Judge Roy L Pearson, Jr Sues Immigrant Korean Dry Cleaners for $25M
What a prick. Judge Roy L Pearson, Jr should have his license to practice revoked. According to court documents, the problem began in May 2005 when Pearson became a judge and brought several suits for alterations to Custom Cleaners in Washington. A pair of pants from one suit was missing when he requested it two days later.
Pearson asked the cleaners for the full price of the suit: more than $1,000.
But a week later, the Chungs said the pants had been found and refused to pay. Pearson said those were not his pants, and decided to take the Chungs to the cleaners and sue.

WTF … did he have like a 25 million dollar check in those pants or something? No way he’s going to win this… but I’m sure he will manage to screw them out of their business by hook or by crook.
This guy should have never been a judge. What a moron! I have a feeling he’s gonna lose this case because of lack of evidence on the high cost of the pants. He would have to prove that the pants cost thosands of dollars and in order for the Federal Court to actually get resolve this, the pants would have to be worth more than $75,000.00. He may also get an admonishment from the trial. If he loses, which I think he will, the owners of the dry cleaners should file for attorney’s fee reimbursement and punitive damages for filing a frivolous claim.
This guy is all about our weakness in the Judicial system as well as being a prick with a capital P. His divorce papers are published on the web and his request for “Spousal Support” shows his desire for other peoples money. Unbelievable that someone hasn’t beaten him to a pulp or better yet….............
This is a prime example of what is wrong with our court system. If our judges had enough balls to think for themselves and throw a case like this out of court, fine the lawyer or judge that brought it before him or her, plus pay all court costs. If the judges would do this, it wouldn’t take long before a lot of these frivolous law suits would disappear and I’m sure the American people would be behind those judges. Of course the lawyers wouldn’t be.
Like a saying I heard years ago. This country will not be taken down by a foreign country, it will be taken down by our own judges
It would be interesting if they found a hair with DNA on the pants (the cuffs, for example) which he claimed were not his pants, and they matched with his own hair. End of case.
Royer, Royer, Pants on Fire
It would more be interesting if some Korean Tae Kwon Do black belts beat his ass with some nunchucks.
Ha, ha! This “judge” claims mental anguish as part of his law suit over loosing his pants (and then being offered compensation). Should the delicate little flower really be in charge of a courtroom and it’s contentious processes? I think he has told us all, himself, he has no business acting as a judge.
Watch for this guy. First he wanted spousal support from his ex-wife, now $67 million for a pair of pants. Next, he’ll be suing Wal Mart for falling down in their parking lot.
By the way… does anyone know what I/we as citizens can do to force tort reform? I mean other than taking the system away from the lawyer and ex-lawyers?
This is a clear proof of the failure of our current justice system, people LOST THEIR COMMON Senses, and so called “Judge” Pearson lost his mind and using the justice resource to abuse the justice system, what else could be worse then this. It’s a fox guarding the hen house.
If the cleaners need to go back to their country, this person should be send back to Africa
What an hypocritical man! He is a shameful to the justice system, higher education, and his associations, affiliations.
The Chungs should be awarded the $65M for the abuses heaped on them by this sorry excuse for a human being, Roy Pearson. He should be disrobed, disbarred, or otherwise kicked out of every professional associations he ever belongs to for bringing shame to the legal profession, as if it needs more of it.
If the Chung’s lawyer loses this case, he should be disbarred, too. He should not have let this case drag on to this point in the first place.
Coolley
if you’re reading this…fuck you roy l pearson jr. . you’re an asshole
roy pearson is a shit bag and an embarrassment to the justice system!
Yea, the Chungs should countersue his sorry a**. It make my blood boils.
Wow, and I thought that the dumb bitch that sued for coffee burns was pathetic. Kiss my ass Roy. I hope u get your pants sued off. (pun intended).
Judge Pearson should have his license revoked. People like him sueing others for stopid things like mcdonalds and stuff should never win ina court.
No, he sued for 65 million dollars. Can’t believe that he’s a jugde and lawyer. Where did he get his law degree from. He’s being greedy and sucking out money from the Chung. He asked for $1500 first. Then the Chung offered him $3000, then $4000, then $12,000. Still, he caculated and sued the Chung for 65 Million.
You would think he would be intelligent enough to understand that even if (and thats a big if) he won the case there would be no way the Chungs would have tangible assests even remotely in that neighborhood. What a waste of time and energy.
I have an idea. Absurdity of this article made me laugh and pee in my pants. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one. Therefore people who peed in their pants should get together and file a class action suit against Pearson for causing wardrobe damage, emotional distress and physical distress, which resulted from chafing caused by wet undergarment. I smell millions. And ammonia.
Wonder how Roy would feel if his parents owned the Dry Cleaners…and some asshole lawyer/judge did this to them….bet Roy would be trying to sue the “pants” off the guy.
