Brad's gone viral!

We tried to warn Bradley Marshall. He's the defrocked attorney who's been trying to scare BlatherWatch with dire legal threats.

Now the mighty mouth of Horsesass.org, David Goldstein, has written a mocking post, calling him "a vain, effete, caterwauling pussy."

Now Dan Savage at The Stranger's hugely read Slog has picked it up.

Marshall has crossed another ethical line by using his former letterhead from "The Marshall Firm" and posing in his threats to BlatherWatch as an attorney in good standing. Officially, it's called "Unauthorized Practice of Law."

(Before he was suspended from practicing law in 2007 by the State Supreme Court and the bar association, Marshall was a celebrity lawyer, sports agent, civil rights attorney and adjunct professor at Seattle Pacific University, and UW. He was Mike Webb's lawyer before his fateful fraud case).

We say "former letterhead from The Marshall Firm" because said firm is no more -- not after his suspension. Marshall has painted over his firm's name on his shingle and converted his condo office on a chi-chi block at Leschi into a "day office," one of those places that work-at-homes or live-in-their-shoes business types who  sometimes need a mail drop, or to rent a respectable-looking conference room or an officious-looking office space.

We doubt the bar association would approve of this lawyer who's not really a lawyer writing on a letterhead from a non-existent law firm making unlegal threats against a citizen.

A wise man told me that when you are in a hole, you should put the shovel down. Mr. Marshall needs to heed that advice. Probably the height of insult would be for me to notify him that even though I am on here several times a day, I don't recall reading a single word about him..that is how much of an impression he made on me...sorrry Brad.

If he can win the unwinnable, I'll retain him. I have a long list of people I want to sue for no reason.

I recall Bradley Marshal being interviewed by John Calrson once in regards to a high profile case. My recollection was that Calrson and Marshall had been classmates at UW back in the day.

What's the saying about getting into a pissing contest with someone that buys ink by the barrel full. Update that comment to the 21st Century and this is what you got.

Those depositions should be fun. Promise to post 'em when they become available.

Actually, Marshall can only get in trouble with the Bar if he represents other people while he is suspended.

As an aside, I suggest that you not put too much faith in the Washington State Bar Association. The WSBA is a bunch of politically-motivated self-serving bastards who are responsible for the sad state of the justice system in Washington. Marchall is a little guy, and the WSBA would NEVER challenge him if he were politically-connected or if he worked for one of the big law firms.

This, of course, doesn't make Marshall any less of a pussy.

A lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client.
