• Anyone in need of a pibull will be clambering to hire Patty Glaser — she’ll be just fine

• The Christensen firm was one of the two main surviving pieces of the blow-up of Wyman Bautzer Kuchel & Silbert in the early 90s. All the loudest screamers and biggest pricks seemed to end up with Christensen’s group; many of the others created an L.A. office for Chicago’s Katten Muchin firm, or went to senior in-house positions in the entertainment industry. Scorched earth and take-no-prisoners has been the standard approach with Christensen’s firm in everything it does.

  So I’m not at all surprised to see this happen. It all fits in with the general culture of the firm.

  Now we just need to see whether the next Pellicano shoe drops on Bert Fields.

• Terry should have stepped down 2 years ago, when he was indicted. His arrogance and selfishness has now not only destroyed his victims lives…it has impacted his Firm; his clients; his family, and friends. Justice was served; may he rot in jail!

• That firm has plenty of talent left. Patty Glaser and Brian Lysaght are the two best trial lawyers in LA in my opinion.

• I’ve lived 70 years, and two of the three worst person-to -person encounters of my life were brief (less than an hour total)interactions with Christensen.

  It is exquisitely fitting that nobody did this to him. His own arrogance brought him down.

• Couldn’t happen to a bigger prick. Actually, without his elevator shoes, Christensen is only a lil’ prick with a big mouth.

  Turns out “The Lion of Beverly Hills” was really a only kitten who cheated to get ahead.

  Come on, Terry, give us one more “Roar!” on the way to the big house.

• Good goin’ terry
  I think the Los Angeles Business Journal got it wrong in 2000, and they must have had a mis-spelling, the front page lead article
  was meant to read “Lying” of Beverly Hills …not lion.

• Well I see ’sour grapes’ is alive and well in this audience. If you are going to be known as the ‘go to guy’ well then a small prick or a big one makes little difference. Terry Christensen and his team of ‘peckers’ have done well….alright so the mistake was dealing with a F%$n bird AKA The Pellican.
  However, dont count Mr. Christensen out yet, my investigation has revealed that what we reported in August and the ‘hijackers’ who took control of the jury room have been discovered…and I called it 100 % correct….so lets see now what will happen to the conviction…the ‘roar’ may come from Ms. Glaser!
  Funny how so many take shots at people when they are down on their luck AKA “getting caught”…..maybe not this time, we will see!

• Mr Nazarian, how much social contact have you ever had with Terry Christensen?

  Because if you think it’s funny how people here are “taking shots at people when they are down”, you really don’t know Terry very well – he was the king of piling on. He took delight in the misfortunes of others and often reveled in it for his own enjoyment.

  Having had the displeasure of interacting with that bellicose & belligerent midget several times on a social level wholly unrelated to legal matters, I can assure you that there is nothing he wouldn’t say or do to “get one up” on someone else. I’m talking nasty, insulting, demeaning, and completely untrue things.

  Maybe that’s the type of person you like to suck up to, and maybe that’s what is valued as an attorney, but it doesn’t make for worthwhile member of society.

  On top of that, there’s nothing worse than a pudgey little 5′5″ turtle screaming his face off in public in an attempt to seem bigger than he is.

  Pathetic, and he got his just desserts. Live life as a weasel, go out as one. And at his age, that’s exactly what is happening.

• Ha, Ha, Ha!

  So third-rate real estate service partner Peter Weil and brain-dead, washed up, know-nothing ex-tax lawyer Barry Fink “will assume the role of Co-Managing Partners” Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! That’s hilarious.

  Everyone who has real dealings with this firm knows perfectly well that Terry Christensen remains its fully active and functioning managing partner, using the supposed “Co-Managing Partners” as his sock puppets – which is not exactly a big change in structure.

  “I will be withdrawing from the practice of law,” Christensen said. What a card! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Hilarious.

  Now for the real question: Is Judge Fisher going to allow Christensen to remain free while he appeals his forthcoming likely mega-sentence?

  OOOOOO! Exciting!

• I did have some social interactions with the man for over a year. In my experience, as a member of of the society, he was a nice gentleman, I do not know him as an attorney. I feel sorry for him and his family and hope that he goes free

• Anyone who believes that Glaser did a disservice in coming to the aid of friend has got to be a total nitwit. I was present and still feel if it was not for the strange behavior of the so called jury things would have gone as I stated….NOT GUILTY!
  It went the other way, the other items I find very annoying is that people will post and say things and then not have the balls to put their name on it, is this a little scary for you no ball fucks?
  Also remember this, Terry got caught, do any of you have any idea who walked away? I do, and that bunch would have been so much more fun than a guy who used the ‘ultimate goombah’ just once.
