I’m Gonna Sue You Bro: What You Should Know Before You File a Lawsuit

Four score and seven moons ago (which, if my math is correct, translates to roughly “some time ago”) I brought forth on this blog a new post, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that you could take certain precautionary steps to lessen the risk of a lawsuit being filed against your business. If…

The Bankruptcy Preference: Do Nothing Wrong. Get Sued Anyway.

What if I told you that a magical world exists where giant blue creatures live in harmony with their planet but are forced to fight off an invading human force seeking out the planet’s ‘unobtanium’ (seriously, someone in Hollywood was paid to come up with that)? You’d say Avatar must have been running on cable last week…

Introducing DeSouza Law, P.A. (hey that’s me!)

For those of you wondering where I’ve been the past 5 months, I’d like to say I was wrestling helpless children away from the clutches of monstrous crocodiles (or was that wrestling small children who were watching monstrous crocodiles…), but alas that didn’t happen (it was sharks, not crocodiles). The public deserves humorous litigation tips…

Hell Hath no Fury Like a Defendant (With Access to the Internet) Scorned

When I was a wee lad growing up as a chimney sweep on the mean streets of London – wait, that’s my Mary Poppins story (ask me about it after a few glasses of scotch). When I was a wee lad and just beginning my journey to the dark side of the Force law school,…

I Have Had it With These [CENSORED] Employees on This [CENSORED] Plane!!

Snakes and planes and employees and lawsuits… oh my! If you are responsible for a business that consists of more than just yourself (and seriously, if it’s just you, how do you have time to read this article?), then the vast legal and level-headed wisdom of Samuel L. Jackson (not to be confused with Laurence…

To Win or Not to Win… That is the Question (that I don’t have an answer to)

2014 New Year’s Resolutions: (1) blog more; (2) yell fewer profanities at people on the drive to/from work; and (3) through steady diet and exercise, obtain a Matthew McConaughey-esque physique by June so that I may finally implement my lifelong dream of Shirtless Fridays© (coming soon to an office environment near you). While I can’t promise…

Don’t Sue Me Bro: Three Steps to Guarantee a Litigation Free Future

Have you ever yearned for a way to make lawsuits a thing of the past? Have you ever thought to yourself – “gee, I wish some brave attorney would help me a avoid a lawsuit instead of just taking all my money to represent me in one”? Well, you’re in luck, because today only and…

Victory at All Costs (until we’ve bankrupted you, at least)

What is best in life? I suppose it depends on who you’re asking… Ask a client embroiled in litigation, and the answer might be: “to win this lawsuit as quickly and efficiently (cheaply) as possible.” Penis enlargement treatment centres in India are there but these centres are also for every sexual problem not any specific lowest…

Common Sense Alert: DON’T PRESS SEND

When I was but a young peasant growing up in 18th Century France (Vive la révolution!), my good friend and colleague Voltaire (whose too-cool-for-a-last-name attitude inspired both Madonna and Prince) imparted upon me some words of wisdom that ring as true today as they did on those plague-infested streets: “Common sense is not so common.”…

You Got to Know When to [Legal] Hold Em

Talk about being ahead of his time. Most of us thought Kenny Rogers was just an average, run-of-the-mill singer, songwriter, actor, photographer, producer, writer, and member of the Country Music Hall of Fame. In other words – boring. But now, thanks to my diligent efforts, a secret that has been kept for 35 years will…
