The axiom is that the gears of the law grind thoroughly, but slowly.  Here is an article from the Madison Record which has asiduously followed the Lakin Group legal malpractice law suit.  Now, defendant’s attorney has to report his client’s address, so that Lakin can be served with a deposition notice.  He didn’t.  The Story: "Tom Lakin’s attorney doesn’t know where Tom Lakin lives.

Michael Nester of Belleville, defending Lakin in a legal malpractice suit, missed a Sept. 24 deadline to report Lakin’s address to Madison County Circuit Judge Barbara Crowder.

Nester had written Sept. 14 that upon information and belief, Lakin resided in Florida.

Nester asked Crowder for a 10 day extension to confirm Lakin’s residence, but 10 days later the mystery persisted."
