Lin Wood Fined $5K For Calling Former Law Partner ‘Chilean Jewish F***ing Crook’

People in Georgia are getting progressively more and more tired of Lin Wood, and that includes his former law partners and the state bar. A judge fined Wood $5,000 for his “erratic, hostile, abusive and threatening behavior,” and told him if he persisted, the next fine would be for three times that amount. Law & Crime:

For the better part of three years, Wood has been sparring with his former law partners Nicole Wade, Jonathan Grunberg, and Taylor Wilson, who broke up from L. Lin Wood, P.C. to start their own firm Wade, Grunberg & Wilson, LLC in 2020. The former partners sued Wood later that year for breach of contract, claiming that their relationship with Wood spanning roughly half a decade started deteriorating as Wood began to exhibit “erratic, hostile, abusive, and threatening” behavior. Grunberg claims that Wood assaulted him in an elevator in the autumn of 2019 — and later caught him on tape apologizing for his violence.

At Thursday’s hearing, Wade’s attorney Milinda Brown denounced Wood’s “antisemitic” comments, and the lawsuit quotes Wood calling Grunberg a “Chilean Jewish f—ing crook.”

Other recordings quoted in the lawsuit show Wood comparing himself to Biblical figures and claiming: “I might actually be Christ coming back for a second time in the form of an imperfect man, elevating Christ’s consciousness.”

Calling the quotes “cherry picking,” Wood waxed indignant in court: “They accused me of blasphemy.” He spent a significant portion of his oral arguments defending his Christian piety and denouncing what he described as “heinous,” “salacious,” “redundant,” and “impertinent” allegations against him.

“I try to live a Christ-like life,” said Wood, arguing that he’s being persecuted like Christ in return.

Wood went to great lengths last year to block a mental health exam ordered by Georgia’s State Bar but lost. He recently testified in his own behalf at a disbarment hearing. Only the best people.
