Chapter 426: Sue You for Bankruptcy
There is no doubt that the law in the United States is biased in favor of the rich, to be precise, only the rich can afford to fight a lawsuit, even a middle-class person with an annual income of more than $100,000 cannot afford a marathon trial that can easily last for a year or two, and the intermittent will seriously affect work and life, and there are not a few people who have ruined their families for this reason.

Of course, as a beacon country that claims to be the most liberal democracy in the world, the US judiciary will give those who cannot afford the high legal fees to hire a lawyer for free with taxpayers' money, and the procedure is very simple, just fill out an application form.
But it's level......
Well, although it can't be said to be rotten at home, it's not too much.
There are usually only two kinds of lawyers who are willing to use government subsidies to help the poor fight lawsuits, one is a rookie who has just debuted and does not have much experience or has low ability, and completely uses the client as a guinea pig and slowly familiarizes himself with the entire judicial system.
Expecting them to win the lawsuit is better than expecting the sow to go up the tree, at least the probability of the latter happening is definitely dozens of times higher than the former.
As for the second type, there are those lawyers who have some ability, but they are not yet famous enough, they generally only accept the defense that can win 100%, and then there are cases with a high winning rate and wide social repercussions, so as to make a name for themselves, so that more people will think of themselves after encountering trouble.
To some extent, the ultimate goal of either the first or the second is not to help the poor, but to use it as a stepping stone into the circle that can serve the rich.
Obviously, for billionaires who can afford to hire a luxurious team of dream lawyers, these two types of entry-level lawyers pose no threat at all.
It is important to know that a top lawyer must not only be proficient in a wide variety of legal provisions, but also be familiar with the procedures of various law enforcement agencies, find out the mistakes made by the other party in the process of law enforcement, have a wealth of contacts at hand, and once they go all out, the energy generated is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
The social status of this group of people is so special that since the founding of the United States, there have been 45 presidents in the United States, and lawyers account for 26, more than half of the total.
No one knows if the top lawyers will announce their candidacy for legislators, mayors or governors the next moment, or whether they will become big names in the real branches of government or even the presidency, so they have hidden privileges at some point.
This is why many criminal cases are clearly conclusive in the eyes of many people, enough to send the perpetrator to prison for more than 20 years.
But as soon as the top lawyers come out, they can overturn the case in a few days. At worst, a sentence of more than 20 years can be turned into a year or a few months, and then bail is applied for, and no jail is required, or a bite in the back, turning the plaintiff into a defendant and sending the victim to prison.
Obviously, Lu Li's current net worth is more than one billion dollars, and he can definitely afford to hire any lawyer, and his personal lawyer and partner, Bernard, is a well-known old hooligan in Miami's judicial circles, as long as it does not involve sensitive social issues and political correctness, he has almost never lost a case, and even if the evidence is unfavorable, he can fight for an out-of-court settlement.
The high school students who have not really entered the cruel society are completely stunned by this practice of stoning people to death with money, especially Angela, who helped shoot the video, asked with an unbelievable face: "Are you...... Are you really going to sue him?!"
"Of course, why not? I'm not the kind of person who chooses to swallow my anger when I'm insulted. Anyone who speaks disrespectfully about my skin color, race, or ethnicity must be prepared to pay the price. Whether it costs a million, a million, or even a hundred million, I'm going to ruin him and be penniless. ”
Without any concealment at all, Lu Li directly showed the aggression hidden in the deepest part of his heart, and at the same time stared at the boys in the room who were also on the rugby varsity team with sharp eyes, as long as someone dared to take action, they would immediately be put to the ground.
Embracing the culture of gangs such as school fraternities in the United States, several of them are eager to rush in and fight.
In fact, due to the imminent meeting with the notorious US military, Lu Li's mental pressure was very high, and he urgently needed a window to vent.
Unfortunately, the boy, who didn't know if it was out of jealousy or something else, happened to hit the muzzle of the gun and became an unlucky punching bag.
Under this naked threat, the teenager who was still a little enthusiastic under the stimulation of alcohol just now instantly sobered up a lot, and you looked at me, I looked at you, and finally lowered his head without saying a word.
"Hmph! a group of cowards!" Lu Li, who was in a very bad mood, changed his usual gentle style and said provocatively.
Regrettably, however, no one dared to respond, and watched him take out his mobile phone in public and dial the lawyer's number.
After a few busy sounds, Bernard's lazy voice came from the microphone: "Hey, dear Mr. Lu, you are still calling me so late, are you in trouble?"
"That's right, I'm very irritable right now, because just now an idiot high school student insulted me for being a yellow-skinned monkey and told me to get out of my garbage country, what do you think about this matter can make me feel better?" Lu Li asked bluntly.
"Oh, who is that idiot, are there any witnesses, has he used violence against you?" Bernard hastened to ask a few key questions.
As soon as he heard that he was going to fight a lawsuit, he immediately became energetic, and his voice was full of excitement and anticipation, like a shark that smelled blood.
"What's his name?" Lu Li asked the other victim as he turned around.
Emily hesitated for a second, then gritted her teeth and replied, "Adam!
"Thank you!" Lu Li nodded politely and continued into the phone: "The other party's name is Adam Bellman, a member of the Springs' high school football team. Don't worry about the evidence, I have a full video on hand, and there is also a girl who was almost injured in his violent act. ”
"Hahahaha! Then what are you hesitating about!Sign a principal-agent agreement, and I'll take care of the rest. If I can't win the case with such sufficient evidence, I'll jump straight from the window of my office. Bernard assured with confidence.
"No, you don't understand what I mean. There is no need to win the lawsuit, and there is no need for any apology or damages. What I want is to put it off for as many years as possible, and let the other party spend all their savings and finally go bankrupt. Lu Li sneered and made a request.
Bernard was undoubtedly a clever man, and immediately figured out the secret, laughing and teasing, "Hahahaha! Well, since you don't care about spending money, I'll charge by the hour and guarantee that you'll be satisfied. ”
Hanging up the phone, Lu Li bent down and said condescendingly to Adam Bellman, who had a hideous expression: "Get out, hurry up and go home and tell your parents how much trouble you have caused." Remember, the court ticket will be delivered to you within three days at the latest......"