The “judge” needs to swipe the chips off of his shoulders & fess up that he & those he is influenced by are simply envious, resentful, coveting & jealous of the Asian immigrants that worked hard, followed the rules & took advantage of this land of opportunity as opposed to he & his that are expecting & feeling the sense of entitlement, feeling jipped that he & his were dealt a shotty hand & wollowing in transparently masked self-pitty & taking it out on nose-to-the-grindstone successful Asian immigrants. There, I said it. Simply stating the facts & not ashamed of it! Can you say tort reform!? This should be thrown out & he should be made to pay for the court’s & everyone’s elses, including the defendent’s wasted time.
This SOB should be disbarred and ordered to pay back the waste of time and resources to our judicial system. I would gladly give him an old pair of slacks out of my closet and a $20 bill to make him disappear. Oh, and dont forget the victims of his gross missuse of our court
system, the owners of the drycleaning business. They should be entitled to some sort of punititive damages for his zealous attack. This guy sounds more like a judge from Tijuana than the USA .
The Chungs need help for lawsuit.

Please visit this website and help them out.
I recently read how some illustrious members of the legal community lament the low estimation of their profession by the general public. Well, here is a classic expose of the reason for that opinion. The Great Master once said it best: ‘Pharisees, hypocrites, you strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.’ It looks as if the legal profession, at least in some local circles, has inherited that great tradition of moral and legal myopia. Wisdom is justified of her children. I suspect judge Roy will have to move to another planet to escape the stigma of his folly. How much will he sue the media for when they do follow-up stories on the 5th, 10th, 15th, etc. anniversary of his disbarment?
What an abuse of power. This egomaniac will drive this couple out of business because he can. When you don’t like the service you simply go to another cleaner. Perhaps this judge needs a mental evaluation.
WOW .. What a Cocksucker! Roy L Pearson, Have a Sack Lunch Dickwad!
Why isn’t someone standing up and fire that idiot judge.
He is an idiot. Why is this tolerated?????
This is ridiculous, yes, but that coffee burns case wasn’t as insane as people like to think. It was an elderly woman who set a cup of coffee in her lap (as we all do) and ended up with her genitals burned so badly she required surgery. The coffee she was served was WELL above the level recommended by the FDA , and regulating the temperature of food is actually a valuable endeavor.
But yeah, this judge is out of his damn mind.
Roy L Pearson needs money and a ticket to HELL .
yeah, me too…. FUCK YOU ””””“Judge”””” Roy L. Pearson Jr…........ YOURE AN ASSSSSSS -HOLE!!!! Hope somebody will get you on this.. for goood! YOU ARE STUPID ! How in the hell you became a judge? My gosh. You are such an idiot moron. Your brain is too big than your ass-holed heart! How come DC is still having this case. CLOSE it! Even a kid understands how non-sense this case is. Shoot your self.. or shoot your ass-hole if you have nothing to do! Damn “judge”!
This judge is a nut. He has thrown this family’s world into chaos over nothing. He should get NOTHING . This is a frivolous lawsuit. If he was unhappy with the service he should complain and take his business elsewhere like a normal person. This is the most unreasonable lawsuit I have ever heard of. The fact that he has filed it against a small family-run business makes it even worse. Huge corporations are equipped to deal with huge lawsuits but working class entrepreneurs are not. The malicious judge should have to pay legal fees and for emotional strain. I hope the community around this business support the cleaners and that the judge is never allowed to work again. I live thousands of km away across the continent but I wish I could take my dry cleaning to them- just to say that I think the plaintiff is CRAZY .
The “honorable” Roy Pearson was recently re-appointed to his position on the bench. Please let Chief Administrative Law Judge Tyrone Butler know what you think of his judgement on this re-appointment by calling him at (202) 442-9099
He should be ashamed of what he is doing! Taking advantage of his knowledge to exploit on poor people – shame on you, Mr. Pearson.
isnt the law states that the fines cannot exceed 2x or a certain amount of $?
SHAME on you roy. $50million!?
now thats fair justice. Shame on you! as a judge you should be ashame!
Should the Chungs counter sue this opportunistic and exploitive man? I think they should. This is a childish tantrum from this man child.
I think this fucking idiot should be removed off the bench immediately, his lack of common sense leaves much to be desired of a legal professional. But even if he wins the case i can bet money , it will not be the last we would hear of the mother fucker. He is a disgrace to the country and all BLACKS
The whole thing is outlandish, frivolous, capricious and malicious! This suit should have been thrown out of court. Mr. Pearson is a disgrace to the legal profession and a shame to sit on a bench as a judge. He should be fired as a judge and disbarred, not necessarily in this order!
R H Kokoodan
How da hell in the world he become a judge? GO TO HELL ! I’ll slice you w/ my bare hands and feed every pieces of your bone to your own dog, pearson!
Completely shameless. Doesn’t he have any friends or family to tell him what a prick he is? Really unbelievable.
And unfortunately he’ll probably win the suit. After all this is the same city that elected Marion Barry- twice.
