I love San Diego. If I had it to do over again, I would have lived there rather than Los Angeles. I have spent a lot of time there on some big cases. We usually stayed at the U.S. Grant Hotel which is close to everything. But, I never have had Mexican food there.
That case was one of two huge divorce cases I was involved with where every knowledgeable family law attorney I knew said we had no chance of winning. We won both of them and both were affirmed on appeal. In that one, without our knowledge our client offered his wife $225 Million and the family residence to settle. She wanted $800 Million, and turned it down. At trial, she got $11 Million and the house. Not that she is going to live in poverty, but...
As an aside, the client was born in Gibsonia. He went away to a New England prep school and college and apparently hated Pittsburgh.
