The Super Bowl, March Madness and Office Betting…

California Office Pool Betting and GamblingThe Super Bowl and March Madness are quickly approaching. If you’re planning on organizing or participating in an “office gambling pool”, then in all likelihood you will probably be engaging in an illegal act. The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 prohibits betting on most amateur and professional sports in most states.

While the laws are different in each state, in California, Penal Code section 337a states that gambling can be a felony or misdemeanor. Penal Code section 336.9, which may apply to most “office pool” sports gambling situations, lessons the criminal penalties for betting pools between people (such as your office co-workers) who are not acting for profit, with less than $2,500 at stake, and with all participants sharing the same rewards and risks.

If you’re an employer, we would suggest that you not authorize, sanction or otherwise encourage “office pool” gambling on the Super Bowl, March Madness or any other sporting event. Your policy manual should make this clear. Also keep in mind that if you have offices or employees in multiple states and phone, fax or email (or any other electronic communication for that matter) is used to organize an “office pool” or facilitate gambling, federal statues against gambling may also be violated.

Look, we know how much fun it can be to give each other a hard time and trash-talk each other’s favorite teams. We also doubt small $10 or $20 dollar bets will attract the interest of the legal authorities.

Having said that, we believe the safe bet is to keep all gambling outside the office and within state and federal guidelines. It’s just the smart thing to do!

“Thank You” From Another Attorney

Orange County personal injury lawyerLast week, attorney Mike W. referred his sister to our firm for an important legal opinion. Now what’s interesting is that Mike and I have never met in person but we’ve become friends through email and telephone conversations over the past year.

I’m glad to say that we were able to help Mike’s sister and get her going in the right direction with her legal issue.

Unexpectedly, Mike sent over the following email and gave us permission to share it with you. Very cool!

_______________

“My sincere thanks for guiding [name omitted]. She is my sister, so I hope that shows how much faith and confidence I have in making referrals to you. You are a true professional and it’s great to know I can send folks (and family) your way for excellent service and counsel. (You may quote me on that, of course!)

All the very best,

Mike”

LAWSUIT COSTS COUNTY $10.6 MILLION- Why We Like the Appellate Process

Orange County Loses Appeal

After our clients’ win their jury trials, the other side has the legal right to appeal one or more of the legal issues. We see this happen in almost all of our big cases. While the losing party’s appeal will temporarily delay our clients’ right to recover for their harm and damages, in the long run it’s OK. Here’s why…

In 2007, a jury found that social workers for the County of Orange had lied to take away a woman’s daughters. Because of this, the jury rendered a verdict against the county for $4.9 million. Rather than respect the jury’s decision, the county appealed.

As is the case with about 80-90% of all appeals, this was a bad idea. In this particular case the $4.9 million dollar judgment started to earn interest from the date the appeal was filed by the county. Attorney fees associated with the appeal, on both sides, were also added to the additional financial exposure the county decided to undertake by not immediately paying the original judgment.

In the County of Orange’s case, the appeals process took the case all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court. As most of us expected, the Court declined to hear the appeal and the jury verdict was finally affirmed.

Today the Orange County Register reported that the original $4.9 million dollar judgment had grown with interest and attorney fees. The county’s delay ended up costing our local tax payers and insurance companies for the county a total of $10.6 million dollars.

The County of Orange wrote to the plaintiff and her attorney the above check (posted at OC Register web site) back in May of 2011. Note that the addition expense making up the total payout of $10.6 million is related to fees paid to the county’s lawyers for recommending and then prosecuting the appeal. Ridiculous when you think about how quickly and easily this case could and should have been resolved 4 years ago.

When our clients’ cases are appealed, we remind our clients to be patient. Interest is being incurred each day and any additional attorney fees will eventually be reimbursed after the appeal is denied or otherwise rejected. Along the same lines, we sometimes wonder if defense attorneys take the time to share the “long shot” upside of an appeal with their clients and, clearly set forth the very real increased downside financial exposure. For many reasons, we doubt it.

The plaintiff’s attorney in the Orange County case, Shawn McMillan, say’s it best. “In my view, the taxpayers in Orange County should be pissed. This never should have gone this far.”
