WNY Attorney Dies in plane crash

[Carlos Hathcock]

I'll keep my personal opinions to myself and be surprised no one posted this yet.

Cellino confirms Steve Barnes, niece Elizabeth Barnes die in Genesee County plane crash

New York State police and the Sheriff’s Office are investigating this matter.

I saw that hours ago. Didn't really think it would be of interest to many.

My first thought though was that his ex partner sabotaged the plane. They had a nasty breakup recently.

This doesn't make sense, you fly west to Buffalo from NH but crash East of Buffalo in Pembroke????
"the plane had left Buffalo and was coming back from Manchester, New Hampshire before the crash occurred."

An incredibly long read regarding the 2, but extremely insightful with regards to thier beginning, the building of the firm, its day to day operations and eventually dissolution due to conflicts. Additionally, what determines the amounts of settlements ( EX- what injuries are required for the advertised multimillion returns). Solid read.

Years ago our family business was wrongfully sued for $145 million in a BS Dole v Dow type lawsuit that dragged on for about 8 years. I got to know our insurance assigned attorney a bit during that time.

He used to tell me countless stories about how utterly corrupt and dishonestly the Cellino and Barnes firm operated, and of the large number of cases they handled by bribing people for medical records and such. He said they were the largest legal scumbags around.

About 6 years into the suit, we had lunch one day where he told me that he had been approached by them to join C&B, and offered an obscene amount of money to do it. Less than a week later he suddenly up and left and did join them. He went from defending businesses wrongfully sued to suing them for the bigger bucks. He bought a home on Snottingham Terrace in Buffalo, and began sending his kids to Ivy League schools.

So, how do I feel about two Barnes lawyers dying in a plane crash? Not too bad. Not too bad at all, truth be told.

Of course, there will likely be the inevitable lawsuits stemming from the crash,- they will probably sue everyone from the plane manufacturer to the property owner where the plane crashed for not cutting down the trees at the crash site,- BEFORE the crash occurred.

As for me, I’m going to enjoy the day having heard the news. I kind of have that old musically themed “Cellino and Barnes,...the injury attorneys...” jingle playing in my head.

Only now, it goes something like: “Cellino and Barnes (then engine whining sounds)...SPLAT!”

About the only way it could get even better would be if it turns out that Cellino somehow sabotaged his plane over their very nasty and public breakup.

Yep. Not too bad a day at all!

The NTSB has surprisingly released some early information. The only thing they could find seriously wrong with the crash was that Cellino was not on the plane as well.

I've had personal dealings with "ambulance chasers" as well. I can't say I've any heartbreak for this incident. I think they show how sleezy they are when they build an office directly across the street from a hospital (ECMC) and not downtown near a courthouse.

If FUAC had been staging a photo op in the field right where the plane hit....

You don't need a criminal lawyer, you need a criminal lawyer.

This type of lawyers are there with the politicians and wall street money movers as the lowest type
of life forms in our planet, much lower than parasites and pathogens.

Many of the problems in our modern society are due to these type of parasites, speculators and
every other single paper pusher and smooth operator out there that have managed to amass millions milking the
system at the expense of taxpayer who are the ones hit hard with huge premiums and fees for anything they
need whether they are homes, health insurance or even education.

I don't wish anything bad to any human but I have zero respect for this type of legal practice.

It is somehow legalized organized crime. It doesn't get more white glove crime sophistication than that.

Any society and economy that doesn't create or produce anything is destined to dissapear.

hello global economy. 1 cent saved with china today is 1 cent investment towards the future missery of our grandchildren.

remember that.
