served the City Clerk's copy of the complaint. Betch'a cant guess why going to the City Clerk's office in person and putting it in their hand was not good enough 😂 !
I am glad your training & intelligence keeps the stress down in you. I feel you are not losing sleep over this. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Clearly a greenhorn.
Yesssss, that's exactly what I said. The attorney knew it would get dismissed/lose. The attorney submitted the complaint/lawsuit anyway so that they could at least collect the money for their services. Sounds like the unethical attorney should get a few bar complaints, and Marv the crook should sue his new attorney for scamming him.
@@gavincrouch that's what I am wondering too. Marv may have a paralegal friend or family member who misrepresented his case to the attorney and drafted the complaint BUT it is still 100% on the attorney to double check the complaint before signing it so she's still a horrible attorney either way.
@@refinnej5302 The fact that it's not double printed and the word "bamboozled" is used, almost has me certain a practicing attorney (unless she is young - in her 20's [they use some colorful language]), would not have typed that out (in most cases administrative staff do that anyway). Well, she will get a surprise when she appears before the judge if she proceeds, unless there is more than meets the eye, we have not seen / heard what the sheriff was allowed to seize, I would like to hear the execution order stipulations (if the order states property of the LLC only and property of the owner and/or his wife was seized, that might be the issue).
@@That38Guy You really think you can judge someones financial state by what they wear daily? I have some very expensive clothes for when I need them for a work function, but other than that, I strive to wear plain t-shirts and sweat shirts and boat shoes and Levis. When I retire, that is all I will ever wear.
This happened to me in my child custody case. My child’s mother had a lawyer put a lawsuit against me and the lawyer didn’t read the past court case. Then when the 5th lawyer realized that she had no case against me, the lawyer laid down her case...Some lawyers will push these BS lawsuits in court.
Crap like this is the reason the whole legal system needs a complete overhaul. Having to spend your own cash just to defend yourself against such total nonsense is an abomination.
😲🙄... Awaiting the next chapter ! ...I'm also hoping to hear what the Judge has to say about this Attorneys education... to say the least. I'm sorry you have to deal with her but at least she's picked on someone who's capable of dealing with her kind. Thank you for bringing us folks in on this ; it's both educational and entertaining !
he also vanished, and despite practicing 10,560 feet from their well known location , were unable to find him. that is why they could not serve him for nearly a decade
Sounds like a 56 page runaround that would basically result in double jeopardy. It took 9 months for them to get around to even bothering to serve process, so clearly she just pocketed his money
j C That’s why we have a Bar association to regulate that. My favorite story from my dad taking the Bar that in the interview, they asked a hypothetical question: “A lawyer parks in a metered spot in front of the courthouse everyday and never pays for the meter. What do you think the punishment for him should be?” Apparently, it wasn’t hypothetical, that happened in Maryland. He was disbarred for being so unethical. If only more lawyers were treated the same way.

I have PTSD with lawyers because after going through a lot of lawyers during a divorce, my lawyer didn’t show up on a final hearing, had a stand in to listen to the opposing team complete with supposedly expert attorney etc, we couldn’t listen to the deliberations because the stand in lawyer left and I had no one beside me, my heart hurt so much, I was crying inside and God knows how much hate I feel for people taking advantage of me…I just want to go to hell and come back with a vengeance, that’s how painful it was…and yes my ex is a physician and had the money…
To be frank, I have never watched this channel, but it popped up in my recommendations... However, I am now weirdly invested in finding out how this ends lol. I've worked at a law firms (IT, not a lawyer) and have seen how cases like this can spiral out of control, against all normal, human logic. Sometimes it seems like the more ridiculous it is, the harder it is to shake. Good luck...

@@missingremote4388 When a person brings his/her car to be serviced at a repair shop, it is expected that the shop is competent and will perform the work according to factory specifications. It is not the customer's responsibility to have expert knowledge in auto repair. For example, when a customer brings his car in for an oil change, the customer can expect the shop to replace the oil filter with the correct model, add the appropriate amount of oil to the crankcase, use the appropriate oil for that particular make and model of car, and tighten the oil plug properly. I would surmise that most Americans have not taken auto shop while in high school. There are some high schools that do not even offer this class.

If I had intended to give advice to Steve Lehto, I would have begun my post with @steve Lehto.
Bamboozled isn’t a legal term, but I’m sure hornswoggled is.
Well, the opposing "attorney" didn't go to the fancy law school you went to ...
Someone swoggled his horn. Well shame on them. And we laughed and laughed and laughed.