As a black man, I would like to say that, just as there are cops and pigs, whites and crackers, there are those who are blacks and those who are niggers, and this sorry piece of subhumanity is a NIGGER …capital N, Old English Script, I-G-G-E-R, NIGGER !!! He is a disgrace to our heritage and to our people. Dr. King is turning over in his grave to think that in the same city where the famous “I Have A Dream” speech was made, such an egregious violation of a hard- working minority family’s rights is occuring.
BTW , where is that tight-assed Jesse Jackson or that self-serving anus Al Sharpton, or other poverty pimps of similar ilk NOW ? THIS is an injustice..but do we hear from them? No. Not nary a peep. Guess it’s only a civil rights violation if the victim is black…and the “perp” has some money to be squeezed out of them.
God damn them all…and God Bless the Chungs.
As a black man, I am ashamed.
It is shameless on part of the lowlife to sue the poor people for a sum which neither he will ever get his hands on nor will ever the poor people manage to put together.
This guy is a nut. Just because he is having personal and emotional issues in his life does not mean he has the right to take it out on the Chungs. They’re considering to move back to Seoul to work in the charcoal factories because of him. In his court statement, he even went on to say how emotionally disturbed he was after getting back the wrong pair of pants, and broke down crying. The 54 million includes $500,000 attorney fees (in which he is acting as his own), $2 million for “discomfort, inconvience, and mental distress,” and $15,000 to rent a car every weekend to another dry cleaning service. And the other $51 and a half a million was to help other D.C. customers sue. Okay, A) I know a bunch of other people have lost things at the cleaners, but has anyone sued for $2 million dollars for discomfort? The guy has other pants, he needs to get over his loss. B) Why would he need a car when he using $51.5 million to put everyother D.C. cleaners out of business, which brings me to point C) What is it his business to pry $51.5 million out of the poor Chungs so he can do the same to more cleaners? I wonder what his mother thinks of him now.
So the Chungs won. Fuck that Pearson. You’ve got to be a fucking piece of shit to do this. Greedy asshole I hope people like him die, soon, and in the worst possible way. Those who enjoy bringing misery to people who can barely afford to live should be killed. Go to hell assholes. The Chungs should sue that piece of shit now.
Yup, fucking niggers. I’ve dealt with people like this for too long and know their true nature.
disgrace to da black race
LOL – TOO DAMN FUNNY
Watch your mouth you damm racist prick.
Your the “Nigger” Honky!
Fuck Honkies, Honky
Honkies, Just bums me out, Honkies
A fucking Honky, always talking shit and thinks he owns everything and everbody.
And your a disgrace to the White race or Whatever race you claim to be you racist prick. And no I’m not defending this SOB . Next time you reply to a comment, keep the derogatory and racist language out, ass hole. No need for that shit, just keep it clean. Thats the problem with people like you, always saying racist comments,etc.
Just another blue gum trying to get something for nothing. He should be removed from the bench immediately. This is an ebarassement to the judicial system. I really fell sorry for the defendants and what they had to incur fighting this frivoulous lawsuit. I would love to bitch slap this guy.
Thanks for linking to my article. As you may know by now, the Chungs won, I have details at: <a href=”http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2007/06/roy_l_pearson_update.html”>Roy L Pearson Update</a>
You don’t have to be ashamed.
I am a Korean and I have seen such ridiculous cases wherever you go including Korea.
Don’t bring race into this… It has nothing to do with the color…
what a demented stupid fool. Should he be a judge if he has such poor judgment? I am a black woman and idiots like this make me ashamed of my race and heritage.
AMEN !! Go ninja, go ninja, go.
We don’t want that psycho in Africa. You American can keep him. He is your judge. What a shame.
Only in America. In other countries, this SOB would have publicly hanged with his pants.
Fuck this bama ass. The Chungs offered this dude 12k before the whole trial – which is still ridicilous that they even offered it. I would have offered a middle finger and a peppermint candy
Sick of this kind of person, who abuse the US legal system. It is a shame for him to be a human being, no mention his being a selected judge. Shame!
Why have a separate word for black assholes and white assholes? They suck either way – no difference. No need to highlight race… assholes are just assholes.
This is hilarious..do you fools have anything better to do?
The Chungs decided to forgive Roy L Pearson:

This is directed to BBA (the third comment in this list) BBA you’re a friggen idiot. He didn’t say anything racist, all he said was, he was a “disgrace to the black race”. There is nothing bad about that, stating black people are good, and this guy is bad. I fuckin hate how people are so quick to jump on any statement and turn it into a racist comment. It wasn’t a racist comment, you’re just a fucktard and you’re brain acts like Al Sharptons brain. Shit, if you fart wrong, Al Sharpton would claim your fart to be racist. He’s a fuckin idiot, and so are you. The next time I see a post from BBA anywhere on the internet, I’m just gonna flame the shit out of you cause you’re a piece of shit, just like Roy L Pearson. Fuck off and die you waste of space.
BBA ,
When an anonymous person says something racist and then you say he is a disgrace to whites, that makes you the racist prick! Making an assumption that the person is likely white reveals your ugly bias. Look in the mirror before you start calling others racist.
