:33:02
She, uh, not only refuses
any more financial...
:33:04
responsibility
for David Greenhill, uh--
:33:09
She maintains that the,
the two of you are having an affair.
:33:13
Tom, l had to go
to his apartment yesterday.
:33:18
He told me while he was waving
a ten-inch kitchen knife
in front of my face--
:33:23
He told me that l was the only woman
in the world that meant anything to him.
:33:27
He treats me like we're
intimate. l don't know why,
but he's become fixated on me.
:33:31
lt's-- lt's scary.
:33:33
He's your client. You picked him.
:33:36
l made a mistake.
l really made a mistake.
:33:40
l'm sorry. Let's dump this guy.
l want off this case.
:33:44
l want this lunatic out of my life.
:33:47
- How do we do it?
- So now that the man can't pay,
:33:49
- suddenly you don't
want any part of him.
- That's not it, Your Honour.
:33:52
He totally misrepresented his ability
to meet these obligations.
:33:56
You are associated with one of
the most successful firms in this city.
:33:59
l don't think it's going to go under
because one client can't pay his bill.
:34:02
You can always sue for these fees
afterwards and collect in a civil court.
:34:05
No one's stopping you from that.
:34:07
Your Honour, he's already
in arrears over 29,000.
:34:10
- lt's estimat--
- The exact dollar figure
does not concern me.
:34:14
You took on this man's defence,
filed his plea of not guilty,
:34:17
went through the pleadings and the
discovery process, and now you want out.
:34:22
for this entire process to be
repeated with some other attorney?
:34:25
Why should they foot the bill
because your firm...
:34:28
didn't obtain an adequate
retainer up front?
:34:31
This widespread dumping of clients
is an abuse to the entire system.
:34:34
l intend to see it stopped.
:34:36
You will provide
the best defence possible.
:34:41
And l'm gonna keep an eye on you
and make sure that you do.
:34:46
Request denied.
:34:48
Mr Greenhill.
:34:51
ln your letter to me you said
you had complete faith in Miss Haines.
:34:54
Do you still feel Miss Haines
can give you adequate representation?
:34:58
Yes, l do, Your Honour.
