My husband was listening to this as I happened into the room and only caught the last 10-15 minutes. I was mesmerized because we are going through some lawsuits now. Yes more than one, with the same person. Thank you for putting this on here. I will definitely be watching your others to see what I can glean from them.
Thank you for explaining your style. I agree that the introduction “old school style is old!” l guess l assumed it was proper as pro se. I really like the way you write persuasive sentences and get to the point. It makes the case immediately more relatable and understandable.
HOW IS YOUR CASE GOING? I got stuck, pro se, after discovery, now shooting for a summary judgement on causation. My only leg up is that I am a nurse (was) and am able to try the medical facts effectively. (Power of positive thinking). Wish you the best.
This was great! I’m not a lawyer so everything was very informative. It seems as though you’ve taken a lot of time to review your old writings and understand how you can improve your writing. Thanks for including the things that you’ve done different from past to present and why. Good stuff! Thank you. 🙏🏽
Thank you for being so detailed, you truly helped me understand exactly how I show should draft my motion as professionally and impactful as a Pro Se Litigant.
Sir, you are terrific. I'm pro se, in of all things, a probate litigation case. Thank you for the insight, the style, and for being a dog lover. Your neighbor in South Carolina thanks you.
first time watching your vedios, and I can confirm that I am like 50% perfect than where I was Yesterday. Thanks be blessed I am trying to fight for my case as pro se, because the law firms involved decidedvto defraud my discrination case. Taking advantage of my level of education, nation of origin and language bsrrier
Thank you Mike. My father had a PH.D. In Jurisprudence and a Masters in English. Wish you could have heard his eloquent way of expressing the above in briefs, motions and at Trial.
totally agree that motions, in fact next to all submissions, should be written from the point of view of the substance and merits of YOUR case, not the opponent's. otherwise, like in sports, you're playing according to the playbook and rhythm of the other team. and also you might inadvertently entirely neglect important points in your favor. that includes using your own terminology, avoiding labels and subtle biases e.g. through specific wordings and implied meanings of the other side. it's also important to avoid inadvertently conceding facts and circumstances at the basis of the opponent's arguments, by only superficially focusing on the arguments, if those arguments are actually overtly or implicitly based on flawed foundations. motions are also, particularly when the case may not be going so well for whatever reason, very important for the appeals stage. motions reasonably not granted could be grounds for appeals, particularly when it's evident that new relevant aspects/materials or arguments are prevented from being introduced into the case.
I'm not a lawyer but thought it was extremely well formated formulated also I agree about "old English" style is just out dated. Proper and persuasive , nice presentation
Excellent analysis. I'm Jeff Cook from 5:18-cv-01436-KK April 2022 Jeff Cook (Pro Se) v San Bernardino sheriff. I sued the sheriff for 4th Amendment violations and had a great filing attorney for the first two years. The SBDA, of course, tried to drag the case out as long as possible, it happened in 2017! If I had filed motions for everything that the DA did that was illegal, the case would never have come to trial. I had a Pretrial determination that specific dash cams from two sheriff vehicles were admissible, but the DA never provided those recordings.
Damn. I just read your amended complaint. I'm so sorry that you never got compensated for your horrible mistreatment all because they wouldn't turn over the dash cam recordings.
Sue the sheriffs start by sending them cease and desist/demand letter. Sue the actual man or woman in charge of releasing the footage. File a FOIA request.
ChatGPT is very good at drafting motions, but you have to know how it should be done. ChatGPT is very literal and will not provide any more than you ask for.
good info, I had a head injury at a major event in Orlando Florida on commercial premises in a building soon to be torn, and I was introduced to how poor the communication, confusion and incompetent attorneys are when a case is not cut and dry. particularly premises liability. I do not trust lawyers; licensed liars.
Most of the ones I've ran into so far (at least in these parts) are either fairly incompetent or just sheer lazy. The more I see, the more I realize that I've placed FAR too much faith in the skill and degree of competency of your average attorney...most of the ones I've seen haven't even read the damn starutes! They say "all the world's a stage" and nowhere is that more true than in your local courthouse. Its been like looking behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz...
