I’ve been wondering about the seemingly pro bono service too. I know from my dealings with lawyers they tend to charge you for every moment on the phone with you and for every paper they touch on your behalf. I assume this lawyer was getting paid for handling APs brothers accommodations and was perhaps getting a set payment from the estate, so he has continued to be paid automatically out of estate funds. Perhaps it was all pre-arranged with APs mother.

AP, if I remember correctly, at the start you were reluctant to let the lawyer know that you are homeless. He must have realized that you are when he started paying for motel bills. Maybe he’s trying to arrange suitable accommodations for you, via the social worker, like your brother had and set up automatic payments to the home.

That's entirely possible. However whatever monthly stipend the recipient is to receive, I wouldn't think would be up to the attorney to dole out in whatever amount he sees fit as in to discipline the recipient. Also I wonder why there's not an automatic transfer into the recipient's bank account, rather than checks being mailed out. And also was it the mother's provision that son A gets a stipend and finances handled, while son B gets nothing until the son A dies, and then it all transfers over to son B?

...Thank you.
I haven't received any of that money from the NYS lawyer in over a month now, before I left Patterson I asked him to send a relatively small amount (for it) to the homeless mailbox place in SC I get my mail at, but when I went there last Friday - a week or so after I got back - it was not there :( .
For one special (though not the largest) factor, the owner of that Patterson place bled me dry for extra cash over and above the SSDI money he was already receiving (And I even suspect him of stealing a document from me 8O !. The lawyer was now saying " he wanted to hear from the hospital social worker " who initially suggested the Patterson place, IIRC, and seems to be trying to push me into another such place - I don't lnow if she did something to have him not send me money, and if she lied to him :( ~ Perhaps not. The NYS lawyer was giving me " I want to hear from (her) " yesterday, and now, and E-mail from her says he's out of town for two weeks, and can't send me money till then ~ She says that. I NEED MONEY :( ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !


Why? I mean this in a serious way. Is there some comic that you have a burning desire to buy?

You have no rent or utilities, and the homeless have access to free food from churches and etc. You have obviously already replaced the cell or you wouldn't be here talking about it.

mrspock, quit trolling ASS-P. You say some pretty vicious things to him. Find someone you can be supportive of, and follow them - don't keep being rude and dismissive to ASS-P.

...Thank you, BA! :) I did have enough do$h in my card to go to the on SC area mall (in Capitola) 's AT&T store and again buy a " Model T " cheap but efiicient smartphone, which I am maiden-voyaving on now.
Yesterday,. I was on the library's laptops. There aren't daily line-up feeds in SC as there (presumably still) are in San Francisco, there is at this time, IIRC, no standard walk-in shelter for males in SC at this time that is, admittedly, the reason the social worker shipped me off to one in another county when I did not wish to go into another bach home (Apparently liscenced, unlike the Patterson one,) and did not have/wish to spend motel duckie$. There will, apparently, be one again starting in mid-November but less than there was last " Winter Season ", apparently :(.
My handicapped-ness :( makes getting around slow. I am not married to staying in Santa Cruz, but, any other factors aside...I'd want something with decent public transport and some amount of nice, walkable, areas :| .

I hope the lawyer can work something out for you if I understood correctly that he's working on it.

And sorry I started getting into things about your arrangement with him. Law is a special interest of mine so my curiosity gets the better of me sometimes.

Have you ever thought of getting a money belt to put your important things in while you sleep?

Mine too Ezra. I don’t like to see people abused or taken advantage of by someone twisting the law.

like what that he shouldnt waste his money on stuff he doesnt need and then cry for want of funds? i offered suggestions on good things to buy and he is all full of reasons he doesnt want them. also im quite sure this a panhandling thread which is not allowed

In my opinion, you are bullying him. I agree that ASS-P is hard to help because he often makes decisions that seem irrational to the rest of us. But I don't think that he is panhandling.

If your comments can't help someone, then stuff them. (I don't expect my comment here to help you, but if I can get you to leave ASS-P alone, then that's justification enough.) Truly, others will judge you by the online behavior you engage in.

...At this time,I don g feel like a sweetie Spock's comments, which I think k I have tended, anyway, to answer...
Especially since a MAJOR bad :cry: development has happened at this end :( - the seemingly trustworthy hospital social worker went over my head to the NYS lawyer and told him not to send me money from my funds because I was about to move to San Jose - and because per her, I wanted her to be my SSDI payee (100% a lie!) :x :cry: ! !! !! !! !!

...She apparently did not say she wanted to be my SSDI payee, mistaken there ..but she DID tell the NYS lawyer not to send me money! I have not received money from him in over a month! This is hardly spendthrift-ism :( ...and I have not received my SSDI money for a long time, basically, endlessly rushing back and forth to /fro Patterson the hospital has not let me have enough good stability to do it! :cry: The story of my life, authority figures endlessly pulling out the rug from underneath me and saying " No, go HERE! No, go THERE! "!... :cry: Not allowed to have good stability :cry:
I now am outside, only have a toi-heavy fabric blanket for sleep :( . I'm not wed to staying in Santa Cruz, but where would I go :cry: ? How?????
In pain from the lack of the edibles, and a not-ad jtted ER visit to-day didn't get me a new prescription. Maybe I'll sleep tonight where the backpack got stolen before. I do have the NYS money+ though that lawyer's away now - that could help me in setting up a place :|

He has solicited for money, for someone to help him getting places and teach him tech, to store is property, to get things for him like his transcripts etc, plenty of times in the past. However at the moment he's not doing that, so best to either be nice to him or not say anything.

He has solicited directly for money in spite of him saying that he is not looking for material goods? That's very much against forum rules.

As for driving him places, that's outrageous. Most of us don't live anywhere near CA, and it would be stupid to ask for in any event.

Also, I'm wondering if there is a setting allowing me to bypass your posts and simply not see them. If there isn't there should be.
