Corey Ferraez was a wanted man for nearly a month after a Perry County Chancellor ordered his arrest on June 19. Despite being on the lam, the Hattiesburg attorney still managed to practice law despite covid, addiction, kidney stones, and depression. Check this out:
Ferraez filed the lawsuit on July 1.
Kingfish note: Somehow, I don't think Chancellor Sheila Smallwood will be amused when she finds out about this lawsuit.

guessing this plaintiff isn't aware that if damages are awarded...... he may not see any of it?
Oh what a deadly web we weave--
Doesn't this impeach his paralegal's court testimony?
He just needed a little more money.
All in spite of the poor cellphone service. He is amazing.
You can file a complaint in federal court online. He could have filed this from anywhere as long as he had access to a computer. I've never tried filing through my phone, but I assume one could do that as well.
I believe he testified at the hearing that he was, quote, in the process of "shutting down" his practice. Yet here he is, out here filing fresh just-out-the-oven lawsuits. Several attorneys caught that and were texting about it when it was circulated on the Courthouse News Service (which alerts to all new civil cases that are filed in the State). What a complete tool.
The initial complaint has to be filed in hard copy, with a civil cover sheet and a check for the filing fee (about $400 in federal court). It has to filed in person or through the mail.
at 12:50: I've never tried on the phone either. Now I'm curious to see if it will work lmao
Not any longer in federal court. All you need is a credit card and internet access, and you can file it online.
You can in Federal court if you are an attorney. Login to CM/ECF. Go to "Civil" > "Would you like to File a New Case or a Notice of Removal" > Select the appropriate Division > Insert Party Names > Pay the fee > Follow the rest of the prompts. It will let you do it all online and give you the civil action number at the end. My memory is you may even get the civil action number before it is filed so you can add it to the document before "filing."
I hope the court finds out he was filing (his nails) on the court date he did not appear, claiming illness.
Good to know. Thanks!