An unethical lawyer, jeez I've never heard of that........not.
@Thomas Chrombly every attorney ive ever encountered / retained is ethical.
@Thomas Chrombly my comment is based in experience, not opinion. i can confidently say that none of the lawyers ive known / hired, would do anything unethical or illegal. i understand that lawyers have a bad reputation, whether they deserve it or not, they all get lumped into that stereotype. and you say "my experience is...." it appears that you have experienced some unethical attorneys. thats not an "opinion" that would be an actual physical experience. ive never experienced anything like that.
@Thomas Chrombly yes you stated that in your previous comment, just before you stated that it was "JUST an opinion." to be clear, mine is based on experience only. ; )
@Thomas Chrombly then all authority to you, what % or what should a lawyer make? you brought it up, so you are an expert.
@Thomas Chrombly Only from lawyers!!!😁
Your poor former client, I can’t imagine having something like this creep back up on me. Someone really needs to explain to the plaintiff that their attorney is broken...
“ Your Honour the Plaintiff engaged in frivolous and blatant Bamboozling “ .
You have no choice but to get the plaintiff's attorney disbarred.
In fact, Steve is probably obligated to report her to the state board if he has knowledge of another attorneys that broke regulations. That’s possibly one of the regulations. It would not be retribution, it would be an obligation, LOL!
(I’m a licensed surveyor and that’s the way it works for us. No idea how it works for attorneys in Michigan.)
On the other hand, the bar regs may require him to send the lawyer a thank you note. I'd suggest he include " .... and thanks for gifting me with the rich video content!"
Seems to me she is guilty of fraud for even accepting the case.
Especially if she took money from that guy to file this load of BS. In fact she may even face jail time for going so far off the rails.
The only way she can mount an adequate defense of herself is perhaps if she came from another state where these claims would be valid. But they should have to make sure those claims are valid in that state before deciding. Because the seems like the statute of limitations would be over in any state. Also fire that damn process server, I found Steve's address just by Googling his name.
He's not going to have to report anything after the judge reads this pile of bull
zipping to the end... if you win and get a judgment against them for attorney's fees, etc. , will you have to get the sheriff to confiscate and auction more of his stuff? this might get funny...
Particularly if you have to go after the attorney. They will then have. A better grasp of the law
but another confiscation and auction will only result in another lawsuit 2025-2026 depending on how long it takes the lawyer to find him it will be a unending cycle till the end of time :P
Could be an infinite loop of lawsuits, auctions and bamboozling. Lol

Unfortunately there’s all sorts of exemptions so you end up getting nothing.
I won 12 1/2 law-suits out of 13.
I got nothing and I had to pay on the last one even though I was a third-party defendant.....Young girl turned left in front of me (failure to yield to oncoming traffic) I ended up T boning her patents van Which ended up turning over on its side and sliding into a car in the opposing intersection. That car sued me instead of the lady who caused the accident....I was found to be partially at fault which to this day I just can’t believe happened.
I had the right of way I was going on my merry way and the young 18-year-old girl in her parents van failed to yield to my right of way thus causing the accident and any results of that accident should have been only ascribed to her....
@@Casmige what state? you should appeal
Suing a lawyer seems kinda like feeding a shark by hand, best be really careful, lest you loose that hand.
Lol
This reminds me of that quote by Nic Cage in Lord of War:
"Don't go to war with an arms dealer."

Especially when some of the counts are law said lawyer specializes in.
More like lose an arm and a leg. Why should the shark have to starve on just a bony hand?

Like Monty Python sang, "Every participant is trophied."
I'm sure University of Phoenix spent a lot of time teaching this one.

