Jay Z employed the Donald Trump method of garnering support lol exploit the public’s ignorance, confuse them about the legal practices they don’t know or understand so that you sound right.

Question, can a lawyer attempt to settle a civil suit with an accused party directly without public knowledge? I always assumed this was kind of allowed 🤷🏾♀️
Yep! Very common! I’d go further and say as a defense counsel, I’d prefer a demand letter an attempt to resolve prior to filing a public action. I always tell my clients it’s worth at-least a discussion.
Assault, as we know, is also often hard to prove. From a factual standpoint there have been times my client would win and we’ve settled simply to avoid public action. That’s not say they couldn’t have done it or were “extorted.” Extorted is crazy lol
I’ve been engaging in pre-suit settlement for a civil sex assault case involving a minor. The facts are not on her side but my client has no interest in a public action and I’m not trying to put a 5 yr old on the stand at trial. You negotiate down based on the lack of evidence. My client saves costs
This breakdown makes sooo much sense and is incredibly helpful! Thank you so much. Always great to hear from actual subject matter experts doing the work and not simply opinionated people
