There is a lot we can talk about Googasian P.C., but the recent post on http://www.deangoogasian.com by Robert Green is worth mentioning here. Googasian pretends to be a champion of class-action cases but according to Robert Green Googasian P.C., has nothing to do with such cases. As we know Robert Green is one of the most prominent class-action practitioners and his email in response to the recent post on www.deangoogasian.com with a title “Why Students have decided to stay away from the Belford lawsuit” is an eye opener for Googasain P.C.
Basically Mr. Green says that class action lawsuits are seldom successful and professional class action lawyers never engage in the kind of activity that Googasian gets himself into. He’s been starting lawsuits like the ones against Belford and Computer Training Institute because class action is not his area of practice and he can afford to put that side of career at risk. Basically, it doesn’t matter to him whether he wins or loses, and he doesn’t care about the loses of his clientele either. Otherwise he wouldn’t embark on such pointless pursuits as the case against Belford
Robert Green highlights the Googasian malevolence with the following words:
“I wanted to write to you about this group of jokers the Googasian P.C. ever since you started this blog. I was approached by one of his former clients through an acquaintance of mine about three years ago. Googasian had filed a case against the Court Reporting School back then; this was his first foray into class action. Yup that’s true, contrary to what you’ve been specifying on this blog, Googasian isn’t really a class action veteran. His expertise is in other areas of law, class actions are uncharted territory for him, for the most part.”
So, Googasian and his associates don’t have any expertise in class action. Robert Green further says, “See, class action is dirty business. You get your hands in the muck and most times you come out with nothing but dry dirt. Most class action lawsuit never go to trial. If they even take off, the chances of success are minimal. Minimal. Juries can usually distinguish between respect for law, and greed for money and that’s where the cases usually fall apart. So, with the cards stacked against “the people” so monumentally, what is it that even makes the practice of class action lawsuit a viable career? I’ll give you three words. “Damage to reputation”.”
“I am writing this email, because having a reputation as one of the legal granddaddies in the area of class actions, I feel Googasian is a novice infringing on some sacred territory unwashed. Class action has got much bad reputation over the last few years because of opportunists like Googasian. I want to make sure that that has been registered and I want to warn people to stay away from charlatans like him. Thanks for your blog.”
Googasian is causing real humiliation for all legal firms. Robert Green, on the other hand, has the kind of status and reputation that cannot be doubted – particularly about class-actions. Therefore his views can’t be overlooked.
If you want to know why none of the people from the Belford student body have opted to join in the cause of Googasian and his fools, just do a quick search on class actions. Here’s what Wikipedia has to say for instance.
“The preamble to the Class Action Fairness Act stated that… class actions harmed class members with legitimate claims and… undermined public respect for the country’s judicial system.”
This is no coincidence. Imagine the stereotypical conception of the legal shark; the person who’d come to your mind would be an ambulance chaser; a class action specialist so to speak. Class actions have earned a tarnished reputation simply because of the way some in the legal profession have been able to manipulate the law to extort money out of unsuspecting defendants as well as naïve clients.
Don’t get me wrong. Class actions are a very significant tool and have been used extensively by well intentioned lawyers to curb in corporate malpractice, but it’s also a tool, that owing to its nature lends itself rather well to abuse.
Lawyers who don’t have the qualification to earn themselves respectable positions in avenues of traditional practice find it really easy to start a civil action practice of their own. All it takes is a cheap office in an urban neighborhood with lots of less educated, malleable individuals walking around and an eagerness to make money off of other people’s loss.
We’ve discussed cases of exemplary abuses of class action earlier on this blog as well. Simply put, class action lawyers, although in many cases do not charge their clients up front, expose their clients to significant risks of legal recourse, financial harm and potential imprisonment. If case a class action lawsuit is dismissed, the defendant has the right to countersue. This makes a class action a highly risky venture for the claimants.
No wonder no one from the generally smart Belford alumni community is willing to join Googasian’s fool’s mission.
This is turning out to be a good case-study that would come in handy later. Unable to serve a written notice to Belford, Googasian finally got the permission from court to go ahead with an email, fax or even a chat conversation to serve the notice. The Michigan court must’ve recognized this as an isolated case and Googasian must’ve worked really hard to get to this point, because usually the courts are able to predict the likely outcome in such circumstances.
