Is there anything related to this stock that hasn't been screwed up?



Nope, not one thing I can think of. Before Hodges filed his spurious lawsuit, he checked with 3 people first. Marco, accadacca and Urban. That was the first clue that Hodges' lawsuit was baseless and all about Hodges using the shareholder base to put The Supreme Court under his credentials on his website.

Along with this plaque he used as an award he received on his website..

You’ve Been Named a Top Lawyer!
FEBRUARY 3, 2014

Lawyers nationwide have touted their recognition by The Legal Network® on their websites and in press releases, and like me, many ordered and are proudly displaying one of those flashy plaques that says they are top lawyers in their state recognized for having the highest ethical standards and professionalism.

There’s just one problem. I’m not a lawyer.

I didn’t even think about taking the LSAT.


I did take the plaque trumpeting my accomplishment to a marketing committee meeting at one of my clients last week. I knew it would impress them. A name partner who is a past president of a national bar association walked into the meeting and upon being shown my plaque said: “Congratulation on a wonderful award, Bobby. You saved about $200,000 in tuition.”

Seriously, my worry is the industry that rankings and plaques like this have become. I am concerned about the ability of questionable rankings and plaques displayed in law offices and promoted through news releases and in lawyer bios to mislead. It’s a concern many of my clients share. The problem is we live in age of reviews— and survey after survey shows even sophisticated buyers of legal services, including general counsel, use ratings in vetting lawyers.

However, if the offer comes from the “global” anything we think it’s suspect around here. And don’t let the name tug at your amygdala either. Benchmark Litigation® sounds great, but one of my lawyer clients was named his state’s top litigator by this publication. The problem is he’s a real estate lawyer and has been in court just once since 1980, for a traffic ticket he was issued. He was good on his feet that day, he said, and got his citation reduced by couple of points. Somehow I don’t think his appearance was the basis of the “rigorous” research that Benchmark claims leads to recognition.
