LITTLE MAN SYNDROME= That's Joel Thurston!
Wow, where to begin! I had the pleasure of being in a court room with him, and he was not hired by me but yes was representing a client that brought false accusations to that had to end up in the courts. He claims to be a man of religion, but the first thing he pointed out was my sexual orientation. (Had nothing to do with the case) Very ant LGBT was easily established from his words and actions during this time. The things he brought to court where truly hilarious! The things he said about me were just down hateful, I could't believe someone who does not know you and took another ones opinion, and labeled me, and he's an attorney. I was shown a copy of his bill for his client, and wow! Talk about padded. During the hearing he was called up many times by the judge due to behavior. After this whole situation, I had my legal representative continue things, and he wrote my attorney an letter that the physical harm he will do to me if I continue the case. I had to get a police report on him because the the treat of harm. I also called the AZ Bar Ass. and they opened up a report and investigated the matter and reviewed it closely. Both the letter he wrote,police report number and the case number assigned to the Bar Ass. review can found by public notice. After he say a review I did, he cut and pasted it onto his personal FB page, 'asking friends and neighbors to help him understand why someone would write this' Professional? After that he sent me multiple FB messages threatening harm, and use of his legal power to do something to me. Talk about misuse of power? It seems like he tried to make it in life as a religious leader, but went to law school probably online, to make money. But for him to post a review on his personal FB? So professional. O and if you write a good review about him, he will put you into a drawing for a free apple watch or something. Reach out to me if you want to get the police report number and the AZ Bar Ass. number assigned.
HERE IS MY ATTORNEYS RESPONSE TO THE COURT ABOUT Joel Thurston:
Contrary to the Plaintiff's counsel's characterization of the hearing, the defendant did 8 not waste the Court's and Plaintiffs time by presenting "no defense" and by "indicating he 9 would be testifying in his own defense for 20-30 minutes after the Court's lunch recess, but
10 then put on absolutely no defense." In fact, it was the Plaintiff's attorney who wasted hours of the Court's time by eliciting testimony and presenting exhibits about allegations, such as real 12 estate inquiries, that were not found to be credible by the Court nor did they factor into the 13 Court's decision in upholding the injunction. As noted above, this Court relied on only 3
14 emails with offensive language in upholding the injunction and rejected the rest of the 15 allegations. The Plaintiffs attorney admitted 16 separate exhibits totaling approximately 80 16 pages. Given only 3 emails were credible and relevant, it was the Plaintiff's attorney who 17 wasted the Court's time.
Furthermore, any argument that the defense misled the court by taking a lunch break is
19 absurd. A quick review of the record will show that the defense never made a claim before 20 lunch that the defendant would testify for 20-30 as the Plaintiffs application erroneously
21 argues. What actually happened is that the Plaintiffs attorney wasted the Court's time by 22 presenting dozens of unnecessary and irrelevant documents and rested it's case minutes before
23 the lunch hour. The defense needed time to discuss with the defendant whether he chose to 24 present a case based upon the evidence presented by the Plaintiff during the previous several
25 hours. Given how close to the lunch hour the parties were, that decision was better left to be 1 made over the lunch hour. Over lunch, the defense chose a strategy to simply argue the burden 2 in the case based upon the plaintiff's presentation and lack of credible evidence. Such is the 3 natural course of a hearing, not a waste of time. read more
