A grandfather’s granddaughter kicked in his door on Easter Sunday. She stole his jewelry, his coins, and his cash – all to buy methadone to kick her heroin addiction. Then she countersued him for emotional distress because she didn’t want to be scared of her own wife. The judge had heard it all before. Drug…
A pristine three-year-old vacation home on the Jersey Shore. A lease requiring tenants to be 25 or older. A group of young renters who claimed they were “mature” – then threw parties, punched holes in walls, let a pug chew the furniture, and left behind marijuana resin on the coffee table. The landlords asked for…
I sat on the edge of the velvet sofa, hands folded in my lap like a servant waiting for dismissal. The rain lashed against the floor-to-ceiling windows of our Fairmont penthouse, but the silence inside was louder than any storm. Thomas Sterling paced the white marble floor, his Italian leather shoes clicking with the rhythm…
She keyed his car. She flattened his tires. She threatened his family with a knife while five months pregnant. Then she sued him for damages to her own Mercedes after his family mobbed her at a motorcycle club on Halloween night. He countersued for a car payment and a down payment – after she cut…

“Miss Kelly, please, I beg you. I did not spill the wine on purpose. The tray slipped on the polished floor. Your father knows how careful I am. I have worked here for eight months without a single incident.” Nixie Sotero’s voice cracked, but she did not cry. She had learned long ago that tears…
A controlling boyfriend who wished death on his girlfriend’s dying grandmother. A cell phone plan under the sister’s name. A money order that got lost in a new car. And a plaintiff who couldn’t keep her own months straight in front of a judge. This is the story of Desiree, Ruben, and Myra – three…
“Excuse me, sir. Is this position still open?” The receptionist barely glanced up. “Yeah, just drop your resume in the box up front. But fair warning, miss, this ain’t no easy gig. The boss here is a workaholic. A real tyrant. He’ll run you into the ground if he hires you. We’ve had three secretaries…
