A Charleston, South Carolina attorney is attracting attention for the rather inflexible conditions he sets on opposing lawyers’ wish to contact him. He offers a choice of two ways.
(1) Call my cell any day between 4:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. If I am not already on the phone with another opposing counsel, I will answer and spend up to five minutes on the phone with you. At the end of our five-minute talk, I may instruct my staff to schedule a longer meeting with you if you satisfy the criteria set forth in #2 below. Please note that I spend just five minutes on each call, so if I don’t answer when you call, wait a few minutes and try again. My cell is XXX-XXXX. Call only between 4:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. as I spend the rest of my day focused solely on achieving my clients’ goals.
The second way to reach him might prove even less appealing — check it out. [FITSNews]

This fellow does litigation, apparently.
I foresee a lot of conferences with the court, opposing counsel, and Mr. Important about his strange notions of how to resolve/proceed on a case.
After a few of these, he will change his ways.
State courts probably don’t care.
A jerk like that–I’d do everything by email.
“…I spend the rest of my day focused solely on achieving my clients’ goals.” Would in this include settlement discussion with opposing counsel and discussing discovery issues with opposing counsel etc?
