Some Lawyers Know Dirty Words and Use Them in Voicemail, Apparently Aren't Aware of the Internet...

(I got this link from obscurestore, clipped the entire post from kinsellalaw.com)

I popped in the links to the offending voicemails, the second one is especially funny for how angry the guy builds up to through the message he leaves, man, take a Valium.


KinsellaLaw: "Friday, August 20, 2004

Professional Courtesy: According to the attorney who sent it to me: this was a voicemail message 'that an associate at Winston & Strawn left for an associate at Latham. Latham is representing a borrower in a real estate transaction and W&S represents the lender. I don't know what correspondence preceded the voicemail but as I understand it, W&S asked Latham to make some cosmetic changes to mortgages a day before closing and Latham responded by email that they thought the changes were unnecessary. The response from W&S is pretty unbelievable--a pretty abusive voicemail. This is soon to be part of law firm urban legend along with that summer associate from Skadden [I earlier guessed--wrongly--that they meant here Tucker Max's story, The true story behind 'The Now Infamous Tucker Max Charity Auction Debacle' email --SK]--it's already making it's way around the email circuit. Enjoy!'

And along those lines, an oldie but a goodie: Voicemail message, with increasingly frustrated obscenities, purportedly left by trademark applicant/appellant with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB); resulting Final Order concerning disclipinary action of the attorney (linked here)."
