This is from 2021 and is an average. So, keep in mind a firm barred in more than one state, like Nagel’s firm or that tackles more than just personal injury, like Deininger/Bilinkas, plus the notoriety of their firms can and do charge a lot more by the hour - Like, double that average or more.
And every time they have to read, write, or respond, that total keeps adding up.

No idea. Luckily have never needed the services of a lawyer.

If the committee report cannot be considered why would it be allowed in by MB counsel? It seems based on above comments, that it should not have been allowed to be submitted?

According to the GFM update, they didn’t submit a report. It was a footnote in the report from the team that actually did the evaluation.
I can’t imagine Mr Bilinkas not objecting to that.

Had they ever actually met in person prior to that occasion?

There is no indication that they have ever been in the same room at the same time or come close to meeting one another. The woman is from the NC area in which LK resided in for many years and they apparently connected online in Facebook blabber.

SO this Shelley is a FB acquaintance “shelly nelly belly bffs forever” and while LK is in the hospital she travels from NC to NJ, is not allowed to see her… and has to turn around? Did she not check with the hospital or the family before just showing up?

She clearly talked to someone if the stuff they posted on Facebook is accurate, that she took tapes/videos home with her.

What is the possibility that after a short time and several evaluations at Greystone, the Drs. there wonder why MB needs to be there taking up space from someone who actually needs that particular facility, and say as much?

I wonder who gave them to her while LK was in a coma.

Somebody on a one-way street in Newark?

Possibly… or just more SM lies, but who knows.

Impossible to tell, given the posting history of the parties involved.

Greystone has a long history of issues.
ETA: I was disappointed to learn he was being transferred to this institution and felt it was an intentional move.

Yeah, I thought about that later and realized that the “procedures” may change so frequently it doesn’t make sense to try to build an onboarding package (and probably especially so in the era of Covid). I can also imagine that procedures may vary from patient to patient.
Hopefully MB will quickly adapt to his new accommodations and new routine and progress rapidly through the levels.

If you’re understaffed and overworked, tools to facilitate better, easier transitions might make sense.
Efficiency doesn’t make it a resort.
It might even help with staff retention.

Maybe that is why RG made that 3AM outing - to meet up with her and give her the files.

The folks at AK probably wondered the same thing. And though they were probably happy for his sake to see him leave for Greystone, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were sorry to see him go because he may have been the easiest patient they have had there in a long time.

Is one of the people, in your opinion, who “refuses to understand what the rules actually are” Judge Taylor?
Or do you think he understands the rules and deliberately violated them?
