Judge Randy Kennedy is refusing to award Michael G. Hoskins his attorney fees, or rule on Mr. Hoskins motion to award them. He is taking the postion that he doesn’t have to rule on them, effectively denying Mr. Hoskins his payment for the last 7 months. Although the attorney that David Tate hired to put his brother Danny Tate in conservatorship has been paid………..the attorney Danny hired to defend him is being denied his fees- How can that be right? It isn’t. I view it as a clever way for the judge to effectively starve him off the case.I spent nearly two hours today on the phone with Michael G. Hoskins. He is a smart attorney, and I believe he is truly in Danny’s corner. But, he’s got to get paid. He would like to devote all of his energy to Danny’s case, because he is passionate about it. But we live in a real world, and the judge is making it difficult for him to be on the case.
If he leaves the case……….it is over for Danny. The judge will appoint an “adequate” attorney to his case, and you can draw your own conclusions.
Call to action- Please send a check to Michael G. Hoskins at 3200 West End Ave., Suite 500, Nashville, TN 37203. Make the check payable to: Tate Legal Defense Fund.
This is urgent, and this is serious. Send whatever you can. $10 to $10,000……….whatever you can afford, but we HAVE to keep this guy on the case. Yesterday, I blogged about the 10 things we could do to help Danny, and while those are important…….this has become urgent. I also announced the Awareness Concert taking place on Sunday, May 23rd at 12th and Porter in Nashville. Tickets sold to that event will also go directly to the Tate Legal Defense Fund, so please buy a ticket to that event-there are many who are watching this case from the United Kingdom and beyond, and have joined the “Friends for Danny Tate’s Defense” Facebook group.You can also support this cause by buying tickets for the Awareness concer-.even if you don’t plan on attending. It will be a donation for the cause. We accept paypal, and credit card payments. Buy your tickets now!
While Paul Housch bills Danny Tate’s estate for reading the Nashville Scene article that exposed what was going on with Danny’s case……….Danny’s attorney is denied his fees. It is now up to us to help out. Are you in?

Resentment and jealousy of Danny's success could be David's motive. Everyone else who drank to much or did drugs hasn't been put in conservatorship... of course everyone else doesn't have assets like Danny for the feeding frenzie of danny's estate!!
Attorney Hoskins is a HERO!
A role model, who is standing up against the evils in our society.
THANK YOU! Friends for Danny Tate's Defense.
Judge Randy Kennedy is showing he wants to starve Danny's defense off the case - why?
FREE DANNY TATE!
the judge is supposed to be the one who knows right from wrong? is there a reason he is digging his hole deeper and deeper? thank you kevin montgomery for stepping up for danny tate my advice to judge kennedy ---- start looking for a real job your days on the bench are over so start packing your bags.
Packing for the chain gang?
Well, well, well, doesn't this just say it all? Hoskins is wiping the floor with them and they have to try to starve him off of the case.
Of course, the proceedings aren't supposed to be about Hoskins. They're supposed to be about what's right for Danny. But, the perps sure don't want to do that!
Atty Hoskins is standing up and they're not used to that.
Ha!
Keep standing, Atty Hoskins - it's eating them up!
It's good to know there's good attorneys out there, like Michael Hoskins.
I thought they were all like Paul Housch. Glad to know they're not.
So there you have it. Convicted murders have more rights than Danny Tate and any conservatorship/guardianship vicitm.
They're trying to prevent Danny Tate from defending himself from this predatory take over of his life?? That's CRIMINAL!
Hoskins our man!
I hope other attorneys pay attention and follow in the footsteps of this attorney of Danny's. What an inspiration!
I just looked and Friends for Danny Tate's Defense has over 2800 people!
Storm the courthouse, Friends!
2800 Friends on Facebook?
Wow!
That's great, people uniting for Danny this is impressive.
It warms my heart to know people truly do care about people who need support.
Great job!
I don't hate all lawyers; just the good ones who let the bad ones operate.
It's wonderful to see everyone rallying to the defense of this good guy.
We should also rally to the removal from the bench of Randy Kennedy and removal from the Bar(fia)of PT Housch.
If guardianship / conservatorship was about the best interest of the ward, would we have one homeless person on the street?
In many cases, the ward had assets and property some were multi millionaires, but ended up on Medicaid.
Where did all their money go?
It's amazing how many "ideas" a judge can come up with.
