easy answer in nc... the father.

The Ohio case in question was settled out of court, why would an out
of court settlement in North Carolina necessarily be any different ?

but here's one for you. case is in north carolina. father makes the

of recovery, plus reimbursement of costs.
lawyer lost the case snipped
so...since you were talking shares of money, who do you

Yeah, poor thing, the lawyer rolled the dice and lost, I don't have
