Wendy will handle lunch, Alyson will be responsible for wardrobe and Cameron will do the google searches regarding if you are lawyer, ripping people off can lead to a big payday.

The next time I have a legal problem with someone, I am going to just kill them instead of tossing money at a lawyer.

Just think of how many John Grissom novels you could buy with $ 1,000. All those poor lawyers will be able to afford is a couple of tricked out Ferraris.

Client can't go after the lawyers -- he's in jail.

On the other hand, once the guy buys $1000 worth of cigarettes in the prison commissary, he is a wealthy man.

The plaintiff is an absolute thug who endangered hundreds of people during his chase and thankfully only injured the officer he struck. The local opinion is that we all wish he hadn’t survived his self-inflicted crash. After being thrown from the car, the pursuing officers arrived seconds later and ordered him to show his hands. Apparently he was unconscious and didn’t comply; since the police already knew he was a deadly threat and he didn’t show his hands, they beat him for about ten seconds. There is no sympathy lost on this guy around here.
That being said, the lawyers are being typical lawyer sleazebags.
I'm posting this for Allen at Division who is currently unable to post things here. Allen lives in Alabama.

In spite of all the well deserved ridicule of the vast majority of lawyers who are, indeed scum-bags; it is important to remember that there really are some good, honorable, ethical lawyers. I know, because I have actually met both of them.

This sounds fair to me.

It's routine for lawyers to get a third of the settlement. So this lawyer gets a third, that lawyer gets a third, and the other lawyer gets a third. He's lucky he didn't hire a fourth lawyer.

I met a good lawyer once too. Actually he was an actor that played a lawyer on TV but that was close enough for me.

TV lawyers? Matlock would have NEVER taken this case.
On the other hand, the lawyer from Breaking Bad would have taken the cops for at least a mil.

We will take this case on appeal. It sounds profitable.
