Bangs, tattoos, and a nose ring? Watson probably thought he had this one in the bag and that she'd be in to some freaky stuff.

Makes him even creepier that he doesn't he even do this to attractive women.
i dunno, from what i see on facebook she's far more attractive than some of our resident tine traffic women on that thread.

Any chance that this string of lawsuits is two fold for Buzby? He lives in River Oaks same as Hee Haw McNair and maybe they have a running beef about something. Old Buzby make him some money off the alllegations, ruins McNairs best asset and set the Texans further back forcing him to sell.....

Kinda wishing Texans would have traded him and got something for him.
Yes, but news of this broke on 3/16 and trades don't become effective until 4 EST on 3/17. Even if a framework had been agreed upon, I'm guessing another GM who is giving up their future would put the trade on hold

He would not have been traded.

I predicted the power play to become owner when this broke.

Buzbee doesn't have the coin to buy the Texans (alone) and not sure he'd even pass the buyers test given his history and larger than life persona

Buzbee & Rusty. Has this never happened before? I can't think of a case.

As well off and successful as Buzbee is, he's not "NFL owner rich"

I don't think Watson is first person to have his junk on her hands

I don't doubt the veracity of her story on what happened, but not buying the trauma she claims to have suffered.

My FIL is a retired Houston Area attorney and had a pretty successful career, he tried a few cases against Buzby a while back. He doesn't have many nice things to say about Buzby but he doesn't consider Buzby to be a liar. So he thinks there is merit in these allegations, Buzby wouldn't be taking the case if these were meritless claims.

Not really relevant but I thought Buzbee was thought to have a net worth in the billion dollar range. If so, that definitely puts him in "NFL owner rich" territory. Bob McNair was put in the $3.8B range at the time he died.

Where'd you hear that? I have no first hand knowledge but that would surprise me. Big difference between $100M+/- , which is a **** ton, and a billion.

What do you think an NFL team goes for these days? Say he's worth $1b. Janice is worth 4 times that.

And I should have said "he didn't have the money to buy an nfl team"

Depends on whether they want to sell or are forced to sell. Last team to sell was Carolina at $2.3B, so i'd guess the Texans worth at least $3-4B.

There are only ~2,700 Billionaires in the world. That's a tough level to get to.

Id be curious how his divorce and subsequent marriage to a Galveston Moody swings his balance sheet.

The Moody's are all crazy, but I'm sure any money she stands to gain from the family fortunes is well protected.

Yeah. I don't think the Moody money will swing to Buzz but he's marrying a girl who's family has more money than him. She can afford her own stuff so she's not a drain.

Let's not pretend for one second that Tony Buzbee isn't in the business of scoring fat settlements and/or civil judgments against those with the means to pay, merited or meritless.

I don't know all of Buzbee's litigation history, but I can't think of any meritless claims he's rolled out off the top of my head. Care to add some context there?

Out of the hundreds, if not probably thousands, of lawsuits his firm files every year, what percentage would you say you're familiar with? Just trying to get some context here.

Buzbee is a very good lawyer and an even better marketer - but sometimes lawsuits are way more about damages and insurance/assets than liability facts.

Goose said Buzbee. Not his firm as a whole. I'm wondering what lawsuits Buzbee himself has been attached to that Goode viewed as meritless.

Goose was even responding to someone that has a take on Buzbee from another lawyer attesting to his cases. I'm just wondering what cases seem meritless.

I've seen numbers ranging from $2MM (ha!, no) up to $700MM net worth.

The dude owns his own private jet, and you are hella rich before you can really afford one of those things. Also rumored to own a buttload of real estate in Houston and Texas.

So you honestly think the principle of a firm is micromanaging his lawyers like that? I'm asking about cases Buzbee himself had brought.
BMX Bandit

I don't think he saying that, MAS likely knows, and I can confirm buzbee does not micromanage all his cases.

But I also don't see How do you can distinguish him personally from his firm. They're all his cases.

And if he has no meritless cases, he's the first lawyer in history that can say that.

I'm talking about Tony as the attorney of record. Not ambulance chaser cases coming from his associates.

Yeah the context is that he's a personal injury attorney.

So all personal injury attorneys bring on meritless cases? Is that what you're saying? You don't have any cases to cite. Just because he's a personal injury attorney. Got it. Your claim is meritless

I think it depends on the firm. Kirkland & Ellis has 2500+ lawyers and hundreds of partners/principles. Some "firms" only have 1 or 2 lawyers total...

Buzbee's firm has 14 lawyers total. I'm pretty sure that he's the only "principle" or equity partner.

Quote:

I'm not sure of your definition of "had brought"...but a quick search shows that his firm has filed around 80 lawsuits in Harris County District Court alone so far this year. I'm pretty sure sure he's the lead attorney "in charge" on every one. Of course he delegates much of the work to his underling lawyers - but they're all his cases.

The idea that you can judge the merit of his lawsuits from the ones you hear about in the news is silly.

Is suing ERCOT for a death of a person that had Entergy, and thus not on the ERCOT grid, considered meritless?

And while Buzbee is hella-rich, you'd be surprised how many people with private jets are not.

No. Met him a few times. But don't know him. But if someone wants to make claims against the guy, especially one that's generosity dwarfs anyone's on this site, I'd like to know why the claims are made. As of now Goose's claim is simply because he's a personal injury attorney. Whereas another poster's FIL says otherwise that's actually gone against the guy.

Is anyone really "making claims against" him?

I didn't see it as an insult. Maybe it was meant to be though.