@@tgwazu well he has at least $100......😀
That auto shop owner must have hired Sidney P. or some other ambulance chaser to file this Jerry Springer lawsuit.
What ever happened to frivolous lawsuits would have to pay all the costs incurred by both sides? or something like that
The problem is that a lawyer who thinks this case is worth taking to court doesn't deserve to be paid. Probably doesn't deserve to be a lawyer either, at least not when it comes to legal issues on that subject.
How much chance the suing lawyer is an alumni of the Gray-Bar Law School?
From what I understand, at the end of a civil case, the prevailing party can request that the losing party pay all attorneys fees. But it's up to the judge to grant the request based on various factors in each specific case.
@@cleetose You may be exactly right. But each state has its own laws. Could be anything ...
@@cleetose I am from Canada not the US but this is what I have heard of US law from watching various TH-camrs like Steve.
If you are sued in a civil matter and you win you are not awarded court costs, however this was in a video I heard about HOAs. You can only get court cost covered if you counter Sue as far as I'm aware.
But if this case is that egregious that like 75% or more of those claims are invalid then you really have to wonder how the lawyer can keep her license. Especially if she's not working on contingency, meaning if she took money from them to file this load of BS she needs to lose her job and repay that money.
Now I'm invested & want to know how this turns out.
Sounds like Steve is being sued for winning a legal case.... Crazy Town, indeed.
Kinda the way the Democrats are trying in impeach Trump for winning the election.
@@slappy8941 hahahahaha! Sooooo TRUE!
@@slappy8941 how did that delusion work out for y'all?
The funniest bit about the service is not how close to your office the other attorney's office is. It's that the plaintiff obviously had your address before they started.
Hey, friend Richter, knowing where and how to serve the defendant[s'] copy of the complaint is a necessary step in exercising your First Amendment right to petition for redress of grievances. I learned that back in the previous century in a "Law for the Layman" night course. I had that lesson reinforced a couple of years ago in a "Protest of Election" action against the official in the city where I live who arranged for the Mayor to be re-"elected" via a process where the outcome was certain victory even before the ballots were printed. Judge P. dismissed the case "with prejudice." And he did so not only because I should not be expressing opinions on matters of Law without being a member of the Shysters' Union but because I had only "informally" served the City Clerk's copy of the complaint. Betch'a cant guess why going to the City Clerk's office in person and putting it in their hand was not good enough 😂 !
I am glad your training & intelligence keeps the stress down in you. I feel you are not losing sleep over this. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Clearly a greenhorn.
Sounds like an attorney that needs money and is willing to milk a client to get it.
Bill Van Raam Well said
Yesssss, that's exactly what I said. The attorney knew it would get dismissed/lose. The attorney submitted the complaint/lawsuit anyway so that they could at least collect the money for their services. Sounds like the unethical attorney should get a few bar complaints, and Marv the crook should sue his new attorney for scamming him.
Right On!! I agree, I'm not sure though if acting this way is " Illegal ", it most certainly is ' Unethical ". The Desperate will do Desperate things!
Very common unfortunately, and bad for that attorney's reputation to represent a lousy case.
"... willing to milk a client to get it."
... and willing to risk her law license?
Fred
My guess is that the "attorney" is a relative that just graduated from law school.
Or the staff (assistant attorney) drafted it and she signed it off without reading it first.
Cooley graduate
Her cousin Vinny? LOL
@@gavincrouch that's what I am wondering too. Marv may have a paralegal friend or family member who misrepresented his case to the attorney and drafted the complaint BUT it is still 100% on the attorney to double check the complaint before signing it so she's still a horrible attorney either way.
@@refinnej5302 The fact that it's not double printed and the word "bamboozled" is used, almost has me certain a practicing attorney (unless she is young - in her 20's [they use some colorful language]), would not have typed that out (in most cases administrative staff do that anyway). Well, she will get a surprise when she appears before the judge if she proceeds, unless there is more than meets the eye, we have not seen / heard what the sheriff was allowed to seize, I would like to hear the execution order stipulations (if the order states property of the LLC only and property of the owner and/or his wife was seized, that might be the issue).
Amazing that the attorney who filed the lawsuit had passed the Boards in Michigan.
You would be amazed at the people that become doctors. And just as amazed at the ones that become public servants.
I bet the plaintiff's attorney is not on a contingency fee.
Was thinking that too
I think she might be. She might be shooting for a settlement from somebody on the suit.

This happened to me in my child custody case. My child’s mother had a lawyer put a lawsuit against me and the lawyer didn’t read the past court case. Then when the 5th lawyer realized that she had no case against me, the lawyer laid down her case...Some lawyers will push these BS lawsuits in court.

