Discovery Meet and Confer Process Crash Course with Attorney Steve®

[@nvanphoto5929]

I'm pro se in PA and the defendants sandbagged me and our met and confer was via email from the beginning. They dropped 1500 unmarked emails n txts the night before discovery closed after 5.30 pm. Dirty pool. thank's Steve for your content.

Happens all the time. Motion to compel is the best way to fight back. Document everything. SV

A physical meeting requirement honestly sounds hilarious to me. 🤣 From my experience up here in Oregon, a lot of attorneys are notoriously difficult to get a hold of over the phone to satisfy conferral requirements. A physical meeting at an office sounds like an absolute nightmare, especially in the age of work from home, where a lot of attorneys are popping into the office on an infrequent basis to meet a client once or twice a month. Stalking the halls of the courthouse and looking for opposing counsel there may be the only way to satisfy the conferral requirement in Orange country unless you are able to have the conferral requirement waived for cause. 😂😂😂😂

Document everything. Learn what the parameters are and FIGHT for what you want. Parties have the right to discovery and if the opposing party is playing the fool, follow the process, document your efforts, and hopefully your judge gets it. SV

I have a meet and confer. The defendants are a local vet who rehomed my dog with the person who found him. The vet nor the finder notified Animal control. The last time I spoke to their atty, he offered me a million dollars to go away. I told him I'd take 2 million and my dog. Any advice???

I would never waive my rights

In Tennessee, Pro Se's get stonwalled until they file a Motion to Compel...even then it's an uphill battle to get ANY respect from opposing party attorneys.

[@attorneysteve]

Its not just you. Attorneys stonewall other attorneys. Some say they do it to add to their billable hours. No comment from me.