Thank you for this precise information. I am currently helping my adult son, who has ADHD & PTSD, with his California criminal case as his PD had badly botched his case during pre-trial but not objecting to heresy testimony. His trial date is Feb 2, 2024, I want to learn what we can do to suppress this testimony in an ongoing 3 year case resulting from a false arrest during a simple 'health check'. If you can help please let me know. Thank you kindly.
My father always said. I give the other person the benefit of the doubt, kings credibility. But if I find that they are lying to me I throw the book at them. And , if they show no remorse I throw the book even harder!
Hello Mr Rafi. I am currently a law student and I am also representing myself in a small civil matter. I found your videos several months ago before starting school, and I find the way you explain persuasive writing to be extremely helpful as far as getting your needs out on paper and avoiding the gatekeeping I see often in court documents. This video is my go-to when I am stuck and need to refresh exactly how to put everything together. You mentioned a "cheat sheet" regarding margins and style. Is that available somewhere? Also, is there a sample motion (whether it be one from this video, some other motion, or a fake one,) that I can download somewhere so I can look at it more closely? Thanks again for creating this! I am still struggling a bit when i have multiple motions/requests for one document on how best to structure, but I think I am getting the hang of it.
I am in a DUI case where I am forced to defend myself. The cops didn't give me a sobriety test or breathalyzer but did take me in to get my blood. They know I am not capable of doing this and are making it impossible for me to get anything filed into the case. They keep rejecting my motions and any request through file and serve. I am almost 4 hours away and have driven that one time and 7 hours another time to find the case was continued. I have mailed the request to attend remotely and they said the request wasn't filled out properly or at all? Please tell me how to help myself? The documents they are using make me look guilty but the blood they took couldn't be mine. It was a cops sister who called the cops and had me arrested in my driveway. There was a medication issue. Do you have any suggestions on how I can get them to help me get the blood retested to make sure it is mine? I am sure it is not mine.
you want a case , i man have been evicted but in my possession still i have the raised seal land grant to i man , also have lived and maintained the property from 2002-2022 , something you wanna help with ? thanks in advance
If you felt that you didn’t want to put more of your time into a case but the plaintiff was willing to do the work himself would you still help him try not to reach his best settlement
Only a fool has himself for a client, spoken by a lawyer and politician, both well known to be the very defintion of 'LIARS'. Yet our propagandist overlord refer to him as "Honest Abe', bullshit.
💯. ALL of the licensed /unbiased attorneys and judges who mentored me explained that only crooks say that because legitimate attorneys appreciate pro se litigators because we help keep the courts honest by stopping corruption and it's not enough attorneys for the amount of people needing to litigate so pro se litigation is required.🥴🍀👩🏾⚖️
I think sharing your experience as a practicing attorney is valuable for real court situation. However, I’m wondering who really is your intended audience? Is that your goal to educate self-represented individuals in courts? Or you are educating potential client to learn the intricate process that you need to go through in filing a motion? You see, based on my own so called pro se cases I was pursuing two separate cases all the way to the Supreme Court, I’ve learned how attorneys view self-represented individuals as intolerable. Therefore listening to your presentation makes me curious from what angle you are making this educational presentation. As you can see from most of the comments, most of them appear to be pro se people. I wonder, honestly, if deep down you are happy in attracting wrong audience for your presentation?!😂
Motions can be struck down! Try (Affidavit) because, if it is not rebutted, then it stands as law! But be in your proper person. ALL CAPS NAME is not the way to spell; ALL CAPS is improper English.

Are you talking about motions written by the trade organization fraternity brothers(BAR) or the second class citizens of American not part of the private trade organization that the Judge will highly prejudice to the point of breaking numerous court rules.?

The outcome may vary based on the lawyer you ask. Additionally, you might encounter a traditional judge accustomed to that approach.
