Da HEaRIng!

Filed Under Daily

I experienced the scariest 48 hours for as long as I could remember. It was a mess in my brain. I had to provock the same emotions of sympathy from the judges like I did with the bank. There comes the trial, they called my name and the other lawyer to the bar:

The lawyer: I only received the conclusions in May therefore I request more time to respond. I called Mr XXX lawyer and she said there was no problem but in only 48 hours, Mr XXX decided to defend himself.

Me: Madam the judge, I have been waiting for a year and 6 months for this trial. I was harassed for a year. How long do you want me to wait for? This lawyer is trying to gain time and I refuse to play his game or the game played by all lawyers. This is my life and I am ready to defend myself now, all the evidences are written and straightforward. There is no technicality in my defense. Please understand my situation!

The magic worked AGAIN!

One judge asked if I have a job now and I said no. All four judges asked for a suspension of the session and the main judge asked me my conclusion and my files. They all left the room just to talk about my case.

10 long minutes later.

The main judge: we will postpone your case but we will make it short. The next hearing is set for November 9! Please translate some of your documents or they won’t be taken into account!

I was very proud of myself. I had some smiles from other lawyers. They all knew I was quite good and that was unusual.

Only four months for a deferral of the trial instead of a year!
