Not to be outdone by their biglaw cockroach infested basement counterparts, NYC small law has been busy inflicting their own brand of torture on the working masses.
First, we learned about the partner who threw a heavy bound legal volume across an office, bloodying an associate's head.
Then, we read about how an Rappaport & Hertz partner allegedly placed semen on an associate's phone. http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1124269512308/
Now, to top it all off, we have a report that a Bivona & Cohen partner allegedly raped a secretary. http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1209047608835/ The partner claims, however, that the secretary had merely given him a consensual "lap dance" in his office.
Other opinions of working at Bivona from the blogosphere:
"If you like being verbally abused, working endless hours, dealing with psychodramas, never working on the same file twice, being told that you are worthless and replaceable, being criticized for winning a summary judgment motion because it ends the billing on a file, and generally wishing every day that a huge asteroid would hit New York and end your misery in a cataclysmic holocaust, then this is the job for you."
"I recall one former associate who was really a kind-hearted and hard-working guy but who was painfully unassertive. JVF would just berate the poor guy and make his life living hell. Then there was another associate who was so terrified that he reportedly began vomiting blood out of fear. Yet another associate had such a bad experience that she left law altogether and moved to Hawaii. I just walked out one day when I'd had enough and didn't even have the next job lined up. About four weeks later I was working in my next ID dump."

Welcome to NYC small law, or as some would call it, low-paying animal kingdom.

According to the complaint, Richards, 37, knew Figliolo had a drinking problem and decided to "exploit his vulnerability" in the Nov. 17 incident.
"Knowing that he would be receptive to the proposal of a 'lap dance,' Richards offered to perform a 'lap dance' on Figliolo while he sat at his desk," the complaint states. "As she performed the 'lap dance,' Figliolo became aroused and ejaculated inside his underwear while he was wearing his underwear and pants, using a towel to clean up."
I wonder if they were billing for this?
I am tired of reviewing documents regarding products that kill people. I am tired of the greed, debauchery, and downright nastiness and misery that exists in this profession. Excuse me while I go to church and douse myself in holy water.
Some wild times, the lords of shitlaw getting lap dances at their desks. He might have to pay a hefty tip for services rendered.
Lap dances? Where's the Spitz?
Lap dances? Where's the Spitz?

Fuck the law schools. Most of these TTT diploma mills exist only to make profits for their universities.
Fuck the ABA for being stupid enough not to reign in the proliferation of these institutions.
Joe "Figs" as his buddies calls him is a racist too. He calls people the N-bomb and tells racist jokes.
