From Difficult To Impossible: The Problem With High profile Clients
It was a typical day for David as he walked to his favorite coffee shop to get a latte and pastry. David was a Cincinnati criminal defense attorney pursuing his dream of becoming a legal legend. David was three years out of law school and already he was making a name for himself. He bought a nice home, a nice BMW, good clothes, a pleasure boat and a country club membership. He was getting the high end white collar criminal cases. David knew his future was bright with better things to come. He never dreamed he would need Cincinnati Credit Repair to fix his finances or a public relations firm to fix his reputation.
David took a client that would cost him more then he could imagine. There was a contractor and developer creating residentitual properties throughout the region. What the contractor wasn’t doing was paying his bills. He was also taking money that was supposed to be in escrow and using it to pay off vendors and live lavishly. He was able to stay ahead of the game while the market was hot. The developer had managed to convert his business into a ponzi scheme. When the market got cold, the plan collapsed. Hundreds of people lost their homes. The builder came under fire and, aware of his offenses, prepared for bankruptcy. His first task was to purchase a mansion in Florida since the home could not be taken under Florida’s bankruptcy laws.
When word got out that this man had bought a home safe from creditors while hundreds of people watched their house fall victim to liens and foreclosure the the businessman became the profile of evil, greed and avarice. David, the builder’s lawyer became the public symbol of this man. The publicity was so negative that David needed protection coming into the court room. There were restaurants he could no longer go to since the owner lost a house or knew someone who did. His own personal life became a target under the media assault as he began to drink a heavily every night.
Over the next of several months while getting ready for trial, David began to feel the pain of all the victims he deposed. Hundreds of families told their tales of being cheated out of their homes. David began to consume alchohol during lunch and never faced the contractor without a stiff drink first. The work was piling up and David felt hopless. He forgot about his bills and expenses and started missing payments. When the clients cash reserves where low he traded service for property deeds that were fraudulent.
Dave lost nearly everything and his reputation was ruined. After he lost the case and the builder went to jail, Dave began the long hard work of rebuilding his reputation. When the loans secured by the fraudulent property deeds became due, Dave felt his financial world collapsed. Dave began rebuilding his credit and had to move his practice to a city in Florida where no one knew his name.
