Recently, I represented a landlord in an eviction hearing. My strategy focused on a technicality related to the eviction notice. It was a long shot - the relevant case law in our state dated back to 1908! Neither the judge nor the opposing lawyer seemed familiar with it.
To my surprise, the argument worked! The judge dismissed the case, giving my client some much-needed breathing room while the landlord prepares a new one.
But here's the unexpected twist: the judge, while reviewing my argument, realized the same legal issue applied to a previous eviction case she had just heard that day. Luckily, both parties were still present, so she was able to recall the case and apply the same dismissal ruling! It's always rewarding to win a case for your client, but helping someone else unintentionally was a truly satisfying bonus.
