Exclusive: Expert Explains Why Andrea Tantaros May Have Burned Through 3 Attorneys in a Year
The Western Journal ^ | February 6, 2018 | Jason Hopkins

Posted on 02/06/2018 3:46:08 PM PST by BurgessKoch

It appears the only person able to represent Andrea Tantaros in the courtroom is Andrea Tantaros.

The former co-host of “Outnumbered” and “The Five” has decided, after severing ties with three different lawyers, to represent herself in a lawsuit against her former employer, Fox News. ...

Given the intricate accusations she has leveled against the company — and the fact she is going up against the formidable legal team at Fox News — Tantaros will need to essentially teach herself how to practice law in order to stand a chance.

“Finally, Ms. Tantaro’s case is a complex one which will require her put on many witnesses to prove her case. So she basically has to figure out how to practice law, coordinate her entire case in chief and focus on her own testimony as a witness.”

Runger says her entire case is being jeopardized by her decision to proceed without professional legal counsel.

“Its a recipe for disaster and she really needs to take a step back, analyze what went wrong with the first three sets of lawyers she engaged, hire a new legal team and commit to allowing the new team to see the case through trial. There’s a reason why Abraham Lincoln said ‘he who represents himself has a fool for a client’ and Ms. Tantaros’ entire claim against her former employer Fox will be jeopardized if she elects to continue to represent herself pro-se.”

Generally one of three reasons that a lawyer will ditch a client.

1) The lawyer isn’t getting paid. That would be really unusual in a case that would seem suited for a contingency fee if it had any merit.

2) The lawyer knows that the client has, or is likely to, lie under oath.

3) The client is totally unmanageable and the money just isn’t worth the pain. Most lawyers have a fairly high pain threshold when there is a payday in sight.

Maybe she'll tear off her shirt, like the Rock did in "Walking Tall", and say "this will never happen again! And, I'm gonna run for sheriff!"

I did wonder where she went!

Is she working anywhere in the media right now?
I don’t think she is. She may not have much proof of anything, just lot of unhappy stories. Some would call that flimsy evidence of wrongdoing.

dresses in tiny “cocktail” dresses. Shows lots of leg and boob. They asserts sexual harassment?

She has no case.

What exactly is her lawsuit all about? Please tell me it’s not sexual harassment.

The things that really stand out in the picture are the watch, the wrist band, the nails, and those shoes - OMG what shoes!
