Lawyer Attacked for Pin Honoring Son's KIA Status
law.com — Mr. Smith: What's the little pin on your shirt mean? What's that little pin mean? Mr. Marshall: It means I had a son that was killed in action serving his country. Mr. Smith: So that gives you the right to browbeat my client? Mr. Marshall: No. It has nothing to do with this deposition.

"The Court finds and concludes that the motion was substantially frivolous, substantially groundless, and substantially vexatious, and therefore lacked substantial justification," Sweat wrote of Smith's motion. - ssn697, on 07/04/2008, -0/+6"At the hearing, Mr. Marshall characterized his response in directing Mr. Smith to leave his office as not the most professional thing to do. Given Mr. Smith's ignominious conduct, Mr. Marshall's response seemed restrained."
I doubt I could have showed that much restraint. I like the very end of the story as well. The judge took it upon himself to send his decision to just about every court, and the state bar. Now everyone knows what an ***** Mr. Smith is! - jonolan, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Forget the rebuke! Try the mis-born anti-American puke for treason! And no, that's not hyperbole. This is just vile and it's far past time that stern measures were undertaken to curb such traitorous sentiments.
- eleete, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2This story is unbelievable, how vile and disrespectful that Smith is. What arrogance to talk to someone like that, and the terrible part is, he is probably a good attorney (many are like that, not all but many) . But his words, questions and attitudes displayed in clear text are just deplorable. A disgusting man to keep bringing up the sons death til it blew up to this. I'm sure he will hear about this from those that enjoy the freedoms Mr Marshalls son sacrificed for.
- Volatile, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2"The Witness: Well, I'm proud of your son dying for me."
That made me gag. How disrespectful could you possibly be?
As for Mr. Smith, I hope he enjoys his new reputation of douchebaggery.
