Lawyer son loses trademark fight with lawyer dad, can't use own name for firm

I’m grateful for the relationship I had with my parents. Yes, there were some disagreements during my teens and early 20s but that was on me. I couldn’t imagine things getting so bad that we would fight in court.

George Unsunk?

Sounds like he’s sunk.

If his ads don’t feature the phrase “I’ll throw the kitchen sink at them”, I’ll be disappointed.

As someone who passed through North Charleston recently, let me just say that they have some great lawyer ads. My favorite:

Injured?
Don’t scream!
Call Akim!

The kid has a good personal injury case against his dad, old guy really broke his heart. Wonder if he knows a good lawyer?

Oh wow, fired by his dad and then banned using the name… Not sure if the dad is a total asshole, or if the kid is just a fuck up.

That’s odd because I never got along with your parents. If I hear “You’re no MBrody!” one more time, I’ll scream.

Why do I think one of them is not a good lawyer?

Or he could change his name from George Sink to Sink George - it might work, too.

(The Sink George firm would specialise in child support and its mission statement would be “Making parents pay”)

Kind of reminds me of when the founder of Piggly Wiggly lost control of his company, and wanted to start a new grocery chain, but they refused him the right to use his name. As a big middle finger to them he named his new chain “George Saunders Owner of My Own Name Store”

At the time he named him, he didn’t loathe his son.

Unlike a person I know named Peter Piper. His parents obviously hated him from birth.

He’s a lawyer, and there is no bottom to hell - I think the answer is, yes, he could sink lower!

Man, and I thought my dad was an ass. At least he let me keep my own name.