I learn a lot from your show Steve, and had a good laugh as well. Thanks for the education!
Classic example of why we need: " loser pays "
I've never heard of you, but this video popped up in my feed so I watched it. You now have a new subscriber. I can't wait to see how things end.
Never underestimate the power of greed! I hope this goes your way and does not cost you a ton of $$$ just to defend yourself.
Crap like this is the reason the whole legal system needs a complete overhaul. Having to spend your own cash just to defend yourself against such total nonsense is an abomination.
😲🙄... Awaiting the next chapter ! ...I'm also hoping to hear what the Judge has to say about this Attorneys education... to say the least. I'm sorry you have to deal with her but at least she's picked on someone who's capable of dealing with her kind. Thank you for bringing us folks in on this ; it's both educational and entertaining !
As well as "bamboozling" did they also allege that Steve hoodwinked, flim flammed, rope a doped and flummoxed them?
Flim Flam was an awesome family diner in Ann Arbor. I’m still sad they closed.
You forgot bum's rushed.

he also vanished, and despite practicing 10,560 feet from their well known location , were unable to find him. that is why they could not serve him for nearly a decade
Don't forget "chicanery".
Better ask for the "Dawg" lawyer guy
That person suing has been stewing in his own misery for 7 years. SAD
Sounds like a 56 page runaround that would basically result in double jeopardy. It took 9 months for them to get around to even bothering to serve process, so clearly she just pocketed his money
An "unethical attorney"
I'm in shock!
Shouldn't attorneys be our pillars of society? The watchdogs protecting us just as much as soldiers?
j C That’s why we have a Bar association to regulate that. My favorite story from my dad taking the Bar that in the interview, they asked a hypothetical question: “A lawyer parks in a metered spot in front of the courthouse everyday and never pays for the meter. What do you think the punishment for him should be?”
Apparently, it wasn’t hypothetical, that happened in Maryland. He was disbarred for being so unethical. If only more lawyers were treated the same way.
No earthly idea why this popped up in recommended for me...but I'm watching now to see what in the world it's all about.
This case is the very definition of a frivolous lawsuit!
Your videos make me think a lot causing me to think enough and finally going down old rabbit holes in my life. Thanks a lot! /S
Sounds like a pretty incredible amount if incompetence on the part of the attorney.
Not incompetence - pure greed instead - I'm sure that attorney accepted a lot of money from her client to generate 56 pages of documents, knowing full well it's nonsense.
@@hmshyperion Competency and motivations are not necessarily linked. People with and without the willingness to do their jobs properly fall into greed.

The video popped up in my time line. The adds played before I ever saw him speak, so I have effectively NOT WATCHED his story. Nor do I care to. I only clicked on it because I thought it was some fool I had a spat with that complained about NOT getting a speeding ticket a while ago and claimed the cop was rude and the ticket was a joke, AFTER the cop let him go with basically a warning when he was unable to provide a current registration. I won't be watching this one.
I have PTSD with lawyers because after going through a lot of lawyers during a divorce, my lawyer didn’t show up on a final hearing, had a stand in to listen to the opposing team complete with supposedly expert attorney etc, we couldn’t listen to the deliberations because the stand in lawyer left and I had no one beside me, my heart hurt so much, I was crying inside and God knows how much hate I feel for people taking advantage of me…I just want to go to hell and come back with a vengeance, that’s how painful it was…and yes my ex is a physician and had the money…
This explains exactly how those wheels where not installed properly. They're people are living in an alternate universe.
To be frank, I have never watched this channel, but it popped up in my recommendations...
However, I am now weirdly invested in finding out how this ends lol.
I've worked at a law firms (IT, not a lawyer) and have seen how cases like this can spiral out of control, against all normal, human logic. Sometimes it seems like the more ridiculous it is, the harder it is to shake. Good luck...
Talk about “coming to court with clean hands.” There’s always that lawyer who will tell a client anything they want to hear, as long as that $$$ is paid up front.

I can’t wait to hear how this turns out . I’m guessing the lawyer filing this ends up with some sort of reprimand

got a couple miles down the road and the front passenger side popped right off. Good thing he was slowing to a stop at the time.

I think they were embarrassed by the whole thing.
Tighten your own lugnuts and re tighten them again.

I don't do all my car repairs. Checking the lug nuts ASAP afterwards is something that I always do.
@@missingremote4388 When a person brings his/her car to be serviced at a repair shop, it is expected that the shop is competent and will perform the work according to factory specifications. It is not the customer's responsibility to have expert knowledge in auto repair.
For example, when a customer brings his car in for an oil change, the customer can expect the shop to replace the oil filter with the correct model, add the appropriate amount of oil to the crankcase, use the appropriate oil for that particular make and model of car, and tighten the oil plug properly.
I would surmise that most Americans have not taken auto shop while in high school. There are some high schools that do not even offer this class.
